Shop during lunch! Hypergrid Shopping Tour: Where to find content
I'm curious where Lyr Lobo will take us. And if she has taken the time to add some of my suggestions as actual destinations. Then again, @Juno Rowland or I could probably do an even longer specialise "So you've got a Ruth2 v4, and you're looking for clothes, but you don't want to resort to copybotted Second Life stuff" shopping tour. Have this wiki article instead. - 12:30 PM-1:30 PM PST/grid time:
In Conversation: Mal Burns talks with Tish Shute
Okay, that's a filler, but probably an interesting one, also because it takes a look at early OpenSim. - 1:30 PM-2:00 PM PST/grid time:
The Open Metaverse Research Group
Right now, the Open Metaverse Research Group appears to be a bunch of idealistic OpenSim users who want to achieve what industry and cryptobros, both with no knowledge of even OpenSim's existence whatsoever, are working on independently themselves. And it doesn't look like the OMRG has any associates outside the OpenSim community. Not to mention the state their very wiki is in. I hope this panel will convince me otherwise. - 2:00 PM-2:30 PM PST/grid time:
Max – New Free Mesh bodies for OpenSim Avatars
The most exciting panel of the whole event. Ada Radius presents the new "unisex" mesh body she has created this year, Max, that can be turned into a male variant named Maxwell and a female one named Maxine. It's the official successor of Ruth2 and Roth2 now, and just like them, it's free, open-source, legal and made in and for OpenSim by largely the same team. And it promises to provide a much better dev kit. I'll try to apply as a beta-tester, also because I don't want this body to go out there only lab-tested by its own devs. - 2:30 PM-3:00 PM PST/grid time:
A Home for Arcadia Asylum
Another topic dear to Ada, now joined by Kayaker Magic: the creations of Arcadia Asylum/Aley Arai/Lora Lemon/Aley Resident, at least what was successfully rescued and transferred to OpenSim. Kayaker has recently launched an entire grid specialising on Arcadia Asylum, and there'll be a tour through it tomorrow at 10 AM PST/grid time.
