Rather than simply run the stream on GK Island (which we might still do) we asked the Global Kids group and they decided it might be cool to provide the audio and video stream so residents can host their own gatherings. View public locations here.
If you are interested in hosting the stream, and gathering your friends to watch/listen with you, please send a notecard to Barry Gkid, detailing:
- Your SL name
- The location where you will host it
- How many people you think might attend (just a guess - even two is fine)
- One question you might want to ask (read about the event first before answering)
- Why you would like to host (one sentence will do)
- If you would prefer to be a public location (which we might promote) or if you prefer it to be private (only you will let people know about it beforehand).
A limited number of locations will be selected to host. If you are selected you will be asked to do a number of things:
- Share any public chat log during the event (with the permission of those in attendance, of course)
- At least two photos from the event (emailed to us or available on the web)
- Be available to ask questions during the event - we will pass them to the main grid
That's it! Please get your notecard to Barry Gkid as soon as you can.
