Anyone think it's worth us getting together and assembling a team of voluenteer's obviously under direction from Sakai to spend some time at the Openlife Islands mainly to welcome and give a little info to newcomers. I'm by no means suggesting mentors as most people are obviously SL veterans just checking it out but if someone was there just to chat, give a little info on OL and where it's up too, maybe direct them to the more developed regions to take a look it may impress on them to continue to visit or at least ensure they see the potential to return at a later date when things are really moving.

I know this could potentially open a can of worms for advertising and directing people to your own specific region but most region holders I'v spoken too seem to hold OL's interest's as highly as their own.

If this has already been suggested, my appologies.

Yes Danny we have been doing it for a long while now the greeting and when people can spare time you will see them about there as it is we do it off our own backs but sakai will normaly tell us in chat when its busy at welcome,

The advertising issue is not a problem as we are promoting the grid but we only advertise Openlife there as thats what welcome is about

That's great news, I'll put in as much time there as I can spare and that my pathetic laptop will allow me.

The foundations resident inworld meeting is a superb idea so of course count me in. Are you planning a fixed meeting place or randomizing the location?

Danny, no plans yet, whatever is decided will be agreed by all who attend.

I am thinking it may be an idea to have the first meeting in one of the chat rooms here till we sort out organisors and a venue and times suitable to as many as possible.
