About Gabe:
Gabe Salgado is Producer at Machinimart, a machinima and virtual world production studio currently based in South Korea. Although his training is in web development and motion graphics editing, he spent 6 years working in education before joining his first virtual world venture. As an educator, he created a series of acclaimed multimedia cultural programs, including “The Sticker Song Curriculum”—the first Jewish curriculum to go viral. He has been involved in virtual world technology since 2007 and has also developed many highly acclaimed programs on the Second Life Teen Grid, reaching students in schools and educational programs around the world. Although his background is multi-faceted, he has kept a single vision which has remained the same: to bring technology and education together in a way that opens up boundless opportunities for those that would otherwise remain outside of the know.

Second Life Down for Emergency Maintenance–RESOLVED

UPDATE: 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.”

You can check the current status here and I will keep folks posted!

The NPSL Management Team’s Meeting

Well, a group of us met today by phone call. There are a few things I took away from today’s meeting.

1) Please, if you want to blog here (even if you have your own blog and want to cross post from there), let me know. Email matthew at dogstar.org and let me know your NPSL username and who you are in the nonprofit commons. I’ll set you up. The more bloggers we have, the better.

2) We still have a ton of volunteer roles available. If you have interest in helping out, check out the NPSL wiki at: http://npsl.wikispaces.com/volunteer_roles and find something you like. Remember, this place is being provided for our use for free.

3) Remember to promote our official launch day! It is on Tuesday, August 14, 2007 at 5:30 p.m. PT/SLT.

I’m really excited by the progress made in tons of our tenant offices. The different decor is well worth traveling around and checking out.

Thanks for your participation and I’m looking forward to seeing you inworld!

Creech/Matthew.
