SL4B Meetings/2007-04-02
Transcripts are boring to read through, and although are available upon request, won't be posted here, only the notes.
Sim Layout
- Due to permissions issues, the original plan for having multiple instances of a 4-sim estate was turned down (understandably)
- After reflecting on the experience with last year's birthday celebrations, and taking the population increase into account, a 9-sim layout with 2 sims per period with an additional past/future sim in the center would be best.
- A rectangular 8 sim layout was suggested, but after rezzing a quick plywood model for a 9 sim layout, it was decided that having to walk over 768m to get from Y1 to Y4 would probably be a bad thing.
- To allow for the full (tasteful) freedom of expression for the non-PG communities in SL, it was decided that since we have 2 sims per year, that one should be PG, and the other Mature.
| Y4 (PG) | Y4 (M) | Y1 (PG) |
| Y3 (M) | Y0-, Y5+ (PG) | Y1 (M) |
| Y3 (PG) | Y2 (PG) | Y2 (M) |
Linden World
The possibility of re-creating Linden World was suggested, but turned down due to the scale and complexity of the task rivalling that of organising SL4B.
Marketing Materials
It was suggested that to aid in getting as many people as possible aware of SL4B, that the audio and video marketing materials for SL4B
