Hi Justin,
thanks for the heads up. The event system I'm currently using allows for
entering a RL adress, which automatically shows the location in google
maps. For in-world meetings it should be trivial to just enter a HGurl /
SLurl in that same field, which will bring people to the spot.
The second idea is rather nice, but I honestly don't know of an easy
solution that can provide that kind of info.
Greetings

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.

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.
