SchomeBase is our island on the Main Grid, sited alongside the OU island Open Life.
The photos on this page are in response to requests from the teen Schomers to see what we're up to.
If you are doing stuff on SchomeBase then why not tell everyone about it ...

What will SchomeBase have?
nOUbie Welcome Centre
An area where folk who teleport to the island arrive - with orientation stuff, buddy boards, noticeboards telling them about SchomeBase and an events schedule for activities.
Schomebase will take on a momentum of its own, with no one person or group will be controlling everything that happens, so we will have a signpost to this wiki.
Group Meeting Place/Presentation area
We know that if we have lots of people in SecondLife it gets slow or crashes. Therefore our main meeting place is fairly static, without animations, but is a place we can use in different ways. It is easy to landmark, and easy to spot.
This area is also a space where we can do large lectures and showcase things we already have. It could be used for:
- lectures or the starting point for tours of other sites
- renting out for a confererence or to host our own presentations
- presenting some of the resources we already have (in the real world), such as all the recorded lectures from prominent people
Discussion areas
There are several informal discussion areas, with space for one or two to quite a few people:
Map
This will have a plan layout of the island with teleports to all the main points.
Fun Stuff
Things that are entertaining to discover and make you want to come back and look for more.
Suggestion box
A box folk can post a notecard in - which is then automatically emailed to a rw email account (eg schome-sl-help@open.ac.uk - though that doesn't exist yet).
Migrating from SchomeBase to Schome Park
Some tips from the SLEDT list
14-Nov-06
Doing a shopping trip on the MG for equipment before your avatar is transferred over to TG is always a great idea! I recommend assembling a shopping list of everything you think you'll need (an easy way to do this is to browse SLExchange/SLBoutique) and then going out and buying it up.
Any object you buy on MG should transfer with your avatar, though there may be some cases where the item's scripting will not function on TG – but these items usually involve some kind of communications connection to a place/item on MG, so common sense reasoning should tell you in advance whether such an item is likely to work or not on TG if the source that the item 'talks' to does not exist on TG (which is an entirely separate entity from MG). In general, because Teen SL uses the very same client software as adult SL – indeed, if you have both a teen educator and a personal account then you can change grids just by changing your name on the login screen, though your personal account will not be able to interact with your teen one or exchange items bought on MG – what works on MG should work on TG (though Claudia Linden recommends creating items/buildings on TG whenever possible in order to minimize the likelihood of broken scripts).
