OpensimFest 2022 Call to Merchants

Post by Luna Lunaria »

Attention all Opensim Original Creators!

We are now opening slots for new merchants for the upcoming OpensimFest 2022, opening July 8th and remaining open through July 31st. Those who signed up with me last Fall do not have to sign up again to participate. A big shout-out, by the way, to the several Kitely merchants who are already signed up and will represent our grid there!

There will be multiple live performances for 17 of those days to help drive traffic to the event. If you create and market your own items in Opensim, this is an opportunity to increase sales and gain name and brand recognition across the hypergrid. You will have your own plot to place your own store, or you can opt to use a building already made for you to use.

The region will use Gloebits for currency, so you can sell your items, give them away for free, or a mix of both. You can also opt simply to place posters of your products with a link to your main store on Kitely grid or to your store on the Kitely Market where customers can purchase your products using the currency of your choice.

No third party sellers please

The full event goes for 17 days and currently features fifty-five 64x64m exhibitor parcels, twenty-five 64x64m merchant parcels, and ten custom exhibitor and merchant parcels for those that need a large space for display or for interactive vehicles. We will expand those numbers as needed if interest exceeds capacity and additional sponsorship is provided. The theme this year is Medieval / Fantasy, so the field is nearly wide open. Your products are not required to fit the theme of the event.

Many of the slots are already claimed so don't wait to let me know if you would like to participate. You can contact me directly here, in world, or on the OpensimFest Discord. I look forward to working with you!

You can sign up on the OpensimFest Discord here: https://discord.gg/7M6zcxyQ and you can see the full information on the festival here: https://www.opensimfest.com/

Here's the most recent notice from the OpensimFest 2022 admins on our Discord server, which is our main point of communication for all things OSFest:

"We are in the process of bringing the OSFest2022 grid online with the latest NGC code. This is happening one region at a time while we are testing to be sure everything is working. We will let everyone know when it is ready for access and subdivided parcel location choices and group invites for each.

You can also see information on the website here: https://www.opensimfest.com/

For those who want to exhibit or be a merchant (or be notified via email of events), the way we are keeping track and reserving parcels as the grid is built is through a simple free ticket system on our website. If you haven't done so already go to this page and get a ticket!

Looking forward to this event. Quick question... How big of a spot will we be getting to put out our stuff. I feel like I might want to do some practice set ups so I will be ready.
I'm obsessed with Animesh and soon you will be too!

Hi Kimm, Merchant plots will be 64 x 64 sm each, with some more robust parcels for builders of large structures, flying vehicles, and sailing ships

In the next few days, I will provide a link to a new webpage where everyone who has registered can choose their parcels. We are working as fast as we can to get your access to the grid and open registration for those who opt to use local avatars - starter avatars will be provided (HG avatars can be added/invited to your parcel groups). For those planning to use HG avatars only, your organizers will need the complete HG avatar name you are planning to use, e.g. Luna Lunaria@grid.kitely.com:8002. Please note that we cannot invite HG avatars to the parcel groups until you visit the OSFest 2022 grid, so we will need to coordinate times.

It's going to be fun chaos like any family reunion. If we see a need to add more parcels or regions we can do that, but only after we fill our existing capacity. We want to be as flexible as we can, so if you have a special need different than what we have planned, reach out in our Discord server or contact me directly.

For more information, or to register as an Exhibitor, Merchant, Performer, or Sponsor, you can go here: https://www.opensimfest.com/

It's time to select your parcel if you signed up as an Exhibitor or Merchant for OSFest! Parcel assignments for all sponsors and large exhibitors and merchants have been completed for those who made requests (Nyx, Luna, Lain, Trouble, and Modee) so they don't need to choose their parcels. The rest of you can now choose where you want to be on the grid using this webpage. You only need to enter your avatar name (email is optional as that is shown on the page if you enter it). Reference the diagram parcel numbers when you choose your spot. Use this link to select your parcel: https://signupschedule.com/osfest

You can see the grid map in the OSFest Discord at this link: https://media.discordapp.net/attachment ... layout.png

Exhibitors: Choose a parcel from either of the Alchemist Estates.

Merchants: Select your merchant parcel from the Guild Estate.

Exhibitors and Merchants: Larger exhibitors and merchants may select parcels from one of the two Marches Estates. Keep in mind that those larger estates are split into two regions: Chlorine uses Yengine and ubode physics; Quantium uses Xengine and Bulletsim.

Important! It is not too late to sign up as an exhibitor, performer, merchant, sponsor , or volunteer. If you would like to participate in some role, please go here: https://www.opensimfest.com/register
