Who is the best Linden to approach about a region-scale special event on a mainland sim

[Ianardo Bazar]

A few residents and I* are planning an event on a mainland sim and we would like to make it a region wide thing, celebrating the best of SL. It's essentially a street party where there will be music and shopping but also, hopefully basic workshops in building and noobie help, parades, displays of vintage cars and the like. We'd want it to run for over 12 hours to catch time zones and we would love it if we could (somehow) stream audio beyond the parcel boundaries for the day

That is why we ned some Linden help. We're having a street party and they own the streets.

So a name or a contact back from the right person at SL/LL would be perfect.

 

TIA

* The residents include 3 venue owners, a bunch of builders and a loose consortium of helpful friends and landowners

You would probably have to go through the support. Maybe these wiki and KB links will give you hints about special events, how they work and how much it would cost.

I wish you good luck and hope you have fun!

There's a cluster of regions just north of the "Boardroom" infohub that are rented out - the Hair Fair was held on them last year. The owner is listed as "Patch Linden." Info from his profile:

"I am the Senior Product Operations Manager for Land and Accounts for Second Life. I am usually only in world for meetings, sorry if I miss your IM and do not respond. Please feel free to contact me via email or the support case system. Thanks!"

Many thanks for these links and pointers - but I may not have framed the question properly.

 

The residents are all residents of a particular sim - one of the original Nova Albion regions - and some of us rent or own land here with venues. What we'd like to do is to use our lands to have a party in celebration of what a great sim we live/work in, to attract residents from further afield and show off the community feel here. So renting some other region sorts of misses the point (my fault for not being specific enough).

 

What we would particularly need is the ability to stream music onto the street - I'm sure that is possible, if rarely allowed - for one day only, and some other input from SL management to assist us in our quest to focus on the region. In return we'll provide free entertainment to visitors, stalls, space for build and newbie workshops.

 

Think of it as a festival-meets-carnival-meets street party. I'll check out the links you sent me, but I'm also interested in contacting an SL manager because we feel that encouraging higher footfall in a region, making it an occasion, building community are all things that help the Second Life project as a whole

Best

Each parcel has its own music and media stream.  If you're getting your neighbors together for a "block party" then send everyone a notecard with the URL(s) of the stream(s) you want them to play.  Each landowner will have to set it on their parcel.
