[13:33] dz ozb: i got  my  Raspberry Pi viewer  working....as long  as i dont  render the  scene
[13:33] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: LOL, Bills chair is hysterical!!
[13:33] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: no do not be sorry, one of our AvaCon team is Dutch, Frans, and I hear the similar dialect
[13:33] Neovo.Geesink @hypergrid.org:8002: :-)
[13:34] dz ozb: I just  loaded Ubuntu MATE  on  a  2007  iMac....    it  boots like a  old dog,  but  runs like a champ
[13:34] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Hello everyone!  *waves* Long time, no see!
[13:35] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002 chuckles
[13:35] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: I juggle between an Alienware PC, my macbook pro, and an imac depending on what I am doing
[13:35] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Love them...
[13:35] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: i pushed Jim McDermott through one last week

[13:41] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Hi Dieter!
[13:42] Unknown UserUMMAU43: Hi Dieter!
[13:42] Douglas Maxwell: SIGs?
[13:42] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: hehe Dieter...too funny
[13:42] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: we have other chairs... that one seems to be reserved *grins*
[13:43] Dieter Heyne: I am cursed, it seems
[13:43] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: love it
[13:43] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: Nope you are the third person, got Jamie and I too!
[13:43] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: no, it will happen to all of us, I think
[13:43] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: see the sign on it
[13:43] dz ozb: wb  Doug M

[13:44] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: sounds great, Steve
[13:45] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: frameworks will be helpful
[13:46] Art.Blue @hypergrid.org:8002: sounds good
[13:46] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: thanks, Steve!
[13:46] Steve LaVigne: I am not hearing Doug
[13:46] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: he's speaking
[13:46] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: he says we need a change for security
[13:46] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: encryption internally or client/server encryption
[13:46] Steve LaVigne: yes we do in big ways
[13:46] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: OTA or off the record speech
[13:47] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: the default inside the  new client
[13:47] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: decisions you want to make to balance how much of a burden on the user advice, how secure, etc
[13:47] IMA Outpost Gamma: Welcome ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002 to IMA Outpost Gamma

Thank You
[13:47] dz ozb: i hear   5x5  DougM
[13:48] Bill's Chair whispers: This is Bill's Chair
[13:48] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: Hi ProfJim, the chair got you too
[13:48] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: its a trap
[13:48] Bill's Chair whispers: This is Bill's Chair
[13:48] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: One of the things I had difficulty with was the publishing of certificates.  My Avast would not let me log into MOSES since Mike had not publised a security certificate.  A simple fix, but needs to take place for the broader community, IMHO.
[13:49] Bill's Chair whispers: This is Bill's Chair
[13:49] Doug Maxwell:  brainstorming session on the boundaries for security
medical sector wants a higher level of security for medical education and training
[13:49] Doug Maxwell:  some want anonymity protected
protections so you can't tell what a source IP is from a client
[13:50] dz ozb: I think the  base level of security  applicable  to all  forms of grid   is  a mechanism  to link  scene objects  to assets  and  a related  license...  thats  the only  way  content  IP  is  going to be  "controllable"  in any way.....
[13:51] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: nod
[13:51] dz ozb: building  a  bigger/better  bridge   next to the  old  wooden footbridge   is   always  a plan....  they can come if they want
[13:51] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: the evolution of a connected set of grids that support everyone's needs will be work *grins*
[13:53] IMA Outpost Gamma: Welcome Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002 to IMA Outpost Gamma
Lot's of stuff here.
Please Give it time to rez.
Thank You
[13:53] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: yes
[13:54] dz ozb: i think the   baby step in that direction  is  maintaining a level of  content   "compatability"...  realistically,   the   new  web  viewer  protocols   will prevent  staying in one  viewer   to visiit  grids based on the  old   OpenSim  core   platform
[13:54] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: welcome back, Steve!
[13:54] IMA Outpost Gamma: Welcome ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002 to IMA Outpost Gamma

Thank You
[13:54] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Steve, we've been talking about security and opensim, finding a stable pathway yet a connected world
[13:56] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: LSL must die a horibble fiery nuclear death.
[13:56] Steve Franklin: Thank you! And Huzzah to Marcus!
