Hi all,

Just to introduce myself shortly :

I'm french, 38yo, living in Paris, working as a System Engineer, Database Administrator, ... now working as a Performance Tester ( with LoadRunner ) for a huge "electronic document management" project.

I have been employed by the following companies in France :

• Cerene Services (1995-1998),
• IBM (1998-2000),
• SEMA Group (2000-2002),
• SchlumbergerSema (2002-2004),
• ATOS Origin (2004-now),

I'm playing with OpenSim for more than one year. Initially, I was looking for a free alternative to SecondLife.

Why ?

• I'm not at all interrested in the business side of S/L, and with the new VAT taxes they apply for european citizen, playing S/L is really a luxury.
• I'm very frustrated about the poor S/L performances some days,
• I'm very frustrated about LSL limits,
• I'm also disappointed in some meetings with some players who really had no education at all.

So :

• OpenSim is the best alternative I've found around,
• It's the most dynamic development team I ever found,
• Everybody is working hard ( developing & testing & helping ... ),
• OpenSim is growing so fast, an new functions are added every days.
• The ability to add your own modules is also a "must" :)

I'm not at all a developer ( especially in C# ), but I've started to try to customize some LSL functions to be able to bypass some limits ( for example the 10m limit for rezzing an object - llRezObject ).
