AWG -
As I reported back in December, Linden Lab has been reviewing and
revising its roadmap for OGP and open virtual worlds in general. I'd
like to share with you our plans for 2009, so you know what to expect,
and know that we are serious about continuing this great work.
The first focus for 2009 will be on writing specification documents.
We are going to spend more time internally preparing specifications
with the goal of releasing very concrete designs each quarter for AWG
review and comment. We believe it is time to evolve the format of
community input and would like the AWG to move to a model more like
other community design processes whereby more complete, fleshed out
proposals are gathered for regular review and comment. My office hours
will be repurposed for this, and we'll change them to being only once
a month, but longer and with pre-published agendas.
The second focus for 2009 will be the IETF. We are going to begin the
process of bringing open virtual world standards under the aegis of
the IETF. We are hoping to organize an initial meeting at the IETF 74
meeting in San Francisco this coming March. We expect these plans to
firm up in the next few weeks.
We believe this plan will enable us to make progress on OGP in 2009.
As always, I'm passionate about the a future of open virtual worlds,
and look forward to the detailed technical work we need to do to get
there. Please come to my next office hours, on Feburary 3rd, 1pm to
2pm, if you'd like to talk about these plans.
Thank you,
- Zero
