 ===== About Freebies ===== ===== About Freebies =====
 +Free items (freebies) were one of the first services that NCI offered to new players. The free items can be seen in this picture (taken on April 24, 2005) when Brace Coral founded NCI at Kuula: [[http://tinyurl.com/fnke7]]\\

 The networked freebie vendor system is owned and operated by NCI/New Citizens Incorporated. Primary Freebie dispensing vendors can be found at all NCI Campus and also at most NCI InfoNodes. This system may also be in use at Linden locations as the request of Linden Lab's community team. If you have any questions, suggestions, or complaints, please contact the NCI Freebie Director (see [[jobs:jobdescs|Jobs]]) via IM. Comments left with Linden Lab personnel may or may not get to us.  The networked freebie vendor system is owned and operated by NCI/New Citizens Incorporated.

 ===== Freebie Box Style Guide ===== ===== Freebie Box Style Guide =====
  
-** Size: ** \\ +Please read the Freebie Box Style Guide for suggestions to assist you in packing the new Freebie
-A standard size 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 meter cube +
-(the default rezzed prim) +
- +
-** Textures:** \\ +
-256 x 256 +
-Set to "Full Bright" +
-No more than two textures per box +
- +
-**Graphics:**\\ +
-Image of contents +

-Brief Description of Contents +
-The word "FREE" +
-Use "Ariel Black" font +
-Font Colors appropriate to background +
-Short blurbs, warnings, etc., as appropriate +
-(Note: The box graphics will also become the freebie graphics in the NCI InfoNodes when that project is done.) +
- +
-**Contents:**\\ +
-Box should contain: +
- - Freebie(s) +
- - Instruction or creator notecards (if applicable) +
- - Creator Landmarks (if applicable) +
- +
- +
-**Naming:**\\ +
-When possible (i.e., not requested otherwise by freebie donor/creator) box should be named in the format of "Freebie Name" in Name field and "Freebie by Creator Name" in Description field +
- +
-**Permissions:**\\ +
-Boxes should be Copy/Modify/Transfer & "Allow Anyone to Copy" +
-Unless other arrangement with creator/donor for more restrictive perms has been made +
- +
-**Scripts:**\\ +
-All scripts handed out as freebies should be set to "not running" or be commented out. +
- +
-**Weapons & Explicit Content:**\\ +
-No NCI freebie box should contain weapons or sexually oriented content.+
  
-**Textures:**\\ +[[freebies:box_style_guide|The Freebie Box Style Guide]]
-Free textures should be confirmed as free with the creators wherever possible. Due to requirements of SL permissions system almost all commerical textures are sold with full permissions. So we have to be careful here. There is no need to go back and confirm existing textures in the freebie section.+
  
-**Archive:**\\ 
-When you place a new freebie, please send me a copy (boxed) for us to archive, so we are not dependent on just one person's inventory.
