Second Life

Helen Keller Day is dedicated to raising our level of awareness for our fellow Second Life Residents who cope with disabilities. The 13-hour event PDT will be held on Saturday, June 19 at four sims: The Ye, Olde, Supporte, and Faire SLURL. Presentations throughout the day include topics such as enabling deaf or blind users in Second life, a style-enabled fashion show, and accessibility issues and solutions in Second Life. The day will conclude with a "dance till we drop wrap-up party" at Club AccessibleSLURL.

The aim of our annual Unconference is to celebrate the year's discoveries and achievements and welcome SL residents both old and new to share their work... and you are invited to participate! Session could include workshops, presentations, panels or discussions and can be convened at the Islands of jokaydia or at your own location. The unconference is designed to provide opportunities for all experience levels to participate and is an opportunity for sharing, collaboration and exploration! No idea is too big or too small.... add your proposed sessions below!

Govt looking for info for possible funded research on impact of virtual worlds and games.

Thursday, February 25, 2010By justinccHi folks.  Just a brief blog post to remind people to take care when experimenting with Linden Lab's Beta Second Life Viewer 2 with the current OpenSim builds.  I've seen mixed reports of how well it works with OpenSim at the moment (some people seem to suffer a crash almost immediately while others seem to be able to use it to some extent). However, according to John Hurliman the version of the OpenMetaverse library currently being used by OpenSim has a problem dealing with at least one of the new inventory packets in the 2.0 Viewer.  This means that it's not impossible that using the viewer with OpenSim today could inadvertently destroy some of your inventory items.
