[Opensim-users] Metameets 2012

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Hi folks.  Just wanted to let people know about the Metameets 2012 [1] conference.  This is a fun conference that I 
physically attended in both 2010 and 2011 and I'll be going in body again this year.  It's virtual-world/environment 
neutral and the theme this year concentrates on creation in both the physical (3D printing, etc.) and digital worlds 
(virtual worlds, digital creation, novel input methods) and how these can be connected.

I'll be giving a small workshop on setting up OpenSimulator (oriented to ppl who have never heard of it before) where I 
may attempt to hook a region up to osgrid temporarily, network permitting.  I'll also be on a roundtable discussion 
about open-source virtual worlds.

If you're interested in learning more, please also see my blog post [2].

On another note, I think it would be good to have an OpenSimulator conference at some point in OpenSimulator itself, 
maybe next year.  Of course the problems are avatar limits (maybe Intel DSG could help with that) and possible crashing 
(hence would have to be an 'alpha' free conference).  However, I don't think these would stop it from being a really 
valuable thing to do.
