OK.

We're looking at the new updated region code, and it appears we can effectively have the 'freebie' in operation now, and we have community regions... So, thinking about community regions how would this fly...

We use a community region cut it up, hand out portions that are assigned to volunteers and leave portions with anyone rez access.

The handed out portions are used for building paths, scenery etc etc.

The anyone build portions are used as 'freebie' lots, for pple to drop their creations there for anyone to 'take a copy'.

OK. There's probably a few flaws to this, but perhaps it would be a good start? Any ideas?

Throw ur 2 cents in or volunteer if this interests you. Ideally it would be good to have the region up and running with scenery inplace and freebie dropping going on within 2 weeks.

I'll help Sakai, Just need some guidelines as to what you want and how do we make it fir with others work.

Well I gues the first things that need to be though out here are what kind of style should the region take on.

I was hoping to assign a region with a fairly unique terrain (ie far from flat).

Styles-> Was thinking something perhaps a little 'inner urban'/ 'semi industrial'.

Which is a genre we really don't see much of in the grid so far....

Any thoughts?

I  own and have developed a cluster of SL Regions to varied success. I have found that "theme" does indeed work and is not only possible, but prove successful to divide a region into four interconnected segments of similar environment.

Assuming intercity, semi-industrial as the general theme, this concept could easily wrap an entire region in a spiral transformation beginning in the center with your low level industry, then winding outward to a more tranquil environment.

Once the infrastructure is decided, for example transportation, boundaries such as rivers, and segment focus,  the actual build would be most entertaining to watch as it developed from four various builders concept.

I think the idea is brilliant and so far, to the best of my knowledge, never  accomplished in a single region. I welcome the opportunity if I am a part of it or not.

Hello to all again.

Would you like to be involved in this community project? Please reply to this post with a convenient time to meet in world so we can hopefully get a group of us together to get working on this project.

OK we need a time of the week for everyone to meet to get this going.

Anyone feel like putting forward a date/time?

I would like to make some comments here and I hope nobody will take them personally or the wrong way.

I have observed that everytime a group project is proposed, efforts are made to meet inworld to discuss plans. I find it is a lost cause to proceed this way when everyone knows that time differences makes this almost impossible. The best tool for gathering ideas for a group project is this forum. Just post your ideas and proposals, carry a group vote on which direction to go on and proceed. So much time is lost trying to get everyone together at one place and one time...

Just give a deadline for proposal, post them in these forums and then decide through a vote.

My 2 cents...

I would love to be a part of this project. I have learned a lot from the other metaverse, been heavily involved in the Fantasy SIMs regarding social structure and themed builds.

I agree, it would be quite difficult to get everyone together for a "meeting" but a meeting of minds can be accomplished.

Test builds would give a good sense of prim use and styles. Textures can be tried out. Realistic vs. stylized, photo or Photoshop/Filter Forge...

Stepford had a great idea as to how to lay out the build, yeah go back and re-read that post. LOL We just have to go to the site often and spend time there when we have time in-world, eventually we will all get to know each other, and the ideas will grow. Notecards, Forum, test builds, snapshots are all ways we can be in touch.

Let's do it!

We'll try to get a more completed version of the 'Alpha' Cafe in that region too.

So you can have a cuppa and chat with other users.

-> IF anyone has... a nice 'simple' chair with anim for that purpose ith would be so great.

Feel free to drop it in the Free furniture store on the region and we'll make good use of it in the free cafe.
