Chilbo is a virtual community established in 2006 in Second Life with over 230 members from 11 countries. The community owns 11 sims across Second Life and provides public facilities, infrastructure, and homes. Governance consists of monthly consensus-based meetings at the Town Hall to discuss community issues and resources. The mixed public and private land model allows flexibility while community facilities and infrastructure are built and maintained on public land.
