Designing Worlds Video - All About DSL

Thanks to Designing Worlds with Saffia Widdershins and Elrik Merlin for producing a great video outlining the support teams and what we do as the Drivers Of Second Life.

"As regular viewers will know, one of the things that Elrik and Saffia love is discovering new places and new things to do in Second Life, and in this episode they find something that they think is really exciting – the group Drivers of Second Life, who organise weekly Grid Drives, employing a vast array of vehicles, not just cars, to discover interesting places across the SL Grid. They use a special, and extremely ingenious, HUD to navigate – and drivers have a great deal of fun!

Drivers of Second Life is a club that hosts weekly explorations of Second Life with HUD-guided tours (and rewards and prizes on offer too!). A project by the team behind the Second Life Cheerleaders Squad and the game Get the Freight Out, Drivers of Second Life is a wonderful way to explore Second Life, using your own vehicles or – sometimes – boats, planes and railway trains (to say the least of it!) supplied by the group.

Saffia and Elrik talk to the prime movers behind SL Drivers, discover how the setup works, and go on a Drive themselves: hold on to your hats!

They talk to Christi Charron, one of the main people behind Drivers of Second Life, who takes them for a test drive, and also to Famously Distracted of Get the Freight Out. And Saffia gets to experiment with a variety of vehicles, showing an unexpected skill at kayaking through ice caves …

This is clearly a show you won’t want to miss!"

For twenty years, Second Life has offered us a virtual space to create, define  and explore. We have come together over the years from a myriad of points scattered across the globe, each bringing a unique combination of experiences and abilities which have shaped this space into a world. Inside that world we have met new friends, discovered new interests, experienced new adventures, and made new memories. This year, we invite you to share those memories with us. The Community Gallery at the Second Life Birthday has been created to showcase the memories we have made in Second Life over the years. The memories that turned a virtual world into a community of Residents.

2023 Spring Camping Was A Success!

In my humble opinion and hearing some other's opinions, this year's Spring Camping weekend was a great success. Thanks to all of you who contributed your time and efforts on making it so. The drives were fun and one included GTFO as well. The trip through the Misty Mountains sims was fantastic! Not only because of the scenery, but also because you had to use a bike or attachable horse to get through the course. See our Equestrian Trails page for the location. 

Here are some pics of the event and you can find more on our Flickr page here: https://www.flickr.com/groups/driversofsl/pool/
