I thought this was pretty cool... it's a very old snapshot of the city that LL had set up when Second Life opened. From what I understand, it was the welcome area. New players would log in and land here.

I was wondering if anyone else had any more pictures of Linden City gathering dust in their inventories?

Along the same lines.. this looks like a learning center of some kind.

And before someone complains about pictures sizes I deliberately left them huge so people could see the builds in the background well!

Steller has a bunch of them. I think they are even on display at her treehouse in Welsh. Or at least they were.

Yes, i've pestered Steller a few times about that pic, and she gave me several copies, all of which I've lost. I hope she has them set up at her Bean Stalk, I'll have a look.

In the meantime, if anyone else has any, please post them!

Found this interesting:

From: someone

Originally, during the Alpha period, the grid was known as Lindenworld. As we were getting ready to launch the Beta, we decided we needed a name that would convey the expansiveness, involvement and complexity we hoped would characterize this world as it grew. We started by debating the merits of a 'place' name versus a 'descriptive' name. We believed a place name would give people a sense of destination, and possibly some added layer of meaning. And we thought a descriptive name would help people understand this new concept of a shared, 3D collaborative space.

We had a lot of ideas for place names --- one of my favorites was Sansara, which was not only euphonic, but had an interesting meaning in the original Sanskrit, meaning roughly 'ever changing world'. Ultimately, though, we chose to go with a descriptive name, and looked at many derivatives of Terra, Viva, and life. We kept coming back to Life2, and then landed on Second Life as more interesting, more evocative and more what we hoped the world could become as it evolved and grew to be as big as life.

And that's how it came about!"

Does Steller have a treehouse distinct from the beanstalk?