[13:56] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: aww *laughs*
[13:57] Neovo.Geesink @hypergrid.org:8002: LLScript is'nt even 100% compatible with Opensim... I had a MediaPanel on SL which I had to debug and alter to get it working in OpenSim.
[13:57] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: is there a list somewhere of the working groups .. for those of us traying to jump in to what you have all been meeting on recently
[13:57] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: Philip Rosedale's HiFidelity is using J++ as the standard, vice LSL
[13:57] dz ozb: a standardized  API connection to  scene / physics events   would  make  any labguage  "functional

[13:58] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: you sound great
[13:58] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: hehe
[13:58] Art.Blue @hypergrid.org:8002: yes good
[13:58] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: Firestorm works
[13:58] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: there is Joyce, looking for link for you
[13:58] Art.Blue @hypergrid.org:8002: all vioces good
[13:58] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: http://infinitemetaverse.com/en/member-projects/working-groups
[13:58] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: ty Marcus
[13:58] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: I'm still using Phoenix in Firestorm, Steve. I understand
[13:59] Neovo.Geesink @hypergrid.org:8002: So am I... :-)
[13:59] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: thank you Marcus
[13:59] Neovo.Geesink @hypergrid.org:8002: I Love Singu, but Hate the V2 and V3 viewers.
[13:59] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: I was a HF Alpha, but haven't been in it in a while
[13:59] dz ozb: the   high  fidelity beta  is   am  "experience"
[14:00] Vinhold Starbrook: In FS you can select viewer UI you like.
[14:00] dz ozb: but  my expereince  is that the  Bandwith  requirements  are  "extreme"
[14:00] Vinhold Starbrook: yes
[14:00] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: listened to philip's recent talk, thanks to Joey *grins*
[14:01] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Yes, space, too
[14:01] Unknown UserUMMAU43: FYI here are the IMA working groups: http://infinitemetaverse.com/en/member-projects/working-groups
[14:01] dz ozb: The  business model is one   we  should  examine  carefully  though......   a  central  organization,   but the  grid is  hosted/carried  by the   user  community
[14:01] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: still pioneering
[14:01] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: i had to reinstall several times in one day
[14:02] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: yes
[14:02] dz ozb: I think   that  if  we model the  IMA  as  our  "central authority"    we  could  benefit  from the  distributed   designs  they are implementing
[14:02] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: Philip Rosedale@highfidelity = Steve Jobs@Next
[14:02] Douglas Maxwell: SA Photonics
[14:02] Steve Franklin: yes there needs to be one central place to work out the craziness
[14:03] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: plus the leap motion
[14:03] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: hav a bunch of gear that needs updating
[14:03] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: for interaction and motion capture
[14:03] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: gesture interaction
[14:03] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: i have  a 3D TV *grins*
[14:03] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: but I may not be normal
[14:03] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: active leneses, too *laughs*
[14:03] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: We need an Hdeck in the real world
[14:03] Steve Franklin: I have one but never use it that way
[14:04] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: true, Jim
[14:04] Brian Rutherford: People prefer to multi-task. VR requires your full attention and that's a tough sell.
[14:04] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: and it is coming
[14:04] dz ozb: the  takeup  of the  headsets  is  going to be  a  HUGE   and  growing demand   for   3d  content....    If  you can get ahead  of  a standard  mechanism to commoditoze   and  deliver  a  "library" of  content    you will be in a very good place
[14:04] Steve Franklin: yes exactly
[14:04] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: Projected Holograms ---or augmented reality
[14:05] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: agree with that
[14:05] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Love this, but need to save up... full motion capture suits https://www.rokoko.com/en/
[14:05] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: Exactly!
[14:05] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: so true, tho i'd wear this one
[14:05] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: Doug that is true
[14:05] IMA Outpost Gamma: Welcome Mike.Lorrey @grid.kitely.com:8002 to IMA Outpost Gamma

[14:05] Steve Franklin: yes
[14:05] Steve Franklin: We still have our meat suits!
[14:05] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: mobile motion capture *drools*
[14:05] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: That Rokoko suit looks absolutrely fabulous.

