ConciergeModule
From OpenSimulator
The ConciergeModule is an optional region module that tries to provide "concierge services" for online meetings and events.
Current functionality
it currently
- keeps an attendee list of avatars in a concierged region
- announces to every avatar in a concierged region when a new avatar enters the region or someone leaves the region
- can post the attendee list to an outside broker whenever the attendee list changes
- can send a welcome message to each avatar entering the region
The ConciergeModule can in addition replace OpenSim's normal Chat module and "amplify" speech in a concierged region so that it is "audible" region-wide (whispering will still be range limited).
Planned functionality
We have several ideas on extending ConciergeModule further:
- allow each participant to have meeting notes send by email
- post meeting notes to the broker
- allow "/jeeves please..." style commands (instead of using private channels)
- have an OAR file POSTed capturing the current state of the meeting space
- grant and revoke group membership and permissions (once group and permission system is more evolved)
Configuration
TBD
[Concierge]
enabled = true ; name of the concierge whoami = "Region Say"
; password for updating the welcome message templates via XmlRpc password = test
; regex specifying for which regions concierge service is desired; ; if empty, then for all ;regions = "^MeetingSpace-" regions = ""
; for each region that matches the regions regexp you can provide ; (optionally) a welcome template using format substitution: ; {0} is replaced with the name of the avatar entering the region ; {1} is replaced with the name of the region ; {2} is replaced with the name of the concierge (whoami variable above) welcomes = "/welcome/{0}"
; Concierge can send attendee lists to an event broker whenever an ; avatar enters or leaves a concierged region. the URL is subject ; to format substitution: ; {0} is replaced with the region's name ; {1} is replaced with the region's UUID ;broker = "http://broker.place.com/{1}" ;broker = "http://broker.place.com/{0}"
