Land texture consistency: Members of the Committee are going to experiment with one texture each season for all 6 sims.
=Lilith clarified that this did not mean one texture over all the whole estate but the same set of textures in all regions, but of course the mountains will still have stone while there will be grass on the lower parts.

No concerns. Lilith mentioned that Kate Amdahl has returned as a citizen and welcomed her.

Welcome to the CDS! With special parcel Info
Welcome to the CDS, and thank you for joining us! By owning land in one of our sims, you have become a citizen of the oldest truly democratic community in Second Life, owned and run entirely by its citizens.

One of our members should contact you shortly with membership in our group, and more information about our systems of community and governance. Be sure and visit our website at https://cdsdemocracy.org/. And definitely register for membership in our forum at http://forums.slcds.info.

This particular parcel is Value-Added. This means that the building is provided by the community. You cannot change the building, but in exchange, the building consumes none of the prims that your parcel provides, and they are all available for your use.

Please open and read this notecard for special information about Valued-Added parcels.

Value added Parcels in the CDS
Some parcels in the CDS come with houses which you cannot change. In exchange for that limitation, the houses themselves are anchored off the parcels, so that the prims of the house (also known at Land Impact Units, or LI’s) are not counted among the prims which you pay for. All those prims are available for your use.

Some, but not all, of the Value-Added Parcels have the parcel border in some places inside the house. Here are some instructions about how to manage that.

• LIVING IN A HOME WITH THE PARCEL BORDER INSIDE THE HOUSE
Some homes within the walls of Neufreistadt have areas within the house which are actually OUTSIDE the borders of your parcel. This is due to the crudeness of the parcel border system in SL, where parcel borders cannot follow simple lines, but must adhere to an arbitrary 4-meter grid. Put simply, you cannot place objects outside the borders of your parcel, or they may be returned to you, since this is public land, even though visually they appear to be in your building.

BUT, there is a way to locate some kinds of objects there, by “linking” them to an “anchor” placed on your parcel. This notecard explains how.

• REZZING THE BORDER MARKER
All houses which have borders inside the house will have, in one or more spots within the house, small reddish boxes marked "Parcel Border Rezzor". If you touch this box, a red Border Marker will rez along the exact border of your parcel. You can “Edit” it and more it vertically (the blue arrow) up and down as needed. Do NOT move it sideways. If it gets moved sideways, just touch it to delete it and touch the Parcel Border Rezzor box to rez a new one. Always just TOUCH the red marker to delete it… don’t return it.

• LINKING THE OBJECT OUTSIDE THE BORDER TO SOMETHING INSIDE
Anything to be placed outside of this red border marker will need to be anchored to an object INSIDE the border marker. Rez the object you want to place outside… you may have to rez it inside the border marker. Then figure out which object of yours
[12:50] Tanoujin Milestone: located inside the border, will be the anchor for this new object that will be outside. Edit the new object and slide it to where you want it, but BEFORE LETTING GO, hold down the shift key and click on the anchor object, so they are both highlighted. With them both highlighted, click the “Link” button on the “Edit” panel.

That’s it. The new object looks like its located outside your parcel border, but it’s actually anchored to the anchor object INSIDE your border, and its prims count towards your parcel prim allotment (also called LI’s, Land Impact Units).

• SPECIAL CAUTIONS
Some suggested words of caution. Some objects actually INCREASE their number of prims (or LI’s) when you link them. If you are tight on prims, experiment in a sandbox before linking the objects on your parcel.

Also, some objects with scripts, like chairs or beds, do not perform properly unless they are the “root” prim, and when you link to an anchor, the anchor IS the root prim. As with the previous note, experi
[12:50] Tanoujin Milestone: ment before committing to this arrangement, as you may need to find places WITHIN the parcel borders for your scripted objects.

• GETTING HELP
If you have any trouble with all this, please find an Estate Manager, whose names are listed on the board in the central Platz. They’ll be glad to help.

Motion to approve the above text. Laura 1st, Lyubov 2nd, all in favour, motion carried

8. General Announcements
Lyubov announced her balloon tour is almost ready.
Tanoujin thanked Laura for serving in the 29th RA, this being the last one for the term.

9. Close term
Motion to adjourn at 13:02 SLT Tanoujin 1st, Laura 2nd, all in favour, motion carried.
