1. Winter Holiday Village
* Mover class : This community meeting was hosted on position 660N 1973E, where you have a tutorial area about using/creating movers. Bach Zhaa (#360197) explained with VOIP (= with microphone) about the detailed menu for each mover type.
* This third Winter Holiday Village is called "Oscarville": on position 634N 2003E, Darkmatter (#342319) has started to build an impressive town hall with that name. The named is related to a song about a christmas tree called Oscar, a song which you can hear when teleporting to the "new object yard".
* Party area : after the community meeting , you can go to position 614N 1963E? where Maxpoly (#299422) hosted a party on an ice skating area , with dance sequence boards for dancing on the large mover ice sleighs , and there is an area for playing Mind games.