[14:05] Mike.Lorrey @grid.kitely.com:8002: Heya Bill
[14:05] Neovo.Geesink @hypergrid.org:8002: For me for instance, 3D is absolutely unworkable due to my visual impairment.
[14:05] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002 wipes the drool off of Marcus's suit
[14:05] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: lol
[14:06] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: E-systems had a great room using polarized lenses like Avatar used but in 1996
[14:06] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: What they could do was amazing
[14:06] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: I've been looking for affordable MoCap for eons. I just can't animate from scratch... don't have the knack.
[14:06] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: i have that problem, Neovo... vision issues... my oculus sits as a result, but some support visual aids
[14:06] Steve Franklin: Welcome Bill!
[14:06] dz ozb: its  the man who owns the  chair....  wb  Bill
[14:06] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: surprising, Marcus, considering you create video with blender. You've used Daz, I take it?
[14:06] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: I sat in a totally visually accurate car
[14:07] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: well one of your cars Doug, dont you also have a sportier one
[14:07] Douglas Maxwell: well, I'm a weak man Joyce.  I have 4
[14:07] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: hehe
[14:07] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: right
[14:07] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: it is exhausting
[14:07] Steve Franklin: I won't get into the car thing right now here!
[14:07] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: right
[14:08] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002 smiles and nods
[14:08] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: Build the interface into every home
[14:08] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: I have, but I found Daz cumbersome. The video animation I've done in blender is much simpler... simply moving a camera just involves keyframes with bezier curves.
[14:08] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: Mental exhaustion
[14:08] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: hehe, the fact that you know that sounds like you have mastered a few challenges
[14:08] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: ha Doug, I knew there were at least 2
[14:08] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: keyframes in avastar, too
[14:09] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: right
[14:09] Douglas Maxwell: it is mentally challenging to constantly be compensating for aggregated errors in the presentation
[14:10] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: Tech is converging
[14:10] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: I just suck at animation. LOL! Even with a nice IK rig, I just don't produce ones that looks natural. So MoCap is appealing.
[14:10] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: That part is apparent
[14:10] IMA Outpost Gamma: Welcome Rosa.Alekseev @grid.kitely.com:8002 to IMA Outpost Gamma

Thank You
[14:10] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: prior to 1995, 45% of the subjects who used  expensive, well-designed (for the time) head-mounted stereoscopic  display devices had motion sickness, nausea or extreme side effects, and for up to 24 hours later  We've gotten much better, but visual comfort, user comfort and the desire to get beyond the wearable remains
[14:11] Steve Franklin: Welcome Rosa!
[14:11] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Hi Rosa!
[14:11] ProfJim.Merlin @grid.kitely.com:8002: Cyn--exactly

[14:11] Rosa.Alekseev @grid.kitely.com:8002: Hi Lyr
[14:11] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: Hi Rosa!  Interesting Cyn, 24 hour sideeffect, yikes
[14:11] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002 smiles and waves
[14:11] Rosa.Alekseev @grid.kitely.com:8002: hi all good evening
[14:11] Rosa.Alekseev @grid.kitely.com:8002: heya SG:-*
[14:12] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: yes, when I was working on my Institutional review board application, a legal team needed a year to review it before approval
[14:12] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: was hard... we've gotten much better, but aren't there yet
[14:12] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: i was a little shocked at the cross-eyed lack of focus common in some of the recent HMDs.
[14:13] dz ozb: I think one of the reasons  I enjoyed  working  with MOSES  was  that there  was  more than a whiff  of "engineering"  involved in  directing  the  project.....     HF  reminds  me  too much of the OpenSim  Core  group.....where   people  are  ALWAYS  going to go in thier  own  direction   and  "see what  sticks"....  but   some degree of  Planning   and  posting  a  "roadmap"  is   way  more  productive....
