"On 19th November Linden Lab introduced a new Second Life public calendar where everyone can view upcoming Linden Lab sponsored events and user group meetings.

It would be nice to see this calendar somehow built into the Second Life viewer etc under the Help menu soon." Read more on the blog.

"Today Linden Lab have added roughly 17 more Stilt regions and 4 more houseboat regions. In total so far there are now 156 Stilt regions.

Probably within the next few weeks or so once all the regions pass the QA process." Read more on the blog.
"The migration of Second Life®’s simulators and services to the Cloud (AWS Services) has been a massive and on-going project.

Some questions continue to remain unanswered, but users should see a number of improvements throughout the grid by the end of 2020." Read more on the blog.
