Great news!

It was shocking and sad news to hear about Rod leaving the lab this week. I hope the lab picks the right person next for the 4th CEO of Linden Lab.

Latest update (15th May 2013) VirWoX says, "Linden Lab has approached us with a potential solution that would allow us to serve our customers within the bounds of the updated Second Life Terms of Service." https://www.virwox.com/

BURN2 starts on 20th October through to 28th October 2012 which is open to all. There will be a special preview of the sims for press and SL blogggers on the 18th October 2012. If you are interested, read below and sign up. :) Press? Get into Burn2 early! Are you ready for a week long party celebrating creativity, art, and fire? Burn2 2012 takes place Oct. 20-28 and this years’ theme is FERTILITY. We have more than 100 builders/artists that have created this year’s community. We will be hosting a very special preview for press and bloggers on the 18th of October. Builders and creators from all over the world have come together to create an impressive array of art installations, stages for performances, and theme camps. Six regions form this year’s desert Playa. BURN2 is an extension of the Burning Man festival and community into the world of Second Life. It is an officially sanctioned Burning Man regional event, and the only virtual world event out of more than 100 real world Regional groups, and the ONLY Regional to burn the Man. BURN2 operates events all year around, culminating in an annual major festival of community, art and fire in the fall - a virtual echo of Burning Man itself. This year, Burn2 sold out in record time, and has even more art and theme camps than before. You'll find a thriving, involved "Burner Culture" on the virtual Playa, where everyone is an active part of the event. This is an uncommon opportunity to show your readers just what happens when a real-world event transcends the bounds of the virtual world, and takes its experience into the virtual realm! You may view all the fantastic builds, take photos, try out the art cars and bikes and other interactive pieces, then share it all with your audience. WHAT IS BURNING MAN? Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Nevada's Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. Burning Man is also an ever-expanding year-round culture based on Ten Principles. it's more of a city than a festival, wherein almost everything that happens is created entirely by its citizens, who are active participants in the event. How do you get to the Playa? Apply for a press pass at http://burn2.org/presspass We'd like to encourage you to use the following labels and hash tags when you write about the event: Burn2, #burn2 . We will promote those tags to make it easier for people to find your content We hope to see you all on the playa that day and during the festival from October 20-28.

Linden Lab have added new Destination Islands for new residents this week. More information visit: http://danielvoyager.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/new-destination-islands-added-to-the-new-user-experience/

No more quarterly or annual Second Life economy reports, says Lab “We don’t plan to publish a Q4 2011 economic summary. We are discontinuing regular reporting of aggregate economy-level data, because landowners and merchants have told us that the information is of limited value to them. Moving forward, we will instead focus on improved reporting tools that help individuals better manage their businesses in SL.”

Thanks Perrie for sharing my blog link.

Happy Rezday Rodvik
