@everyone #OSFest2024 BURN Party!
It's day 17 filled with powerhouse performers counting down to the BURN. What is it? In the style of Burning Man, at the Closing BURN Party we have 8 hours of non-stop performances then gather in the Event and Burn regions for two hours of fun in-world "burns" backed by great music. We "burn it all down" so we are ready to start anew next year. Spread the word!

Counting down to the Opening Party at #OSFest2024! See the details on the lineup and free parcels still available! https://www.opensimfest.com/post/osfest-2024-countdown
Thanks everyone for a successful load test today! Despite active stress testing, the region server was steady with no crashes. During stress tests, users experienced lag which stabilized once the testing was stopped. For those interested in the stats: 3 hours, 35 unique avatars, max CCU 21, from 10 HG enabled grids. Logs not reviewed yet but the grid appears ready! Some visitors were checking out the exhibits and stores in work during the music portion. Free exhibit and store parcels are available! Simply HG over, find available parcels, touch the parcel sign to get the parcel then start building or bringing in what you want to show and tell! It's your HG "extended friends and family" reunion thanks to sponsors. The volunteers make it all happen each year. Join the fun!
OSFest begins in 9 days, but you're still in time to get a place as an exhibitor, merchant or sponsor! Check the website for the simple instructions, jump over to the grid to see the parcels still up for grabs, and be part of the celebration of opensim!

OSFest Radio is Live! www.opensimfest.com
Courtesy of Zeno.fm, #OSFest2023 now has its own Internet Radio station! For this year's theme, we are adding public domain and creative commons music during, or influenced by, the Jazz/Blues Era - so...
This year’s theme is Jazz/Blues Era, late 1860's to early 1970's and all the styles and genres that Jazz and Blues have inspired.
Progress report: Website is almost ready, and the grid admin are working hard to get the new grid up and running.
Good luck and happy building! If you have questions about your build, consider joining OSFests's discord channel where you can find help and suggestions

OSFest is user friendly, for all levels of ability.
Event Organizer Shelenn says: " Some thoughts for those planning on participating as exhibitors or merchants...
Builders and Creators in SL/OS, did you know how you build matters when it comes to accessibility? Did you know some users with visual, cognitive, and motor challenges use a viewer named Radegast? The Radegast viewer has an option to "read" the object name field of every object and its parts to the user. The number of disabled users in Virtual Worlds is a much higher percentage than in the offline global population. When a build is not accessible, it is painfully obvious and unusable for many.
When creating content for SL/OS, please make your builds accessible by:
1) Properly naming all parts (so Radegast does not blabber on meaningless information like primitive, primitive, primitive... or object, object, object...). Not properly naming parts disables others who need them described for them. Review your existing builds. TIP: If you have a linkset with many parts that take a long time to rename, you can right click the linkset to edit, select edit linked parts, then give them all (parts not used by scripts) the same name.
2) Scripting cues as in when building and scripting your scenes, people who cannot hear well need visual cues and people who cannot see well need aural cues. Providing aural cues for visual events and visual cues for aural events in your builds via scripting is practicing accessibility by design and makes them more immersive for everyone!"
