Hi All,
Unfortunately, I missed the meeting yesterday the same way as Dennis as I
was early, but thank you very much for sharing the minutes and your pix.
Seems like you had a lively session.
I would like to proudly share it with you that the most popular online
Hungarian news portal (index.hu) is opening its SL headquarters in these
very moments, so I can't wait to get off work and join their poolside party
tonight at Rydal (141,220,31).
Yesterday a cheerful Italian gave me a Babbler translator so we started
teaching each other Italian and Hungarian using English as the common
language, which was real fun, especially that we were figure ice-skating
meanwhile.
Hope to meet you in SL next Sunday,
Kati

Hi everyone,
Sus, it's great to see more non-English-oriented organisations
entering SL. I wonder, is 24Timer the first non-English language
newspaper with a presence in SL? Probably.
One thing I imagine will come if SL continues to grow as it has done,
is multi-lingual interface and support. Already there are specific
language groups in SL (I'm a member of 'Segunda Vida', a lively
Spanish-speaking group, who regularly organise meet-ups)
On Tuesday night, I was able to participate in Virtual Bacon's
presentation for the Info Island (Second Life Library) 'National Games
Week' celebrations - it was a lively talk (audio, using an
Elluminate-type of environment), with lots of comments and questions
from the audience (using text chat), and talking to Virtual Bacon
afterwards was very interesting too - he's agreed to present at the
'Digital Gaming and Language Learning' evo, which is fabulous as he's
an excellent speaker who is highly committed and knowledgeable about
educational gaming.
Afterwards, I joined an intermediate building class at the Second Life
Academy, learning how to make a set of sliding glass doors! I was able
to talk to the instructor afterwards, and she gave me some very
interesting info about a SL language game.
One of the great things about this environment is the ease at which
you can meet interesting people. I think the key to this is to use
your profile (as with any social networking site) - add information
about what you're interested in, etc, and you'll probably get fewer
random rude people bother you (this is the only SL virtual nose-punch
I can offer Susan Marandi!). That, and join groups that interest you,
and choose the SL places you visit carefully (as in RL).
> Did anyone see a
> virtual mirror anywhere? Or a script for clothes pattern design?
Sus, when you're editing your clothes, if you select the 'texture'
option, you can change the pattern design. You can select from any
texture you have in your inventory. I have a lot of textures I can
give you if you don't like the ones you have, and you can also upload
any design you like as a jpg file and use it as a texture.
This is a good place to learn more: (you'll need to login with your SL name)

Afterwards
I'll ask Baldric to post more about these events on his blog and then
to let you all know,
:)
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it at the usual time on Sunday,
but I will be online and in SL later on. Hope to see some of you then.
Regards,
Graham