[14:13] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: but glad to hear that they feel that they have an answer to it
[14:13] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: address it
[14:14] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: HF is leveraging crowd sourcing of ideas and content, evaluation and testing... it is a nice approach, but at some point, you need a stable service to sustain a world
[14:14] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: that was a great talk
[14:16] Unknown UserUMMAU43: Ah yes, https://improbable.io/
[14:16] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002 simles
[14:17] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: there are also several others creating association / standards type groups in the metaverse including the Virtual World Society http://virtualworldsociety.org and the Immersive Technology Alliance https://ita3d.com/
[14:17] Art.Blue @hypergrid.org:8002: i support this
[14:18] Vinhold.Starbrook @hypergrid.org:8002: Right now SL is the primary source of viewer development coordination.
[14:18] Unknown UserUMMAU43: Good to know Joyce, IMA had a representative from VW Society recently. I had not heard of ITA3d
[14:19] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: any  viewer  compatable  with   the  present  server   is  going to be  a limitation  that  cannot  be   dragged into the  "new  world"    the  HTML/web client   with  a  protocal redesign   is   the  ONLY way to overcome  a  HUGE number of  IP limitations
[14:19] Unknown UserUMMAU43: Slidewave: https://www.slidewave.com/
[14:19] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: The  Core   Opensim  group is  going to have  NO reason  to re-design on the scale  required  to accomodate  new  protocols
[14:20] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: the thing I tried to inject was: HF/io is using J++ as their standard vice LSL; so perhaps using a more widely accepted industry standard like J++ is the right direction for developing that "standard viewer"
[14:21] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: I agree with Marcus, we need an industry standard on the viewer sided as well.
[14:21] Unknown UserUMMAU43: Fleep (Chris Collins) is a chair of the Internet 2 Research network for the Metaverse Working Group VR-AR
[14:21] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: yes, and when we began talking to ITA, we talked with them on having a Metaverse working group with them too
[14:21] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: the  protocalls  HAVE to change
[14:21] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: yes
[14:21] Bill Blight: The other problem, from the public community viewpoint, is comfort .. The "Public" is comfortable, with the type of viewer we use, even in it's many flavors ..  If you change it too much you loosed the comfort factor.  And regardless of all the important things that the industry may need without public acceptance you again have solved half the problem.
[14:22] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: and yes, look at the Internet Society (ISOC) too
[14:22] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: totally agree Doug
[14:23] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: thats  a point that isnt   undestood   well
[14:23] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: lol.. we dont have virtual bar peanuts sadly
[14:23] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: ;)
[14:23] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: the  server  HAS to be modularlized   and that is  going to PREVENT using a modern viewer  with the  existing  SL/Opensim  based  platforms
[14:24] Mike.Lorrey @grid.kitely.com:8002: Not just compatibility with the viewer, but compatibility with content, as so much content here is ported over by content creators who have established skillsets and inventory of content that is a significant investment.
[14:24] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Exactly
[14:24] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: This is why I think Phil Rosedale is being bold in trying something "entirely different" ... If he is successful in launching HF, then that will be an alternative platform (with 3D I/O) to consider investing in.
[14:25] Mike.Lorrey @grid.kitely.com:8002: having to rewrite every single script is a huge barrier to bootstrapping the virtual economy.
[14:25] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002 high fives Marcus
[14:25] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Marcus: The viewer is open source like Android is open source... *grins*
[14:26] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: it  is  also  VITAL  to expanding  the  DSG  servers
[14:26] IMA Outpost Gamma: Welcome Gavin.Hird
Gavin is a Kokua (formerly Imprudence) viewer developer
[14:26] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Hi Gavin! *waves*
[14:27] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Hi Gavin! Welcome!
[14:27] Selby.Evans @grid.kitely.com:8002: hi Gavin
[14:27] Bill Blight: Thanks for coming on short notice Gavin
[14:28] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: Hi Gavin!
[14:28] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: Hi everyone
[14:28] Bill Blight: I think one of the most desired features is floating windows that can be floated outside the main viewport
[14:29] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: +1 Bill
[14:29] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: I think   a lot of folks  here  may not be  familiar  with the  MOSES roadmap  that  drops  SL/Core  comapatbility
[14:29] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: *smiles* we will provide an update on the MOSES Web-based viewer dev soon
[14:30] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: I think that a ton of people outside of MOSES are ineterested in the progess of the web client, but haven't heard/seen much about it.
[14:30] Bill Blight: I guess Gavin could not stay ...
