I was happily informed today that jokaydia’s application to be part of the community based 5th Birthday Celebrations for SL was successful, and we have a lovely 1024m plot here on one of the birthday sims, as you can see in the image above.
The SL Birthday events are community driven, and run by volunteers, so this is a great project for us to be involved in. The theme this year is ‘Celebrating the cultural diversity of Second Life’ and I’m really excited that the jokaydia community will be part of it. It will give us a great opportunity to connect and share with others in both the SLedu sector and beyond.
So the plan is to build a display which captures the spirit of jokaydia and gives the community a bit of information about what we do, and how we jokaydians contribute to the amazing culture that is Second Life.
Birthday celebrations start on the 23rd June …. but in the meantime, if you’d like to find out more about the 5th Birthday Celebrations via the following links:
