We've added this to the agenda for our next AvaCon board meeting, and I think that timeline sounds feasible. Most<br>
people are pretty busy with holiday stuff for the next couple months, so starting the serious planning after the New<br>
Year makes sense.<br>
<br>
Will post an update after our meeting to confirm the rest of the AvaCon folks are on board. (I don't anticipate any<br>
issues!)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Thanks Fleep (and everybody else) for their comments.<br>

I was envisioning something very simple, at least for the first year, most preferably held on up to 4 regions of<br>
osgrid. This would be to make it simpler to control and troubleshoot, rather than having to co-ordinate with a<br>
number of people and different grid conditions. I think that it also provides better focus, though of course<br>
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.<br>
This is probably the major technical challenge - I guess the obvious 'normal' thing to do is to meet at the<br>
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<br>
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<br>
having the conference in the last half or quarter of 2013. So next year I will create a Google group and ask<br>
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<br>
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<br>
seemed like<br>
the timing wasn't good for many folks: <a href="http://www.avacon.org/blog/__events/opensim-users-__conference/" target="_blank">http://www.avacon.org/blog/__<u></u>events/opensim-users-__<u></u>conference/</a><br>
<<a href="http://www.avacon.org/blog/events/opensim-users-conference/" target="_blank">http://www.avacon.org/blog/<u></u>events/opensim-users-<u></u>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<br>
I always<br>
love an excuse to go visit other grids!<br>
<br>