[14:30] Mal.Burns @login.greatcanadiangrid.ca:8002: are you hearing voice Gavin?
[14:30] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: yes I want to put out an article on that
[14:30] Bill Blight: it is late for him
[14:30] Douglas.Maxwell @hypergrid.org:8002: I took a beating last fall with the Open Sim community, so we went silent for a while
[14:31] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: user interface design, yes
[14:31] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Use cases are an excellent place to map needs
[14:31] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: we need to be  clear  that the  "web viewer" is  intended to be  used  with the  new  halcyon based  server  design   and that   it is  NOT intended  to  support  access to any grid that exists  today
[14:32] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Doug M is referring to VBS3 https://bisimulations.com/virtual-battlespace-3
[14:32] Selby.Evans @grid.kitely.com:8002: Looking forward to update on web client -- I have lots of info on Dieter's operational web-world.
[14:32] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: and info from Crista's site on the OnLook viewer and some of this concepts we are talking on http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/opensim/onlook-viewer/
[14:33] IMA Outpost Gamma: Welcome Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002 to IMA Outpost Gamma
Lot's of stuff here.
Please Give it time to rez.
Thank You
[14:33] Bill Blight: Welcome back Gavin
[14:34] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: TY
[14:34] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: thanks  DougM
[14:34] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: take care, Doug!  thanks!
[14:34] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Thanks Doug!
[14:34] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: Ty Doug, tc
[14:34] Selby.Evans @grid.kitely.com:8002: thanks Doug
[14:34] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Hi Gavin!
[14:34] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Great to see you!
[14:35] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002 nods
[14:35] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: Yes
[14:35] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: maybe  ask in local chat?
[14:35] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: in case hhe isnt
[14:35] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Welcome *grins*
[14:35] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: I'm not sure what was last said is correct
[14:35] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: good point...
[14:35] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: so going forward, there is some compatibility or?
[14:35] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: Hi Gavin, please share your thoughts
[14:35] Bill Blight: About SL removing legacy code?
[14:36] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: The issue about compatibility with the Linden code has to do with their infrastructure and not content as such
[14:36] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002 nods
[14:37] Bill Blight: Do it is connector code not content code that has had a major change?
[14:37] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Marcus & Joyce, is that ASU or UofAZ? for the Compugirls?
[14:37] Bill Blight: *So
[14:37] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: https://cgest.asu.edu/compugirls
[14:37] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Thanks!
[14:38] Selby.Evans @grid.kitely.com:8002: I have to go --- very useful discussion
[14:38] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: bye Selby!
[14:38] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Bye Selby!
[14:38] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: Bye Selby!
[14:39] Rosa.Alekseev @grid.kitely.com:8002: Selby ni ni
[14:40] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002 drops a pin. :D
[14:40] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: :)
[14:41] Vinhold.Starbrook @hypergrid.org:8002: Making very nice avatars is not easy and takes either making or buying excellent parts to assemble them. If you dont have good parts, you less than good results.
[14:41] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: dropping for me too
[14:41] Art.Blue @hypergrid.org:8002: is any one specking now in the background?
[14:42] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: beware Vivox will make some major changes to their client and server software
[14:42] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: so all of OpenSim risk loosing voice
[14:42] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Oh soon Gavin?
[14:43] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: The current server software has gaping holes in it
[14:43] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: sercurity wise
[14:43] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: so they are completely changing the code for the SL videwer
[14:43] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: and the new code will NOT work on Linux
[14:44] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: and all old viewers will not work
[14:44] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: For class, it sure is helpful tho
[14:44] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: imagine typing everything and trying to be super fast while demonstrating how to design, build, etc. in a class of 20+ folks
[14:44] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: (takes me back to 2005!
[14:45] Aimee.Weber @hypergrid.org:8002: aloha folks!
[14:45] Jamie.Jordan @grid.kitely.com:8002: havw a great weekend everybody
[14:45] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: I type fast, but the cognitive load when in dynamic sessions would be hard to do by text
[14:45] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: bye Aimee
[14:45] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: have a great weekend, Jamie!
