Free houses up for grabs!

Accommodation "Waiting List" is opened during OL Rock Night. A transcript of the announcement will be posted here shortly.

Open Life Village will be open to all visitors, but if you are an Open University student, or member of Open University staff, you can apply for a free tenancy in one of the island's 60 houses.

The standard length of residency is 6 months.

We hope you will join our new community, no matter who you are, what you do or how long you've been in Second Life.

It's not every day that 6000m of residential space in Second Life is up for grabs, so get you name down early. Places are limited.

Put your name forward and/or request a copy of the Residency Charter by e-mailing greg@eygus.co.uk

IMPORTANT NOTE: This offer is open to Open University students and staff only. Therefore only e-mails sent from addresses @open.ac.uk (e.g. from FirstClass) will be read; all other mail is automatically deleted.

Structures are observed on OLV. Shortly afterwards a large barrier appears, obstructing the view.

Tutorial

OLV plays host to an OU tutorial this morning. This is NOT going to be a regular occurrence. There are extraordinary reasons for relocating the event at the last minute.
