[Opensim-users] Update on OpenSimulator Community Conference 2013

[Fleep Tuque]

Hi Sarge,

The OpenSimulator Community Conference 2013 is a completely independent
event, it is not affiliated with any particular grid or hosted on any one
else's grid.  A conference grid designed specifically for this event has
been created and the conference is being jointly produced by the Overte
Foundation <http://www.overte.org/> and AvaCon, Inc. <http://avacon.org>, a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Anyone interested in the OpenSimulator software is invited to participate
so long as our Code of
Conduct<http://conference.opensimulator.org/2013/about/code-of-conduct/>and
other policies are followed.

Thanks,

- Chris/Fleep

>> We also desperately need more volunteers for the Greeter, Moderator, and

>> forced to pick and choose which sessions to stream.  As a bonus, volunteers
>> get an in-world ticket to the conference, so you can hang out and enjoy the
>> rest of the event after your volunteer shift is over!  Please do sign up to
>> help volunteer if you can, we really appreciate the help:
>> http://conference.opensimulator.org/2013/staff/volunteer-application/

>> Last but not least, the Social Events schedule is starting to get

>> Our many, many thanks to all of you who are already helping with the
>> conference, whether you're load testing, bug fixing, building, speaking,
>> sponsoring, or helping in some other way, this is shaping up to be an
>> awesome event!
>>
>> Thanks and more to come soon as we start finalizing the schedule..
