Our second stop was a complete change from the first. We jumped to Alternate Metaverse Grid, to explore another side of an Opensim favorite, Tierra de Volcanes, often abbreviated to TdV. The sim is in the top 40 most visited, in the opensimworld classification based on the beacon system, so pretty much all of us had been here before, but the real treat was of course to get the full background story from the person behind the build, Marpil Grafenwalder.

The translator kicked in, such a useful addition to Opensim. It took many hours of hard work scripting and debugging this addition to our inworld experience, and was generously given to the community for free
AMV-T:[es→en]: Hello everyone and welcome back to Tierra de Volcanoes. Last year, during the Safari, we talked about the origins of this region: the islands, the landscapes and the inspiration of the Canary Islands. Today I would like to show you a different facet of this project: how Tierra de Volcanes became a creative store and a playful community space.
