Editor's Notes

  1. Welcome JOKE ??? Please send me any snapshots you may take. I also love friendship offers, and feel free to IM me, although I won’t be attending to such things until after the presentation. Ask for introduction by putting things into chat bar – what is your role in Second Life?
