NPSL: Nonprofits in Second Lifenpsl
Second Life Down for Emergency Maintenance--RESOLVED
Posted June 6th, 2008 by penguin kuhnUPDATE: SL is back up. I was able to get in about 9:10. If you missed the NPC meeting, never fear, you can catch transcript to be posted here
As I'm sure some of you have encountered already today, Second Life is currently down for emergency maintenance. It's currently not allowing anyone to log in. Per their grid status page:
"We have to close logins for a while to enable the database to process the overflow from earlier. The landstore is not accessible for the moment as well."
Come to the Party!
Posted June 4th, 2008 by KaliAs many of you know SL is about to turn 5 years old... Yup, a whole handful! This is a great opportunity to bring some attention to the work your nonprofit is doing in SL and RL.
As Linden Labs announced yesterday the party will be a two week event with the second week featuring exhibits from “business, education, health care and nonprofits”. Not only that but as they stated in their blog on Tuesday, June 3rd,
“We’ll close with a ceremony including a special guest speaker
with a very important announcement. “
The suspense is killing me!

Purpose, Benefit, and Successes in Second Life for your organization

Measuring impact, both qualitative and quantitative is a crucial part of our development efforts, so please take a moment to add your input to help support NPC:
