Announcing the 2nd Annual OpenSimulator Community Conference 2014

    June 3, 2014 - AvaCon <http://www.avacon.org/blog/> and the Overte
Foundation <http://www.overte.org/> are pleased to announce the second
annual OpenSimulator Community Conference 2014 (
http://conference.opensimulator.org), to take place virtually on the
OpenSimulator Conference Center grid on November 8-9, 2014. The
OpenSimulator Community Conference is an annual conference that focuses on
the developer and user community surrounding the OpenSimulator
<http://opensimulator.org> software. Organized as a joint production by
AvaCon <http://avacon.org> and the Overte Foundation <http://overte.org>,
the virtual conference features two days of presentations, workshops,
keynote sessions, and social events across diverse sectors of the
OpenSimulator user base.

Based on feedback from last year’s successful conference, this year’s
program includes four tracks to showcase the variety of uses of
OpenSimulator, including Business & Enterprise, Content & Community,
Developers & Open Source, and Research & Education.  In addition, a new
Learning Lab area will be available for hackerspaces, speed builds, and
workshops for hands-on learning experiences guided by experts in the
OpenSimulator community.  The Call for Proposals
<http://conference.opensimulator.org/2014/call-for-proposals/> for all four
tracks and the Learning Lab is now open, and proposals are due July 1, 2014.

Due to the “alpha” nature of the OpenSimulator software, the annual
conference is an experiment in capacity testing for OpenSimulator in
addition to being a community event. Since seats are limited, registration
will open on a first-come-first-served basis on September 15, 2014 until
the maximum number of virtual conference center tickets is reached.  At
that point, community members will still be able to register for the live
streamed version of the conference that will be available for free via
UStream.
