Welcome to the official central resource for information related to Second Life's 5th Birthday! The event is being coordinated by the SL5B Committee, which is made up of Resident Volunteers and Lindens.
New information will be added here as we are able to make it available, to keep our fellow residents of Second Life informed on the progress of our 5th Birthday Event. Information in English is the most updated.

[Updated June 25] We added another new way to look for events happening during the two-week SL5B celebration. If you want an alternative to using in-world search, you view this live calendar that's updated by the exhibitors themselves.

=== Update: Land Listing! : D (June 29th) ===
We've now added and listed ALL of the parcels on the SL5B Estate onto a Wiki Page, into a table so that you can easily look down the table and find an exhibit that you'd like to visit, this may seem a bit late but this will enable people to explore more of what they want to see in Week 2! : D The page can be found here. This was added manually so is you make changes after today on the Estate the page wont update, it's a manual process, please enjoy the rest of the event. ~ Meghan
=== Update: SL5B Places of Interest (June 26th) ===
I've noticed on the Forums that some people are not happy with the fact that not all Plots are listed in Search and that there's no quick guide to find interesting exhibits. So we've made one which can be found here. Not all of the Exhibits will be there, but the ones posted on this forum thread which is created by SL5B Visitors, will be. If your Exhibit isn't listed there and you want it to be please post a reply on that Forum Thread, at present that is where the locations info is coming from for the wiki page mentioned in this update. 
I hope you're all enjoying the event! : D ~ Meghan Dench
=== Update on Events Listing (25th June) ===
If you have an event or will be holding one but can't list it for any reason please email sl5b.events@googlemail.com with the full event details, we'll try our best to have it listed Here. All listing will appear there. To see about getting your parcel listing in Place Search In World please contact a Coordinator. I can't stress to you enough how important it is for exhibitors to email there events to this address asap for it to be listed, I suggest doing it at least 24 hours before the event in order for it to be listed in time.
Other questions on this? email dench.meghan@googlemail.com or see the forums and create a response on one of the STICKY SL5B Threads.
We're sorry for the inconvenience, please enjoy the event! : D ~ Meghan Dench
=== Event has started! (24th June by Meg) ===
The Event has kicked off! We'll be updating Wiki shortly and posting updates here! Have a great time at the Event! : D
=== June 22, 2008 7:45 PM PDT - PLEASE DISSEMINATE): ===
Tomorrow we will be closing the entire estate in the interest of preperation for the launch. The Sims will be down from 7am until 9:45am PDT. Space to attend Philip and M Linden's opening speeches will be incredibly limited. We will be providing external links for residents to listen and/or watch the events remotely from private parcels around the grid. Thanks for understanding. ~ Phaylen Fairchild
=== Latest news (June 22, 2008): ===
Sims have returned to standard Linden time, with the sun rising and setting as expected. The sims will open to the public Monday, June 23, 2008 at 9 am PDT. Have a great time! ~ Shoshana Epsilon
===Latest news (June 16, 2008): ===
This event has grown from one week to two, and some people are confused about how long they will be allowed to exhibit. If you are part of the arts and culture sections, you should be ready to exhibit and start doing your fine tuning on June 20, 2008. The gates open on June 23, 2008. You are welcome to exhibit for the whole two weeks of the event, and we hope you will! Beginning on week 2 (June 30), we will begin to shift focus a bit and add more events and exhibits in the Education, Business Solutions and Nonprofit categories. These folks have an extra week to prepare (until June 27, 2008), and are located on the regions called Edit, Linked, Rotate and Stretched. However, if they can complete their exhibits on time for the opening on June 23, they should! They will get far more visibility on their exhibits if they too can be open for the full two weeks. But no one will pressure them to be ready by June 23, since they are getting a late start. ~ Dusty Linden
