AMO: Netsquared Innovation Awards, Food Island Health and Art Bridgebuilding

Hello Friends of Amoration and ManorMeta!

Take a minute before 5PM on Monday at vote for ManorMeta at NetSquared Innovation Awards.  Your support can help us win vital support; if you had trouble voting leave a comment on our page, email Britt Bravo and tell the NetSquared community that you want to see more of ManorMeta!  See more below for details on this innovation award.

It's true...we're moving fast! We've moved offices and virtual spaces.

Our real world offices are located at 5067 W. Washington Blvd, 90016 in the Media Fabricators complex and our new AMO Island in Second Life is our new living learning lab for the virtual world. 

Our Better World Island location became too small for our crystalline sanctuary and we wish our friends at Care.org and the Better World Scouts the best wishes as they build amazing aid and activism efforts inworld. We will continue to be active scouts and offer you AMO Island as a resort alternative for visionary communities in development around the world.

AMO Island is opening next week to the public with many project areas in development including an Integral Commons, a martial arts and meditation center, life science studies on brain and heart, the Amoration Amphitheatre, the Nexus Dance community and brilliant visionary artists. As we build you are welcome to join us; speak with In Kenzo directly regarding skylabs and other spheres at AMO.  Join us for our first workshops on 4/20 at 6PM (Machinima for Educators) or visit all day during the Digital Be-In.

Our Second Life work is growing very fast and in the coming days we'll preview more of our recent Food Island build opening in early May at the national Food FMI Convention in Chicago.  This groundbreaking experience in health and nutrition designed by Amoration team members at the Toyshoppe educates consumers before they hit the stores on how to eat well and enjoy the food around us.

NETSQUARED INNOVATION AWARDS

Thanks to all of you who are voting this week to support amazing innovation efforts! Over the last two years the ManorMeta/Amoration team has worked with over two dozen nonprofit organizations by directly helping these groups grow on the web, with constituents and in the virtual world of Second Life. A handful of the great groups we have worked with are also featured in this award process and we encourage you to get out and vote your passion!

A bit about ManorMeta's new opening on AMO Island in Second Life: we have been busily building a new integrated learning center for many different types of visionary groups to come together and experiment in the 3D collaborative world. Our work is very much in bridgebuilding as we gather a consortium of leaders from all disciplines with a common goal to share stories and solutions for complex world problems. ManorMeta is our living learning lab, but it's also a very complex real world networking system that provides space for innovators to connect. We thank you for giving us this role in your lives and hope you will get out there and vote for some of our partners and friends this week here at NetSquared!

So here's my personal slate for the voting process:

1. ManorMeta (disclaimer, this is Amoration's project)
2. HOOZE and WAGN
3. Global Lives Project
4. Anti-Genocide Community
5. Building a Community of Modern Abolitionists
6. SE Learning Games
7. Games for Change
8. Targeted development for social empowerment
9. SourceTree Commons
10. Grassroots.org toolbox

Amoration partners have worked or supported all of these efforts and can say that these leaders are on the right path! Unfortunately you cannot vote for 20 or more as there are many other great efforts here that deserve shoutouts too. Go to http://www.netsquared.org/projects/vote today and vote for the SL Relay for Life, Avatar Action Center, Info Island and many other amazing virtual world projects too.
