For this event OTTOMH, here is a first cut at things that have to be accomplished:
I will use the headings as an outline to this document: http://www.planet-earth.org/sg07/SMAM07.html where I'll just start blatting information to as I find it. 1. May 1.1 Find/allocate some servers for prototyping. 1.2 Collect together a set of public avatars to use and test them (we want to ensure there are no scripts that would bog a client down and they all basically work). 1.3 Work out a simple protocol for streaming avatar movements over tcp/ip or udp (or both). Since MediaMachines have a demonstrated prototype protocol (SWaMP), implemented on Flux: , that would be a good place to start. 1.4 Choose one or more server software components to test client-server comms and server-server comms. 1.5 Choose some client software to run tests on. 1.6 Run server-server tests and client-server tests. This will be to shake out the various tools / technologies we have to choose from. 1.7 Analysis, planning next month. 1.8 Organise booth(s) at siggraph show floor. My company (Systemic) is putting some money in, what about yours? 1.9 UI for login and avatar selection. 2. June 2.1 First single server-client multiple avatar tests. There will probably be multiple isolated tests like this. 2.2 User interface tests. 2.3 Client interaction tests. 2.4 Second single server-client mass avatar tests. There will probably be multiple isolated tests like this. 2.5 Analysis. 2.6 Planning for July. 3. July 3.1 First serious test of mass avatar collaboration at a selected hour. 3.2 Second serious test of mass avatar collaboration at a selected hour. 3.3 Analysis. 3.4 Planning for the conference. 4. August 4.1 Conference demonstration 5th-8th. 4.2 MUVEW Networking BOF (Thursday 10:30-12:30). Anything else?, regards, chris -- http://www.planet-earth.org http://ping.com.au http://systemic.com.au http://planet-earth.org/Rez/RezIndex.html -- It be a great secret: there be more truth at the centre.