[14:45] Rosa.Alekseev @grid.kitely.com:8002: tk Jamie
[14:45] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Aloha! *grins*
[14:46] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: depending on  voice  is a real problem  if you need to accomodate "alter-abled"  members of the community....      the only  "solution"  is  something  that  does  TTS  and  STT  for those who require it.
[14:46] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Good to know
[14:46] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: the  cloud solutions  are coming  soon
[14:47] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Yes that is part of what IMA is needing to deal with
[14:47] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: surprising
[14:47] Bill Blight: doesn't radegast offer a TTS plugin
[14:47] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: there havent  been  any  voices in the  developers  circles   pushing it
[14:48] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: IMA  HAS to be the  organization the  pushes  "useability issues"  across the  platforms
[14:48] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: IMA  HAS to be the  organization the  pushes  "useability issues"  across the  platforms
[14:48] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Sounds to me like it is happy hour time! Either that or more coffee is needed *smiles*
[14:48] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: sorry I lost voice
[14:48] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Steve is talking about Speech to text, Evan
[14:48] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: and how we need it...
[14:49] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: discussing YouTube and a Ted talk by a lady who was deaf
[14:49] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: and did research for people with disabilities...talked about a potato slicer... big handle, really comfortable
[14:49] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: the best she had... same concept for thinking about usability
[14:49] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: easy and granular
[14:49] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: basic  business  requirements....   YOU HAVE to be able to produce  a transcript  of  ANY legal  proceedings....      IUnless  you plan  to record  all audio  ....     Voice  NEEDS to be   translated  and  correcteable  idf  people are going to do business on the platform
[14:49] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Barbara is speaking next...can you hear her?
[14:49] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: yes!
[14:50] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: 3D printing and the 3D prosthetic arms
[14:50] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: less expensive, for particular users with particular needs
[14:50] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Evan, can you hear? *smiles*
[14:51] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: a design challenge that we could come up with (barbara says)
[14:51] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: and Steve's problem with firestorm for usability issues
[14:51] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: IT isnt  a disability issue
[14:51] Bill Blight: I would have to say, I am all for adding or creating specific support for particular disabilities .. But on that note, you have to do it with out creating a heavier load for the people that don't need those features ... It is very difficult to give to one without taking from the others ...
[14:51] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: We all have our own "disabilities" not necessarily offical or formal ones, but unique to us
[14:51] Vinhold.Starbrook @hypergrid.org:8002: Firestorm can be customized in how you like it. At least in the V% mode.
[14:51] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: its  a basic need  for a business platform
[14:51] Vinhold.Starbrook @hypergrid.org:8002: V5
[14:51] Joyce.Bettencourt @grid.avacon.org:8002: I encourage you to reach out to Gentle Heron / Virtual Ability to look for whatever resources, insight, and research of Universal Design Principals
[14:51] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: I think that he means preferences, Dz
[14:52] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: our unique way of using the viewer
[14:52] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: and sharing this experience
[14:52] Bill Blight: FS5 , umm my text is HUGE
[14:52] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: mine is too
[14:52] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: Steve's on a tiny mac *teases*
[14:52] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: there is  NO REASON for it to be a module...  IT is a basic requiremnt
[14:52] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Gentle is on our Advisory board
[14:52] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: *dodges an elbow*
[14:52] Bill Blight: and he is on that SINGLE viewer ...  :P
[14:53] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Hey at least the audio works here!
[14:53] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Bill's point is very valid that accommodating some should not impede others.
[14:53] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: How much efffort are you guys willing to invest in getting the "ideal" viewer?
[14:54] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: if you want to be a business platform...   you have to be able to provide  a transcript....      it  shouldnt  require  a HUGE process   to produce  Proceedings  of  conferences....   or even  a   working meeting....
[14:54] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: which is?
