Never ones to miss an opportunity for a party, we’re having another one in Second Life on Tuesday to celebrate the opening of the SkyLabs after a long period of redevelopment.

Official invite below – all welcome!

The Elucian Islands, home to Nature Publishing Group and Macmillan Publishers warmly invite you to the launch of our newly-developed Skylabs facilities on TUESDAY 9th JUNE at 10am SLT / 6pm UK time / 1pm EST

The SkyLabs are intended to be an area where Second Life users can experiment with ideas, learn building and scripting skills and create their own projects, when they might otherwise not be able to find land to do so. NPG and Macmillan cover a very wide range of topics, and we are interested in hosting projects covering all aspects of science, education and literature. The best of the completed projects can be displayed in the Elucian Islands flagship areas and we hope their creators will be able to showcase work to the existing community. Educators are also welcome to use the land for teaching or demonstration purposes and we hope to build a community which will support those efforts.

At the launch party we’ll have short demos from builders and scripters who have previously contributed content to the Elucian Islands. There’ll be a chance to ask questions, meet other members of the existing community and take up residence in a new lab if you’ve requested one!

If you’d like to attend the launch, have a lab space or use the area for workshops please contact SecondLou Skytower. Ed’s note – or message me, Joanna Wombat / j.scott@nature.com
