I like it Vanish, quick off the mark :)
I suspect that what's really need to make this kind of thing successful is
a) A very easy way to get to locations, ideally just clicking on a link as with the linden grid. This is challenging
right now.
b) Real time information as to how many people are actually at an event, and
feedback afterwards, repeat entries, etc.
However, I suspect the 'market' is too small to get something that advanced to take off right now - a simpler forum
might work.

Hi everyone,
I spent most of today creating a new website that aims to be a place for people
to share events, thoughts, discussions,
etc. about OpenSim from all over the hypergrid. Feel free to sign up:

P.S.: Anyone already registered on opensim-creations.com can just use their
username and password for the above site.
Greetings

Hi Garrett. Regarding Hypergrid, I would hesitate to give a timeline. It's a
very complex and evolving architectural
area. However, there is sustained interest in it.
As for event listing, this is something that anybody could do at any time, just
as people in the community have done
stuff such as hypergrid and shopping websites, or even virtual worlds on
demand. The OpenSimulator project really just
concentrates on the core server technology.

Hi Justin
Absolutely agree with both suggestions you made. Is there a timeline somewhere
with some indication of how far off
some of these developments are?
At the moment I think maybe, if people are interested, some sort of working
group should be put together to get
things rolling. Maybe a mailing list parallel to this one would be a quick and
easy way to gauge interest and see how
culture, events could be developed in world.
Garrett

I think getting more people is critical.
This is why I find the Hypergrid idea so interesting. If people from different
installations of OpenSim can just cross
to other installations then every new OpenSim server adds more population to
the whole system (network effect). Things
become more like the web.
At the moment, there are big challenges due to architectural/security
limitations (e.g. having to route everything
through the servers, the 4096 region bug, etc.).
Another idea which I think might help is a website listing events taking place
on different grids or even virtual
environments. Then there's one single place for people to find out where others
might actually be gathering. Then the
challenge becomes easily accessing those spaces.
