"This effort is supported by Microsoft and  attributed to the following groups:
www.sldnug.net The .NET Developers  User Group
www.itprosinsl.net TechNet  Virtual User Group"

Is .net the way to go?

"Microsoft also warned today that the era of ''open computing,'' the free exchange of digital information that has defined the personal computer industry, is ending.", New York Times, July 25, 2002 

The hostility of the Opensim  to the GPL and it's embrace of .net do not bode well for the future of the project.

I would love to see more competitions like this! I am excited to see the outcome too - the contest is about visualizing voltage meter reading - who visualizes or uses it the best or most interesting way..

To be honest, I wish I had thought of some of them first, but thats just me. As for .NET, GPL and BSD, OpenSim picked .NET for a number of reasons. It is a given and we see no reason to change. It is elating to see Microsoft-centric and Linux-centric developers working together and I hope this goes on for a long time. The whole GPL notion has to do with tainting the BSD license. Many argue that BSD is a better license as it allows the user to do just about anything they wish with the source of OpenSim. OpenSim has adopted a very conservative approach and does not with to taint the existing license with too many GPL notions which then attach strings to the users of the OpenSim software.
