Dereos will celebrate its 11th grid anniversary on Saturday, January 31st, with a beach party at Ko Suai. Music will be supplied by the local DJs.
Important: Party language is German, but I expect there to be a translator.

All times are in grid time = PST.

Interesting stuff to see there.
On the one hand, Morning Glory shows a kind of beach house scene, very simple, built entirely from tinted prims with no textures, no transparency or anything. It's kind of reminiscent of screenshots from other virtual worlds. It's cute in a certain way, not to mention easy on your graphics hardware
On the other hand, @Prodyck Theas' display includes a working mirror, thanks to PBR. Of course, this requires dedicated graphics hardware.

Turns out the motto of OSG18B is "beach". I'm completely overdressed now. But I'll let my sister @Juno Rowland know so that she can dress accordingly.

CW: Musings about OSgrid's 18th birthday; CW: long (over 2,000 characters)
I'm really curious about OSgrid's 18th birthday this year. Not so much because this is the first time that an OpenSim grid celebrates its 18th anniversary, but rather because I want to see how many exhibits it'll have.
The last years, it has always been the same. OSgrid set up four varsims with over a dozen parcels for exhibits each year. When the birthday celebrations started, one was usually fully booked, one was partially booked, and the other two were shut down again. Last year already, I think the second sim had something like three parcels in use.
This year will be the first celebration since the Asset Reset. Since OSgrid's asset server went completely haywire, causing loads of people to move to other grids. And since OSgrid as a whole was shut down indefinitely for the asset server to be purged and rebuilt from the ground up which caused even more people to move to other grids.
Let's just say the days of OSgrid being the biggest in anything are over. Even if Hypergrid Business no longer publishes stats, I guess it's clear that the Wolf Territories are number one now.
This also means that OSgrid will probably have even fewer exhibitors this year.
I also wonder if any of the previous events will have an effect on OSG18B. I mean, last OpenSimFest was a half-dud already. The one before had lost exhibitors due to its change of concept, and the last one was cannibalised by the OpenSim World's Fair with its enormous varsim with dozens upon dozens of parcels which was booked almost fully.
On the other hand, we haven't had any longer events in a while, and even the last Hypergrid International Expo which, if I recall correctly, was after World's Fair and OSFest, was chock-full with mostly brand-new booths. But these events were grid-independent, and OSG18B is obviously OSgrid-only.
OSG18B will start on Friday. We'll see then.

CW: A lot will be happening in OpenSim around us in the next week and a half; CW: long (over 1,100 characters)
These will be some busy days for @Juno Rowland and me in OpenSim...
Right now, the @HG Safari is visiting us at Atlas in Dorenas World. About two dozen avatars on a packed standard region of 256x256m. In fact, some have crossed into neighbouring sims, probably without even noticing. It doesn't help that it's night during the whole hour of their visit.
Right afterwards, we're off to the on-going weekly party over on Dereos.
In fact, today is the official 15th anniversary of Dorenas World. It's the only German grid that has ever managed to live for this long, and it's the third-oldest surviving OpenSim grid now. Only OSgrid, the first public grid from 2007, and AnSky Grid are older.
The anniversary will be celebrated from tomorrow on until Sunday. I'll post the schedule later. Just so much: We've finally managed to get @Rogue Galaxy to perform here.
And next week, on January 25th, Dereos will celebrate its 10th anniversary on a sim built for the occasion..

Celebrating a double anniversary in-world at the weekly Rock-House today:
Unofficial of Dorenas World (15 years ago, an early home-hosted instance of my home grid was launched; the official anniversary will be next month).
And Alan Parsons' birthday. So there's a lot of Alan Parsons playing today. (By the way, "grid mama" @Dorena Verne is a big Alan Parsons fan.)

CW: CW: long (almost 1,000 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse beyond Mastodon meta, link to eye contact
OSgrid is celebrating its 17th birthday, and I took the opportunity for a first image post on my (streams) channel, showing two pictures of my in-world sister, @Juno Rowland.
This time, for experimental purposes, I'm going to link directly to the post. I may link to my channel instead next time. I'll have to find a way of notifying Mastodon users of new posts on (streams) without Mastodon generating a preview image without eye contact.
However, as long as nobody on Mastodon is following my (streams) channel, I can't test what Mastodon does with my (streams) posts themselves. (Beware if you want to follow my (streams) channel: It is limited in topic to OpenSim. No Fediverse stuff, no real-life stuff, only OpenSim.)
(Content warning: eye contact)
Happy 17th birthday, OSgrid!

The last minutes of a grid birthday are on-going. A small event for what might be the fourth-oldest still active grid.
Happy 14th anniversary, Dorenas World!

@Holocluck Henly There's the #OSCC (OpenSimulator Community Conference; #OSCC23 in December; official website) which is an annual multiple-day conference with five adjacent expo regions.
Then there's the #HypergridInternationalExpo, #HIE in short (October 7th/8th; official website) which is practically the same for presenters and an audience whose native language is not English. And it doesn't have five standard regions worth of expo, "only" some booths along a path.
Then there's #OpenSimFest. You already know that, I guess. It doesn't have a website AFAIK, but here is a post on #OpenSimWorld.
The nearest major event is #OSG16B, the 16th #GridAnniversary of #OSgrid, the first, oldest and biggest #OpenSim #grid and the one with the most users (July 24th to 30th).
You can be glad that you haven't asked me in February. I would have had to explain #CornflakesWeek to you. -
Come to think of it...
On Wednesday, Wolem Wobbit played a one-hour #VirtualConcert with #CrosbyStillsAndNash songs as part of the #GridAnniversary of #DorenasWorld. As usual, I joined him on stage on the keys, along with the grid owners on bass and drums.
And then #DavidCrosby passed away...

Starting on January 16th, #DorenasWorld will celebrate its 13th #GridAnniversary with six days of events.
13 years are quite an age for an #OpenSimulator grid. And indeed, as far as I know, Dorenas World is the fourth-oldest grid on the #Hypergrid now; only #OSgrid (launched in 2007, shortly after #OpenSim itself), #3rdRockGrid and #Kitely (both launched in 2008) are older. Dorenas World is also the oldest German grid since #Metropolis shut down last summer.
It has become a grid tradition to celebrate the anniversary with almost a week of events, going through at least some of the many event locations Dorenas World has to offer.
While still a WIP and incomplete, the event schedule currently includes five DJ nights, one of them following an in-world winter sports event, and one concert.
I'm probably going to enter the events of the days into my public calendar and publish the schedule itself once it's final. If you decide to come attend them, fair warning ahead: The events will be in German, including spoken comments by the DJs. But most of the people there know English.
