The Confederation of Democratic Simulators (CDS) Celebrating Their 10th Anniversary in Second Life!! Thursday, Sept 25th 12:00PM Seminar with Host Delia Lake (Click for SLurl): On the Platz Seminar: For Better or for Worse: is 10 years of self-government in the CDS a harbinger of the future? Join your host Ms. Delia Lake, citizen of the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, as she delves deeply into this topic of virtual worlds: "What do you think about democracy in virtual space? A jewel to be cherished? A relic dragged in from solid space? An emerging evolutionary advancement for humanity? ...or something altogether different? This presentation and open discussion will use democracy in the CDS as it';s starting point--how it began, has evolved to date, and danced with and around its sister self-governing communities of Cedar Island and Al Andalus. Given what we've learned during these past 10 years in the CDS, how could this way of operating add value to business, civic and leisure-time groups that meet and work together on virtual platforms? From what we've experienced during our run with democracy in the CDS so far, what opportunities and challenges are likely to arise as virtual spaces continue to populate and mature in their use, and how might these issues be addressed?” Delia Lake This event and many others are being held to celebrate the 10th Birthday of CDS in Second Life.
