What Second Life means to me

Linden Lab is putting together (but has not yet formally announced) a Second Life promotional video to be shown at this year's Second Life Community Convention (SLCC08) in Tampa Florida, 5-7 September. Linden Lab is looking for up to ten images, and up to 250 words on the topic, with permission for use assigned to Linden Lab and SLCC.

Linden Lab hasn't announced this yet, but we've been watching the development of the announcement on the Second Life wiki for the last couple of days now. We're guessing that the actual proper announcement still has to be crawled over by the PR people with microscopes before they dare show it on the official blog -- but we've got the real meat of it here.


Are you a part of the most widely-known collaborative virtual environment or keeping a close eye on it? Massively's Second Life coverage keeps you in the loop.

Email your submissions to Kathleen Craig (Katt Linden: Katt@lindenlab.com) with the subject "(yourname) What Second Life Means to Me," or email your text and link to your images on Flickr, but please, to qualify for consideration, remember to include the requested Flickr tags and permissions in Flickr and your statement that the work is yours and you grant permission for it to be used for this purpose, which should satisfy all the lawyers in the room, at least. Well, that and that the work has to be original.

Images may alternatively be uploaded to Flickr, and tagged "SecondLife" and "SLCC08_Video" Please remember that for your images to be considered they must also be tagged in Flickr with the Creative Commons permission to "Allow commercial uses of your work" and to "Allow modifications of your work."

Obviously, if enough entries are submitted, not every submission would make the final cut.

Second Life is many things to many people. Those of you who spend your time in Second Life tell us ... what does Second Life mean to you?
