My old grandma used to say "young lad ... get the timing right and communicate right and you can solve the worlds problems" .... well I'm going to add a third to this advice ... and that is "navigation".
 
I thought I'd just mention some of the ways of getting around #SLCF09
 
the old ....
- walking ... everything can be walked to
- flying ... everything can be flown to ... but watch out for that SIM boundary between isi2 and isi3
- teleporting .... there are a few teleporting boards around ... but not many
 
the new
I've set up three new tools to help get around
1) a rope slide ... this goes from the main presentation area down to the welcome area .. the mini island in the middle of the exhibits/booths
 
2) two auto tours
 2.1 Golf Cart on isi3 just over the water from the welcome area ... this goes round all the exhibits on isi3 and returns to the start location
 2.2 Witch's Broom Stick .. leaves the Fair welcome area ... flies around the the exhibits on isi2 and drops the rider off at the main presentation area.
 
For both 2.1 and 2.2 ... they give out public chat messages as they move around .... at the moment they just give out a number.
 
If you would like me to put information about your display in either of these auto tours then let me know
    a) which of the two tours you want the text to go in
    b) which number you want that text to go next to (you'll need to take the ride to find out ... and follow the public chat)
    c) what text you would like to put .... max 120 characters ... can include anything ... e.g. "on the left is .... etc ... can include urls
    d) IM this to me Shamblesguru Voom

.... and while I'm here .... 
 
Burning Man
I see some of you have already started to add your logos to body parts of the #SLCF09 burning man .. brilliant .. which you can see from the welcome area
..... feel free to add more .... maybe even feel free to add accessories (so long as not too many prims please) .... you need your builders tag on to do this.
 
ISTE Speakers Series
This coming Tuesday the ISTE speakers series will be all about the College Fair ... 5:00pm SL time on ISTE Island with
    * Abbey Zenith (Rhonda Trueman) abbe...@gmail.com   
    * Alice Burgess (Beth Kraemer) kra...@email.uky.edu  
    * Shamblesguru Voom (Chris Smith) csm...@csmith.info
 
 
As always .... feel free to forward this information to friends and colleagues .... I'm sure that there are Colleges and Universities out there who still do not know that there is a free opportunity to raise their profile at this event ..... so my grandma was correct ... it's all to do with timing and communication ;-)
 
Hope this is helpful ....
