Where: HG Safari
When: 2 years ago [15 Jun 2022 12:00 SLT]

Destination 1
Weelandia on Digiworldz with Nebby Newman
What do you know about the philosophy and community that distinguishes the Tiny and Dinkie communities, reaching across both Opensim and into Second Life ? Nebby shows us her lovely landscaped region, full of fun for both the smaller and regular size avies, and we learn about the shopping and partying opportunities that Digiworldz offers those of the smaller persuasion.

________________
Destination 2
From the tiny to the very very large! Lone Wolf invites us to glimpse the the vast landscape of Wolf Territories, said to be one of the largest grids in opensim. Learn about the technical challenges and the aesthetic goals that have brought about this massive mountainous wilderness, Check out the Destination Guide on the grid to see all the many points of interest!

Why be a Sponsor of opensimfest? Is it expensive, exclusive, complicated? Here are three stories of ordinary folk who decided to get involved.

Marianna : I wouldn't consider these "ordinary folk" These are all talented wonderful mentors of opensim who have brought us beautiful worlds and lots of magic! 2 years ago

Cornflakes Week! It is the final week of February.
It's a uniquely Opensim festival, not linked to any season, religious, or national festival.
It's about silliness, fun and bright colors.
It's a way to show solidarity and unite opensim.
Any grid or region can hold their own version of a Cornflakes party! If you plan to mod your usual weekly dance event to make it cornflake-y I would love to know, and include it in the video this year.
To know more about Cornflakes:

what a great Safari trip to visit with @SamsaraTimeless and @Hyacinth on Groovyverse, and then Lorenza Colicigno and Tonino Lane on Craft!! Are you tired of reading the Boring Box? Take a look at the Safari Blog, or watch the whole thing in replay courtesy of the fabulous Lifted Pixel! and then, of course, get out on the hypergrid and visit somewhere spectacular. The best cure for negativity is creativity.

Small change to OSW home page possible?
Opensimworld is such a great resource for opensim - love it! The home page has so much useful info on it.
My request - could The Box be moved further down the page? Maybe swap with Events or Bookmarks? Just because more often than not The Box is so depressingly infantile and completely useless to anyone looking for information.
