Second Birthday

History
The consensus is that OpenSim was 'born' on Jan 29 2007, when Darren Guard (MW) made his prototypical c# 3D world server publicly available. Help us celebrate this joyous occasion! Read History for some recap of the early days.
Activities
Here you can add your activity, sorted by starting time GMT. Please supply at least basic information (when it starts, ends, what happens and how to get there). Also, if the activity takes place in a public hypergrid location, feel free to add link-region information so that others can link to your region.
Consider announcing your party on the opensim-users mailing list.

The enthusiasm of the builders did provoke crashes on the land. If this is going to happen again this evening, please consider to use also the IRC channel on freenet (#cyberlandia) or going to web client http://www.cyberlandia.net/index.php?&page=smodul&id=17&btn=17 . When we will find the origin of the inconsistencies and solve the problems (probably posting some mantis), we will reschedule the presentation again.
