I'm known as Doeko Cassidy in Second Life and used to run > SLNN (Second Life News Network) which is no longer around and I own > Crystal Islands, a mid-sized estate there. In RL I'm known as Jules > Vos and I study at the New Business School in Amsterdam. > > I'm currently working as the founder at www.visibuild3d.com, one of > the early real startups based on realXtend/Opensim technology.

Please go > here for more info: http://visibuild3d.com/news/publicalpha/ > > The goals of Visibuild are: > 1) Create a stable and scalable hosting environment for modrex > (partially accomplished) > 2) Contribute one or multiple devs to the development of modrex and > rex-NG > 3) Develop additional tools that will make modrex and rex-NG more > usable for architectural applications > 4) Identify related use cases for this software and promote the use of > modrex/Visibuild in these cases (partially accomplished) > 5) Secure more funding through revenue and/or grants to make all this > happen > > We are currently working on communicating the value of this platform > to the architectural community. We also have some ties with > foundations that fund the open-source movement. Ideally, they would > provide a portion of the funding, however there are currently no > developers (C++/C# & OGRE3d) officially affiliated with Visibuild. > This must be accomplished first to secure funding. Therefore, I'd like > to ask unaffiliated people who are involved currently with developing > modrex or rex-NG and are interested in the concept of Visibuild to > contact me. It may be possible to secure funding this way. > > I'm very interested in hearing your feedback on Visibuild and what we > aim to accomplish.
