[Opensim-dev] Auditorium for 500

[Latha Serevi]

In a recent SL event I helped set up, shared video plus a chat relay
between 2-3 locations created the feel of a common location. 

Therefore, my ideal setup for hosting a 500 avatar event would be
a 'simucast' from a stage in a lightly-populated master region,
where the presenters, slides, video, and 3-D demos are located,
plus shared chat among the participants who are seated in
about 25 slave regions.

Bonus points if an auditorium meta-region does this invisibly,
and avatars just have to walk up "on stage" to enter the master region
and be seen by everybody.

This is a situation well worth creating some special-cases for -- this is
a limitation that people come up against every day in SL, and would be
a great selling point for Opensim.