[14:54] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: such a good question, Gavin
[14:55] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: In my estimage to rewrite a viewer completely to work on iOS, the effort is about 10 manyears
[14:55] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: and that is the effort you need to invest to get a new modular viewer
[14:56] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: yes I think you are right. If we can get ten people working on it it will only take a year
[14:56] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: the   MOSES  direction for   viewer  development  is  HTML5....   they do NOT plan  to 'port'  any existing  viewer  code
[14:56] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: yes that viewer has nothing in common with any viewer out out now
[14:56] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: Yiu HAVE to port existing viewer code unless ylou want to redo all content
[14:57] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: yes
[14:57] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: it is not possible to recreate the content without using the currrent viewer code
[14:57] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: they arent planning  for  full content  comapatability
[14:57] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: We may be able to have some UCF-UC Irvine NSF grants
[14:57] IMA Outpost Gamma: Welcome Rosa.Alekseev @grid.kitely.com:8002 to IMA Outpost Gamma
Lot's of stuff here.
Please Give it time to rez.
Thank You
[14:57] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: even getting some of it up you have to sue the current code
[14:57] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: they have  a   Content  transfer "process"   to convert  existing  scenes  into the  new  formats
[14:58] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: primitives, anumations, mesh, skeleton, avatar, morph targets, skinning system
[14:58] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: system clothes
[14:58] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: I think we need both approaches
[14:59] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: That is  the  current  roadmap of  MOSES...   they are  not  implementing in-world  building  capabilites in the  new  viewer
[14:59] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Students need to make and model stuff to become adaptable thinkers
[14:59] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: if you don't want content compatibility you can just start fresh with something like wifi
[14:59] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: some rudimentary way of modeling our ideas and for students to create projects, for game designs, etc.
[14:59] Vinhold.Starbrook @hypergrid.org:8002: yes, that is the one factor that made SL popular was the easy way to make content.
[14:59] Bill Blight: Yeah I don't think IMA as a whole should favor ANY specific fork as a whole, but each WG could support whatever they want ...  IMA kind of needs to be Virtual World Agnostic , correct me if I am wrong
[15:00] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: MOSES   has  started  fresh   and  removed  95% of the  viewer required  code from the  scene  server
[15:00] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: I agree with that completely
[15:00] Vinhold.Starbrook @hypergrid.org:8002: I agee with Bill.
[15:01] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Building crudely is a great education approach and professional mesh builds are great for training
[15:01] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: I think the  first step for IMA  should  be  as a   "curator"  of  a  library of content  that they provide to multiple platforms...
[15:01] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Yes, good plan!
[15:01] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: What I agreed with is bill above on VW agnostic
[15:02] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: for the  current  "flavor"  grids....    you could  provide an assett server  where content  appears in a library  folder....   and provided/licensed  to grid owners
[15:02] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: that is an idea
[15:03] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: that decision has already been made   in the  MOSES  community
[15:03] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: FYI- getting back to the accessibility topic- in the US, this org has the lead on interfaces http://trace.umd.edu/itrerc
[15:03] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: who is your target audience?
[15:03] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: cause if you don't want to take advantage of current content, you'd better start with a much mor modern technical platform
[15:04] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: For viewer design Gavin?
[15:04] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: Gavin, that's a real plate of spaghetti. We have acedemics and researchers, militarym education, social experiences... these all have different needs, tools, and UIs.
[15:04] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Marcus said what i was going to say
[15:05] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: @ Gavin..  that  project has already been started...   the  MOSES  halcyon  platform  is  MOST likely  to be  rebuilt from scratch   as a native linux app
[15:05] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Sounds like authoring tool with decision support that relies on connected assets Mark
[15:06] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: Yes, with an existing library of decent basic content for getting started
[15:06] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: yes
[15:06] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: I think of that as part of a toolkit
[15:06] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Start a Working group! Or join one!
[15:06] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: the  platform is designed to support  a  "static"  scene   with interactive  objects
[15:07] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: Ask for a  demo....  MOSES  has a working  prototype
[15:07] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: and the pace of change has increased significantly over the last 2 years
[15:07] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: I have not seen that yet
[15:07] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Been wanting to see that
[15:07] Mike.Lorrey @grid.kitely.com:8002: is the simplified viewer Doug was talking about with 6 buttons available to the public?
[15:08] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Not yet that I know of
[15:08] Bill Blight: The problem with any of the forks, in my personal opinion is  , while they may work for their niche business models, it is going to be very hard to get public acceptance if it is too far gone from existing platforms ...
