Chocolatiere Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I got to attend the presentation by Ebbe Linden today. There were lots of questions answered about SL and the coming platform, and I feel like I have a much clearer understanding of where to focus my efforts in the near term. It's kind of a shame that these sorts of "town halls" aren't held more often. (Or maybe they are and just aren't well publicized like this one was?) I feel like so much confusion could be avoided inworld if there was more direct contact with residents as there was today. It's not just having someone take questions for 90 minutes or so, although that's important too. Even having different Lindens inworld and chatting, as they did before and after the event, helps humanize the company.All in all, it was a nice time. If someone could point me towards some similar educational or cultural events/groups I would appreciate it. I'd love to get involved in some non-roleplay events.

Treasure Ballinger Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 It's nice that you enjoyed Ebbe Linden's talk today. There's a whole calendar of VWBPE events, do you have that? For the remainder of this week. It's an education conference that is annual. Virtual Ability also does IDRAC, (International Disabiltiy Rights Affirmation Conference) annually as well. Last night, Virtual Ability also hosted a panel talk on the movie "Log In 2 Life', which was made a few years back, featuring Stroker (hmmm his last name escapes me, Serpentine?' and our Virtual Ability founder, Gentle Heron. 2 very different people, different lifestyles, both RL and SL; talking about their lives, and how virtual worlds enhances them. Gentle is wheelchair bound, one of my favorite scenes showed her, in RL, driving her wheelchair down the street, with her avatar, Gentle Heron, dancing along in the air behind her. I think that scene will stick in my head forever. The discussion was streamed in live from NYC, where folks in RL watched the movie and talked with the panel, and those of us in the audience, on Virtual Ability Island, in SL. None of this is RP, or gaming in any way, it's just people connecting. Again, glad you enjoyed Ebbe Linden today! Let me know if you need the VWBPE calendar of events.

Derek Torvalar Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 "There was no mistake. The leathery wings, the little horns, the barbed tail—all were there. The most terrible of all legends had come to life, out of the unknown past. Yet now it stood smiling, in ebon majesty, with the sunlight gleaming upon its tremendous body, and with a human child resting trustfully on either arm."

Aethelwine Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 As I read it from secondary sources there is a lot to be excited about, but if they aren't planning for contiguous mainland area at the outset I think that will be a mistake. One of the great things about sl that sets it apart from the competition is the ability to explire mainland by foot and vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medhue Simoni Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'll just mention, that every single virtual world that has focused their tools around MAYA, have run into major problems, besides very few people to actually test their tools properly. The Blender community has always been a big supporter of the SL creators, and it is flat out ridiculous that LL doesn't have a team of dedicated Blender users testing out their new platform. I'm increasingly dissappointed by the lack of communication between the creators in SL and the LL devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treasure Ballinger Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks Medhue, for the YouTube vid with captions. Kinda like a transcript! Still waiting for official responses on my questions re transcripts, although I'm sure it's still too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
