Hi! My name is Steve Rainwater but most everyone knows me as '''Steevithak''' online. I'm a FLOSS hacker, photographer, robot builder, and maker of random weird things. I'm a long-time member of the Dallas Personal Robotics Group and cofounder of Dallas Makerspace, a hackerspace located in Dallas, TX.

I have a lot of experience with software development, mostly in C and PERL but have used a ton of other languages. Open Simulator is my first brush with C# as I'm not much of a Microsoft fan. Until I get up to speed, I'll probably just experiment on my own OpenSimulator region. In the meantime I do have some experience with MediaWiki (I host and maintain a large MediaWiki site known as [http://camera-wiki.org/ Camera-Wiki]) so I'll try to help with some clean up here while I'm learning more about the OpenSimulator codebase.

Hi! My name is Steve Rainwater but most everyone knows me as Steevithak online. I'm a FLOSS hacker, photographer, robot builder, and maker of random weird things. I'm a long-time member of the Dallas Personal Robotics Group and cofounder of Dallas Makerspace, a hackerspace located in Dallas, TX.

I have a lot of experience with software development, mostly in C and PERL but have used a ton of other languages. Open Simulator is my first brush with C# as I'm not much of a Microsoft fan. Until I get up to speed, I'll probably just experiment on my own OpenSimulator region. In the meantime I do have some experience with MediaWiki (I host and maintain a large MediaWiki site known as Camera-Wiki) so I'll try to help with some clean up here while I'm learning more about the OpenSimulator codebase.

I'm running a little OpenSimulator test region on OSGrid called Steevopolis, feel free to stop by. It's usually running.

[edit] What I'm working on

  • I'm trying to reduce the number orphaned pages in this wiki. It was around 150 pages when I started working on it. If you want to help or see my progress, check out the orphaned pages list.
  • Research Papers - I started a list of OpenSimulator related research papers. For now I'm only including freely-available papers but may add a section for paywalled papers too. Know a paper I haven't included? Please add it!
  • I'm researching the history of OpenSimulator viewers. After all these years, why do we still rely on the Second Life viewer? It seems to be a major constraint on OpenSimulator advancing beyond Second Life.
