On a side note: this is a perfect use case for an opensim-in-a-box (i.e. a cloud based temporary OpenSimulator with prdefined environment).
just wanted to mention it. best, dirk -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] im Auftrag von Elizabeth Lowry Gesendet: Do 29.04.2010 21:25 An: [email protected] Cc: Staff WorldSimTerra Betreff: Re: [Opensim-users] Looking for help reproducing a user study inOpenSim I can't personally run a reproduction of the study with participants I can't meet in person - I'm required to get consent forms from anyone who participates in *my* study. That's why I'm looking for *other* people to run *reproductions* of my study, not for other places for myself to run my study. I don't need my own region, I already have my own grid! - Elizabeth On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 2:45 PM, Ideia Boa <[email protected]> wrote: > On 29-04-2010 8:31, Ideia Boa wrote: > > Hi Elizabeth > > We can build a region free of charge to all volunteers reproduce your > tests, and can also play one or two tests. > For other volunteers, you will have to be you to send invitations. > > The WorldSimTerra is always ready to host all kinds of initiatives for > schools and universities, only that, our time is very short so we can help > more. > > The region will have your name "ELIZABETH", so the volunteers will be easy > to find and may be available on Saturday and Sunday. > The owner of the region will be one of our mentors "Pato Donald", he will > have the ability to handle the server if necessary. > > Regards > Ideia Boa > > www.worldsimterra.com > > > > On 29-04-2010 8:06, Elizabeth Lowry wrote: > > Ideia, > > Ah, then you can reproduce the study? > > If so, that's wonderful!
