VeeSome News - Office Hours

Hello all, VeeSome had its first Office Hours meeting yesterday around the campfire in Mentor's Village hosted by our lovely Tessa Harrington.

Below is a summary of the conversation, some very positive things came from the meeting and we want to thank our VeeSome members for attending.

We Are Growing. It appears from those looking at numbers, our growth rate is about 30% which is a very nice number and there is a hidden secret, yes indeed. Tessa hinted at a hidden secret that is being discussed in the oh so secret office about something that will give our content creators even more goodies to play with. That is all the hint we got, we will have to see what hatches out of the oh so secret vault of SpotON3D.


More exciting news, Tessa is in conversation with one of the larger Gorean communities on Second Life to move to VeeSome. Some of you may not know what this is, some of you do and may have positive or negative opinions about it, however, please keep in mind they will have a place that is theirs and you can choose to visit or keep your distance. It means more creators, roleplayers and shoppers as well!


We would like to thank you, our VeeSome community for alerting the SpotON3D staff to some of the difficulties of the VeeSome and SpotON3D websites. They are being redesigned to be more friendly.

We talked about the upcoming MusicaJam and the fact is is delayed because of the website redesign. MusicaJam will be another Grid that will support the music and media creators.   Entertainers will be able to host live concerts and entertainment. Using the cloud server, they will be able to invite up to 100 people to their events. A tip jar or event fee system is in the works, email  invites based on facebook or gmail address books to automate email invitations, and auto relay to all your social media outlets to extend the potential audience.

Remember,  we are here to help, not only do you have official SpotON3D staff but our community who is wonderful about giving a hand. So please don't be afraid to ask.


Sadly, another member of our community was recently very ill treated on another forum by mentioning SpotON3D, please be aware there is competition between grids and as we all know people can be quite cruel, so be careful where you post. We wish the best to our community member who was hurt over this, and we are here for you.


Our mentors are getting a new name, we will be using PathFinders and I really like it.  It seems the word Mentor's has a little negative shadow hanging on it regarding who is in charge. SpotON3D is managed by Tessa Harrington. She takes care of the big picture and the company direction. Our helpers are here to help the community and pass on the philosophy of the vision for SpotON3D and ensure our new residents are aware of the girds rules and more importantly the reasons behind them so they can be better motivated to follow them. 

The Mac client is well under way and few of our members are testing it.  At this time there is no sound or voice ability, but that is being worked on. Thank you for the feedback about the Mac client, keep letting SpotON3D staff know of any bugs you might come across via our Mantis bug reporting site at https://spoton3d.com/mantis/my_view_page.php


We are watching for Furries with Fur, the upcoming furries were discussed and its is in the final stages of the business end before we start seeing the furries in world. So get those brushes and claw trimmers ready, they are almost out of the corral.

And the final bit of news for this issue is SpotON3D is deciding what additional viewers to support, Hippo will soon be add to the approved list of clint as well as one more viewer that is yet to be determined. We tossed around Imprudence so that's in the running.

Thanks for reading and see you in world.
