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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>

Hi Justin,<br>
<br>
About a year ago, AvaCon discussed the possibility of
organizing an online Opensim Users Conference, but it
seemed like<br>
the timing wasn't good for many folks: <a

target="_blank">http://www.avacon.org/blog/events/opensim-users-conference/</a>
I'd need to check<br>
with the rest of the Avacon board since we haven't
discussed it in a while, but I'm pretty sure we'd still
be up for<br>
organizing or sponsoring/partnering with others if this
is something the community would like to do.<br>
<br>
Personally I think it's a great idea, I'm sure there are
tons of things we could all learn from each other, and I
always<br>
love an excuse to go visit other grids!<br>
