Well, Ezekiel. I dont get the sense of any worry at all. More amusement at the new toy then anything else.

On the marketing bit, I would suggest understanding what we have and finding a way to market it makes a lot of sense.

Hi,

with a heavyweight like Google going 3D chat, you guys seem to be a bit 
worried about the future of OpenSim.

Well, since the technical side of OpenSim is making good progress, it is 
about time to start formulating a marketing strategy.

OpenSim has many advantages over SL (and other VWs):
- land/space cost only hardware-related, no provider fees, no license fees 
(good for startups)
- possibility to create an open network of free grids, not regulated by 
governing bodies
- possibility to create closed, themed grids for roleplay, or corporate 
'intranet' grids
etc. etc.

Of course, OpenSim should not try to be everything at once but should rather 
pick some promising target areas and support them
as best as we can so that there will be some nice showcases to publish.

I would love to participate in a 'marketing team'. The only issue is that 
marketing would need to get a say in the overall development
strategy so that promising target groups would really get the features that 
they need.

Ezekiel
