Sim land management emergency

A bit dramatic, but accurate. The Future Livingston Campus Creation project needs more space in order to be done at the correct scale. Also, we have an incredibly short build time everything has to be done by the beginning of the week of April 24th If there was a cost effective way to get more land this wouldn't be necessary. Additionally, homesteads cannot be used because the prim count of the buildings we're creating.

Our only option is to use the land of RUCE 5 and the OIRT sims in order to complete the build out properly, to retain consistent scale, and qualitiy. For RUCE 5 we're going to make available Open Sim. We have at least 16 sims in that environment we can use. So for short term projects that need sim space for building, terraforming we'll will help facilitate the use of Rutgers Open Sim for that. We will be able to get another instructor/student RUCE 5 sim, but not immediately. Ron Fest, (Ron Ghostaltar) will be facilitate account creation for that environment.

The OIRT sim has a problem. Group owner ship settings are not set to the land owner or a land group. The best I can do is take photos and video of the sim, and the return the objects to the original owners. This is very unfortunate because of the number of good ideas embodied in the space. I do want to support that effort, but we'll have to work on integrating it into the entire set of sims. If you are an owner of any of the objects in that space let me know ASAP.

I'm sending this note out as wide and far as I can. If anyone has any feedback on this issue. Get it to me by the end of the day Thursday, March 18th, 2010
