OpenSim has a number of weekly meetings to discuss parts of the project. All take place on Wright Plaza.

Meetings

Meetings on Wright Plaza serve two purposes. One is the meeting described below. The second, and equally important is as a stress test so we can all see how our sim reliability is functioning at each meeting.

Additionaly, others are welcome to use the conference room on Wright Plaza for any other meetings they wish. This conference room is setup for meetings and the more use of it, the more testing and development is enhanced.

The two html-on-a-prim one each side of the main screen are both controlled from the chat channel and can be used to present arbitrary web pages to enhance a meeting.

Tuesday - Office Hour

This meeting is a general technical meeting for the opensim community. All are welcome to participate, but be forewarned that it is developer focussed, so attention is mostly given to near term development goals of the project, and those that are contributing code to meet those goals.

In general, we tend to follow a fairly simple agenda format for our one hour.

  • First, developers are encouraged bring up any subjects they wish. Helping the developers focus our efforts is #1.
  • Second, testers and users are encouraged to bring up items of community interest that will help development.

At this meeting, anything previously mentioned is fair for discussion for the balance of the meeting. Lets try to keep it moving even at the expense of getting all questions answered as we have a limited time.

Also at this meeting, we should strive to agree on the "recommended" svn version of OpenSim for the next week. After the one hour finishes, it is fair for anyone that wishes to stay around and meet informally as long as they wish.

Up until Tuesday 31st March 2009, this meeting will occur at 1900 GMT/UTC (equivalent to 1200 US Pacific Time and 1500 US Eastern Time).

On Tuesday 31st March 2009 and afterwards these meetings will switch to 1800 GMT/UTC (equivalent to 1100 US Pacific Time and 1400 US Eastern Time).

This switch is occuring to restore the existing meeting times once many European clocks go forward for summer

Thursday - Wiki Hour

This is a general meeting on the quality of the wiki for OpenSim. You don't need to be a coder to be productive part of this meeting. This is about getting anyone together that is interested in making the OpenSim wiki a better source for definitive information on the OpenSim project.

  • Improving clarity on our wiki needs community involvement.
  • Developers add features and we need to help them add documentation.

This meeting always occurs at 19:00 UTC/GMT (see google calendar below) at Wright Plaza.

Saturday - Q&A Hour

This is meeting tries to drive testing on OpenSim. All members of the opensim community are welcome to participate. Through your testing, we create a better project. Also the possibility to get answers of the questions you would have about setting up your own Grid or connect your region to the OSGrid. This meeting is less structured then "Office Hour" and is focused on the users and adopters rather then the developers.

  • First, any announcements by OSGrid admins.
  • Second, any information to share that helps other grids.
  • third, any user or tester subjects that anyone wishes to bring up.

This meeting always occurs at 19:00 UTC/GMT (see google calendar below) at Wright Plaza. After the one hour is finished, anyone is welcome to continue meeting for as long as they wish.
