User:Salahzar Stenvaag

I'm Salahzar Stenvaag from Italy.

I am dedicated to the Second Life Volunteer program.

My goal is to help other avatars in using SecondLife in better and creative ways, especially using it for team meetings, conferences, discussions, idea exchange.

Specially interested in noprofit and volunteer organizations who want to use SL as a complementary platform for their activities.

I speak English and Italian and can help people in scripting in LSL.

I also have some skills in Building and in using tools and gadgets for building/scripting.

My useful notepad for wikipages to check for mentors:
