"This is the fifth and final instalment of our Building Community series. We have looked at some of the people who help us build community and connect with each other. This is not an exhaustive list, but we have covered the Bellisseria Citizens chat group (founded by Gingir Ghoststar), Special Events by the Hammies, the Bellisserian Birthday Events (by PrudenceAnton) and DJ Far’s weekly Friday parties." Read more on the blog.
"On Friday November 6th, 2020 Lab Gab, the live streamed chat show hosted by Strawberry Linden on all things Second Life returned to the the subject of the work to transition all Second Life services to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and away from running on the Labs’ proprietary hardware and infrastructure." Read more on the blog.
"We have made great progress with our new website. Check it out here – we think you'll find it useful. It offers a web map, which you can browse directly and a searchable illustrated database of available stamps. Each entry in your search has a View on Map button to show you exactly where to find it. If your viewer supports it, you can then go to the location directly from the teleport link on the map! Failing that you can just copy and paste the SLURL." Read more on the blog.
"It's fun to make your way around Second Life® using realistic transport. While a teleport is a wonderful thing you will see nothing of the scenery, discover no new places and meet no new friends while your pixels are being transmitted. Boating may take longer but there's nothing like getting there under your own steam (or sail!) and these maps will help you find a good starting point." Read more on the blog.
"H.E. Dariah Raynier, Honorary Ambassador to Heterocera, visited the Mount Campion Caves National Forest on Heterocera on 13th July 2022. Dariah met with Mar Scarmon, founder of this famous park in Second Life®." Read more on the blog.
"We are pleased to announce the appointment of Her Excellency Jezebel Bailey (known to all as Bel) as Honorary Ambassador to the Second Life® Continent of Jeogeot. She takes office immediately." Read more on the blog.
"The group is staffed by ten moles and (at the moment) fifty-seven trained Bellisseria Mentors. They are from all time zones, and the hope is that no matter what time it is for you, there should be someone online who can assist you. In addition to the help staff, some of the group members are also very knowledgeable about everything related to Linden Homes; and can also answer questions." Read more on the blog.
"We were delighted to welcome Patch Linden to our new HQ last Wednesday for his first visit. We reported on our regular activities, including the Post Offices and the Mainland Passports, and then discussed other ways we might be able to contribute in future." Read more on the blog.
"It's hard to believe our virtual world is two decades old. Twenty years ago the initial Second Life® was smaller than the area set aside this year for its 20th Birthday celebrations!
SL20B begins on June 22nd and continues to July 11th. Of course no other metaverse has Second Life's storied past, but the theme for this year's celebration is "the Future." We have embraced that with enthusiasm. Whatever humanity's future has in store, we're confident bureaucracy will be part of it!"
"This is the first in our series of Meet the Ambassadors. We are interviewing each of the ambassadors so you can get a bit of a feel for who they are and what they do. I should mention that the order in which the ambassadors are being interviewed is completely random, as no ambassador is more or less important than any of the others." Read more on the blog.
"People often ask What is the BBB? There are two answers. The first is literal; it stands for Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy, which still means little to most SL'ers. The second answer is about our mission and purpose. We are a team of people from the Linden Homes Continent of Bellisseria who are committed to help build community in SL and to give residents fun things to do." Read more on the blog.
"The great, the good and the the rest of us assembled at the Bellisserian Embassy in Jeogeot last Tuesday at noon SLT. Overcoming a technical hitch which required her to find another computer to log in, the new ambassador finally arrived. BBB CEO and founder, Boo Rojyo welcomed us all and introduced Abnor Mole, who had the enormous key to the embassy to present to the new ambassador. He must have been happy he had an inventory, rather than just pockets, in which to carry such a big object to the event." Read more on the blog.
"AmandaT Tamatzui (SL avatar of real life artist Amanda Tomasoa from New Zealand) is known to many of our readers as a stamp designer for the Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy. She is also an active figure on the Second Life® art scene. Many passport-holders will have visited her galleries and exhibitions, where she always offers special stamps in her unique style." Read more on the blog.
"The Mirror Pond region over at the new Fantasy sub continent in Second Life is being worked on by the Moles. In early August 2021 the Mirror Pond region was empty and now there are new fantasy Linden homes surrounding a big pond in the center. The Moles are still working in the area and may take some to finish. In recent weeks work is still being carried out across the Bellisseria continent and now newer developments are happening. Yay." Read more on the blog.
"On Thursday Aug 17th, I got a notice from one of my groups about a Bar Train Tour of Bellisseria, starting at the Newbrooke Drama Llama Station. It came at a time when I wasn’t busy, so I decided to catch the train." Read more on the blog.
"The New Year 2023 will start with an expansion of our transport licensing services and a full facelift for the already existing driving licence. The new vehicle licence plates for 2023 have already been available to you (on application) since October." Read more on the blog.
"The Lindens are inviting all of Second Life® to celebrate with a fun Pumpkin Hunt, taking place in Bellisseria from October 18th to November 1st." Read more on the blog.
