News and notices about interesting concerts, events, lectures, classes, live performances, benefits and happenings in SECOND LIFE, including informal gatherings of GAIANS.
Please see my Welcome Letter post, which I will be updating with new information along the way. Think of this GAIA Group as a portal, to help you understand what SECOND LIFE is all about, and find resources (books, videos, tutorials) to help you "go virtual." And other SL friends to talk to about your adventures... Blessings ! Happiness
Post your portraits here! Share photos of your Second Life Avatars, and photos you have taken of other Second Life Residents. Remember, you can also post these at Koinup, www.koinup.com, along with your machinima movies, story boards, and still photos.
Once you are "in-world" in SECOND LIFE, there is a lot of help available from Residents who volunteer to share their knowledge and experience. You can contact them through IM's, Chat and Voice.
As you journey through the wealth of communities, groups, and experiences now available in SECOND LIFE, report back on your travels with postcards and snapshots! Tell us what you are learning and discovering! What are your favorite groups, worlds and sites?
Please post your GAIA Profile and any other information you wish to share about yourself in your real life. Include your SECOND LIFE Avatar name if you have one...:)
This forum is for odds and ends: tips, tricks, discoveries, short comments on your SECOND LIFE experience, ideas that do not fit in anywhere else. (Be sure to use the excellent SECOND LIFE Help and Support - this is not a Help Forum).
Are you ready to make your own movies in Second Life and other virtual worlds? Find out all about Machinima here! Getting started, tips, classes, events and more.
If you are doing photography in Second Life, you may wish to 'preview' some of your photos here, to see what they look like as posted, or perhaps to make them available (if you are doing portraits) for your subjects to view and approve. This is a "work-in-process" space, so feel welcome to use it in any way that supports your creativity. Consider it sort of like a "sandbox" in SL...:) When you have finished viewing and/or working on a project, please clean up after yourself...:)
If you are writing blog entries about your SECOND LIFE experiences, this is a place to share, reflect, philosophize, imagine and tell stories about your experiences. For your illustrated travels, you are also welcome to post in the "Virtual Adventures" board.
There are significant opportunities in SECOND LIFE for all manner of world-changing good works. There is a special "island," for example, for non-profits, run by Evonne and Amoration Studios. Please share your favorite "making the world a better place" sites and activities.
Articles and other resources that expand our view of the intersect and current convergence between science, technology and spirituality, within which the Metaverse evolves.
Resources for finding your way around Second Life and the Metaverse: Videos, web sites, newsletters, books, mentors. If you find something useful, let us know!
Evonne Heyning's ongoing work in her various AMO Studio projects is a model of interactive activism and community building. Check out her various sites, blogs and worlds on SECOND LIFE. ON SL, look for those who are passionately engaged in making the world a better place, and help them !!!
