[Opensim-users] Metameets 2012

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Thanks Fleep (and everybody else) for their comments.

I was envisioning something very simple, at least for the first year, most preferably held on up to 4 regions of osgrid. 
  This would be to make it simpler to control and troubleshoot, rather than having to co-ordinate with a number of 
people and different grid conditions.  I think that it also provides better focus, though of course there's no reason 
people couldn't also just go and visit other locations intergrid or hypergrid.

I would also try to squeeze as many avatars in a single voice-enabled location rather than relay to other places.  This 
is probably the major technical challenge - I guess the obvious 'normal' thing to do is to meet at the intersection of 4 
simulators.

I will be leaning very heavily on people like Avacon and yourself, Fleep, for organization since this is far from my 
strong point.  So help will be really appreciated.

My own mental timetable is to start the ball rolling in earnest early next year (probably January) with a view to having 
the conference in the last half or quarter of 2013.  So next year I will create a Google group and ask interested people 
to join so we can start talking further and get volunteers.

Of course, any early suggestions from yourself (or anybody else) are very welcome since people have vastly more 
experience and skill with this kind of stuff than do I!

Best,

Justin
