"On Thursday, March 14th, 2024 Grumpity Linden, the Lab’s Senior Vice President of Operations, along with Kali and Signal Linden joined Phelan Corrimal for the annual Above the Book session at the Virtual Worlds Best Practice in Education (VWBPE) conference, entitled What’s Up At the Lab.

The function of the session is to explore what’s “new” at Linden Lab  / with Second Life and their impact on educators and non-profit organisations using the platform.

The following is a summary of the session covering the core topics raised. The notes provided have been taken directly from the official video of the session, which is embedded at the end of this article. Time stamps to the video are also provided to the relevant points in the video for those who wish to listen to specific comments."

"We tip our hat to New World Notes, where we first heard about this location. It's not unusual to have impressive and complex Japanese builds in Second Life® but this one is different, in that it is sponsored by the Japanese Government via the national tourist agency. It's built by professionals to a high standard and is as much a showcase for what SL can be as it is a tourist promotion for Japan." Read more on the blog

"We are grateful to those readers who took part in our annual survey. The results were interesting and helpful. Thank you. One reader commented that s/he'd like to hear less in The Gazette about the BBB and more about our users. We wholeheartedly agree! The whole point of the Events & Announcements section, introduced last year, is to give stamp-issuing users the chance to publicise their locations, events and activities. The section is steadily growing, but many are still not aware they can make The Gazette their own on request." Read more on the blog

"Our preparations for B5B are proceeding well. Our build crew is hard at work setting up the temporary offices there of the BBB, Parade of Homes and The Gazette. With the kind permission of our beloved Moles, we've also placed a Tardis landing spot in a public park near our offices there, so that SL's Time Lords can visit in their preferred style."

"Claire M (primerib1) has produced a new map of Bellisseria, naming all the various areas. The Lindens and Moles officially name continents (e.g. Bellisseria, Gaeta) and regions (eg. Swordfish, Nanga) and private estate owners name their own regions (e.g. Nyunanga) but useful names to identify areas of Second Life® usually come (in true SL spirit) from the community. Claire has kindly allowed us to reproduce her map here." Read more on the blog

"The Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy (BBB) proudly marks its fourth anniversary this month. Founded by the visionary Boo Rojyo, this group of dedicated virtual bureaucrats issues passports, passport stamps,  car licences and number plates. We also  support Bellisseria's embassies to the rest of SL, license our tech to the Confederation of Democratic Simulators (CDS) – SL's oldest democracy – to issue its own passports and publish The Gazette every week."

"We hope you enjoyed using our services in 2023 as much as we have enjoyed providing them. We're happy to report that the take-up of the new V3.00 passports has been good. Not only do they remove the old problems of losing stamps during dodgy teleports and requiring multiple visa HUDs to collect the ever-growing number of stamps available, they also allow us to collect interesting statistics and to monitor how events such as each year's SL Birthday celebrations affect the number of people applying for new passports."

"Now that the first wave of Premium+ subscribers are getting to try out the private Alpha version of the upcoming Second Life iOS/Android app (and didn't have to sign an NDA to do so), I'm excited to share one of the first-ever published hands-on looks, courtesy longtime SLer TavishBrock Resident, who helps manage the Rosehaven Estates."

"Thank you for another year's support of the efforts of the BBB. It was great to see so many of you at our party at HQ last Wednesday. We had a great time in our backyard and we hope you did too. Thanks to Amanda for setting it all up and to DJ Stephanie for the fantastic playlist. Between them they put everyone right into the holiday spirit. Thank you ladies." Read more on the blog
