VULCANO

Vulcano is a Second Life region with a focus on experimentation and community. Founded by David Orban in 2007, Vulcano freely hosts dozens of active Second Life residents, that build, script, organize events, socialize and experiment with the virtual world, sharing the server space and resources. The Vulcano group counts more than 300 members, mostly from Italy. Members give their input to the policies that shape the spirit of the place.

NOTE: The following content may be out-of-date or imprecise.

THE IDEA

The island of Vulcano is open to experimentation, it is possible to build freely without asking permission, but respecting certain policies, indications, other people and activities.

Everyone is invited to share what he/she learns and compete with other inhabitants for fun!

We won't tell you to join us. Keep your time to live some time with us and you'll choose from yourself.

Soon you will feel that being a Vulcano member is our bestowing honour!

Be kind with everybody, collaborate and compete with smartness and creativity is almost a must for everyone of us.

Vulcano DOES IT better!

So Vulcano is not a place where you establish your home or activities, but a place to learn and experience dealing with others.

We don't need to pay you to camp here. Vulcano is an opportunity and a *FREE* resource for *EVERYONE*. You choose what is the best for you.

Nobody can tell you what to do or what to think here, but breaking any kind of laws or any kind of spherical prims would not be let us love you.

Until 15 June 2007 there wasn't a limit prims per resident, and it wasn't never been established other any kind of recommendations (except that of non-use items and prefabricated buildings) but to use common sense in the use of Vulcano. Once in a state of constant saturation of the simulator server, it becomes a must to impose a limit to give everyone a chance to experience.

SHARED RESOURCE

PERSONAL EXPERIMENTS

 #1 ANY INHABITANT of Vulcano land  CAN USE  a maximum of 52 prim for their personal experiments!

Objects created on the island remains into the land indefinitely taking a precious shared resource, nothing is auto returned at any time. The exception for this is:

the simulator goes down with available prims
the object' owner is not the creator

Housing and everything like it, designed for own use are considered to be the first candidate to "return" into owner inventory at any time. Every return applied from a granted cleaner is always followed by a personal messages; when some doubts can arise the cleaner can leave a warning pin and communicate with the private message to alert the builder for some things going no well and let other cleaner do not overflow the Vulcano' member.

Please note that the personal items the Owner and the Creator MUST be the same. The only exception to this is structures developed with more hands together with other Vulcano's inhabitant that should be signalled in some way. A good way is to set the object to a SL group of related co-worker.

COMMUNITY PROJECT

 #2 TO USE MORE THAN 52 prim it's necessary to propose a "project" to the community.

The only needs is to write a notecard about what you plan to realize (or has already built), and insert it into the red pot is on the Info Centre.

Each registered project will have at least 125 prim, that can be overflowed if the number of people involved increased and everyone actively participate.

Anyway, this is only an indicative explanation, you may need much more less prims or some more, just let the community know an approximate quantity of prims planned.

NOBODY can use Project for any kind of production for personal use and PRIVATE COMMERCE earnings. Projects do not need to be approved, simply follow the procedures outlined here, any problems in this regard will be discussed directly with the developer. Just let the community know that your project exists and keep in touch with other people that can be interested. If your project result abandoned or misused the resource allocated can be returned at any time after a preventive communication. Any kind of violation of the Linden Lab license, TOS terms of services and international laws can result in immediate kick/ban and return into inventory of all owned prims without preventive communication.

FURTHER INFORMATION

DISCLAIMER

These guidelines may be subject to change, any change will be communicated by means of the group Vulcano.

PUBLIC GOVERNANCE

If you like Vulcano or you already use Vulcano land to build we recommend that you to contact one of Vulcano's members to be invited into the community group of Vulcano, in order to be informed about news and meetings, and to the extended digital identity experience we can provide you.

Actually there are other two groups to manage the land governance and acquisition of other land in the neighbourhood. Please feel free to search Aeolian and Vulcanologi groups with the Search and to contact one of the member for any question.

Periodically Vulcano community held meetings for the management of Vulcan. All are invited to participate freely to talk and to propose everything. To know when the next meeting will be held and to read the reports of previous meetings, you can see our community website http://vulca.no

DIGITAL IDENTITIES

We can provide our inhabitants with an improved digital identity experience. Let know you in the world with an e-mail address like

       firstname.lastname@vulca.no
       firstname@vulca.no

You can ask for an account for free and daily use with our Google powered web site to to read web mail, make an appointment or let some other inhabitants know of proposed events, freely participate to the community wikipedia, an open book for everyone who has something smart to tell in the name of his/her avatar, publish and share documents with other member of the community or everyone else in the world.

GROUP CHAT

The in-world communication between community members of Vulcano can freely use the group chat to conference with people, socialize and exchange feelings, sharing ideas and public criticize anything but please keep out of flames and trolls behaviour. Anyone can asks help to anyone else. Whoever isn't interested can simple close the group chat. We like people to communicate with others to collaborate, we're a community not a remote help desk for free.

We trust in your good sense: the channel group must not become an annoyance for any members on-line. Obviously any kind of advertising outside the interests of Vulcano is totally misplaced. You can use friend conference for that or some promotional prim somewhere waiting people ask to you if interested.

Thanks for your patience, and we welcome you on our beloved land, Vulcano! :)
