Hi All
Never really took the time to introduce myself and this list has been
very helpful in setting up our OpenSim regions, I know the educators
list (https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators)
are keen on introductions - it's a good idea to see what people are
doing.
So for my part overdue, here goes...
I'm an artist and an academic (in that order) and have migrated over
from Second Life where I've been very active in the arts community.
Most recently doing a residency"
http://www.asquare.org/works/yoshikaze-up-in-the-air-second-life-residency (see
links below for more on what I do).
Interested in extending my practice into OpenSim - the whole Linden
thing just annoys me, too costly and am a big supporter of anything
opensource as I can get my hands dirty so to speak. Very hopeful
about the future of OpenSim, and the approach of a post alpha
version. But I'm also keen to bring my students into OpenSim. I've
set up a four region space, search for:
CCI Sandbox Sim
CCI Gallery Sim
CCI New Media Sim
CCI Moving Image Sim
The regions are ready but we are still working on getting the server
to auto restart when it crashes so bear with us. They already have
open access sandboxs and a gallery (similar to spaces in Second Life
like Art Nation).
There is an ulterior motive for all of this...
What I am a little disappointed about is the lack of overall culture
in OpenSim which is present in Second Life, from my point of view an
arts community, running exhibitions, performances, symposium,
workshops etc. Groups don't seem to be as successful as they are in
Second Life and I've not come across any mailing lists for this -
perhaps I'm totally wrong and somebody can point some out to me?
Any artists on this list who are looking for a culture on OpenSim?
Anyone who wants to start getting initiates together?
Garrett

Hey Garret,
I understand the disappointment in lack of culture, well in truth the
lack of a world at all. Opensim is a bunch of Coalesced servers with
very few actually active grids like Second Life. My company along with a
non profit educational organization is trying to create a grid that wont
exactly mirror secondlife but will provide culture, art, community. we
want to turn the opensim framework into a usable, stable environment
that can then be built up as a grand world much like second life has
been over the past few years.
If you would like to join us in that let me know :) you can always shoot
me an email or check out http://pawzgroup.com or http://atmeeting.com
Regards,
Loralai Aya
