OnRez is a proud sponsor of a new design competition being organized by the Ewing Fashion Agency. Official Rules Here.
The basics:
Designers must enter brand new items in the competition. There are multiple categories. Each category has a unique tag associated with it. Designers wanting to enter the competition must list the item for sale at OnRez (it’s free!) and tag their items with the appropriate tag to let us know that they are entering the item in the competition.
Winners are chosen based on which item generates the most revenue between December 8, 2007 and January 6, 2008. Grand prize is L$100,000 and other benefits. There are also prizes at the category level.
This Thursday we will hold the next Second Life Entrepreneurs Gather. We are going to try to channel the future and discuss SL’s economic outlook for 2008. We will look at some recent statistical trends around Second Life, debate growth prospects for next year, and take the temperature of the attending business folks. If you are a Second Life entrepreneur or just interested in the topic, we welcome your attendance. The event will be at Noon Pacific Time at the OnRez Event Center. The official event notice is here [link].
The next SL Entrepreneurs Gather is happening on the first Thursday of October (i.e. October 4th) at noon PT at the OnRez Event Center. We are lucky enough to have Daniel Terdiman join us as a guest-of-honor. Daniel has just finished writing a book on entrepreneurship in Second Life, which should be coming out in early November. During this Gather, we’ll have a chance to ask him questions about his findings and get an early glimpse into his ideas for best practices.
Daniel Terdiman is a senior writer with CNET News.com who has been covering Second Life since 2003, first for Wired and now for CNET. He writes about the culture of technology, with a special focus on virtual worlds. All told, he has been a professional journalist for 12 years, having written and reported for The New York Times, Time magazine, Wired magazine and Wired News, and many others, and he has a master’s degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. His book, “The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Second Life: Making Money in the Metaverse,” will be published in November by Wiley.
Synopsis: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Second Life will give readers an in-depth look at businesses and other economic opportunities in Second Life, explain the business operations of each, and show readers how to identify, develop, launch, and profit from their own business. Daniel has started a blog for the book here.
Because this will be text-based (thus no stream to syndicate), we’ll move the location slightly downhill from the OnRez Event Center to the sim border so that we can fit the audience in two sims instead of just one. The events listing is here.
P.S. if you want to join the in-world group for announcements, it is called “rockin to the future” and is open enrollment.
Coming Soon: Behind our avatar is the beginnings of the Second Life jewelry exposition [link to website] — an enormous effort organized by Miriel Enfield with as many as 85 jewelry makers participating. We were excited about what she and the community were putting together, and were more than happy to donate the space.
The event is going to run from Sept. 15th to Sept. 22nd, and will be located on the OnRez Orientation sim. More as the event unfolds!
Last Saturday, Calamity Hathaway organized a fashion show at the OnRez stage in Second Life featuring clothing from Simone Stern, hair from Calla (Tigerlily Koi), and shoes from Shiny Things (Fallingwater Cellardoor). Brace Coral did a great job as MC and I hear fun was had by all. I’m hoping for some pictures to post, but in the meantime, I took this post as an excuse to throw my own avatar at the mercy of the shopping gods and have a little fun OnRez style.
