    Last Thursday, more than 150 Second Life Residents gathered in the studio at the LEA Theatre as Saffia Widdershins and Jo Yardley sat down with Ebbe Linden. We asked Residents to submit their questions ahead of time via the forums, and the Lab Chat production team took to the task of selecting the questions that would be addressed during the show. Ebbe answered the questions on hand, and spent additional time diving into live questions from the audience.
    If you were not able to attend, there are several ways in which you can catch up on what was discussed.
     
    A podcast of the show is available at The Drax Files website. Transcripts of the show are available here courtesy of Inara Pey. Video of the program can be viewed on the as well as on the Lab Chat blog.
    Jo Yardley (left), Ebbe Linden (center - in one of the new standard avatars), and Saffia Widdershins (right) discuss Second Life and Project Sansar at the first session of Lab Chat. Photo taken by Torley Linden.
    We want to thank the Lab Chat production team (Draxtor Despres, Gentle Heron, Marianne McCann, Elrik Merlin, Petlove Petshop, Inara Pey, Arduenn Schwartzmann, Aisling Sinclair, Devin Vaughan, Saffia Widdershins, and Jo Yardley) for all of their work to make  the first ever Lab Chat a great success!
    Keep an eye on this blog for more information about future episodes of Lab Chat and the next call for questions in the forums.