[15:08] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: I beleive  the  viewr  DougM  was talking about  was a derivative  of Christas   viewer...  they just  "turned off"  the  menus  and  added a HUD to all the  pre-created" avatars
[15:08] Mike.Lorrey @grid.kitely.com:8002: I think that number is based solely on those who sell on marketplace. I created tons of content in SL but never sold on marketplace.
[15:09] Bill Blight: (and if people don't know I am the community focused , public use person here)
[15:09] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: yes statistics are sometimes problematic
[15:09] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Thank you Bill!
[15:10] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: but even if only 10% is "real" content creators, the rest of the 1 million regular users are content creators too
[15:10] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: because they create from the ready made content
[15:10] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: Thats  not the  use case  for  MOSES...    the  soldirers  they are  training  are never going to be  content  creators....    whether  you agreee or  not...   they are going to be  deloying a new platform  and demoing  a web based viewer   while  OpenSim core  is  twiddling thier  thumbs
[15:10] Mike.Lorrey @grid.kitely.com:8002: I've been advocating that there be a sort of Mesh baker, that uses a few tools from blender to optimize linksets and convert them to mesh. About 60-80% of the optimization I do to linksets in Blender can be automated.
[15:10] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: +1 Gavin
[15:10] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Yes Gavin
[15:10] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: made by the 10% to create their world
[15:10] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: and to do that you need to be able to support current content fully
[15:10] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: in tghe viewer
[15:11] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: the*
[15:11] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: Did you ever revisit the experiences from the version 2 viewer . basic mode?
[15:11] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: I think that at least with OS even if we have a HTML5 viewer there will still be a big need for a regular viewer app
[15:12] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: I agree with Mal
[15:12] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: I look at the HTML5 viewer as a way to get more acceptance of VW and have easy entrance in the beginning
[15:13] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: We can add more usability as we go along
[15:13] Bill Blight: I agree with steve I think the web viewer could be used as a transitional , introduction tool.
[15:13] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: but the issue is not just having basic creation tools, but to be able to render the entire range of content
[15:13] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: the  html viewer  capability os  going t o open the  headset market  of  users....    the  economy of that is going to overwhelm  the  "desire"  to have a viewer that supports in-world  vieweing...
[15:14] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: otherwise the experience will be like logging in to SecondLife with a viewer that does not support mesh
[15:14] Gavin.Hird @grid.xmir.org:8002: very incomplete
[15:14] Steve.Franklin @hypergrid.org:8002: Gavin- I don't see that out of the gate but down the road a bit all that can happen as browsers get more capability
[15:17] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: the  "security" reasons  are  code words  for  the  design  protocol that transfers IP off network...   If  you want  "controllable  IP/content     you HAVE to re-design  and  start over  with the  viewer
[15:18] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: hehe
[15:19] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: I've been archiving notes from today's meetings, organizing my thoughts
[15:19] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: and studying next steps
[15:19] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: yes
[15:19] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: the VRT book faire was such fun
[15:19] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: So totally agree Cyn!
[15:19] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: Opensim  hasnr  been able to  implement  simple  scene object  transfer permissions  in a  very long  time...     expecting the  to re-design the protocols  in a  manner  acceptable  to "make  the  platform  tolerable for  ANY businesses   is  (IMHO) a  pipe-dream
[15:20] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: identity matters *smiles*
[15:20] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: I didn't realize how much
[15:21] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: I miss Lyr's classes!
[15:22] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002 grins
[15:22] Bill Blight: Speaking from the end-user, public , not big ORG side, the reason we are here even having this discussion is because of PUBLIC opensource desire .. Let us not forget that ..
[15:22] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: Cyn do you feel like removing that identity and using emoticons or something else would remove that issue...or would it lessen the investment?
[15:23] SingerGirl.XOXOXO @grid.kitely.com:8002: lessen the connection of the student?
[15:23] dz.ozb @hypergrid.org:8002: being  able to TP between worlds with no content  isnt  a future....     you HAVE  to accomodate  IP
[15:23] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: BACON?
[15:24] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: i emote like a madwoman, Yvonne
[15:24] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: and spell them out for clarity for my students of all age groups, nationalities and preferences
[15:24] Art.Blue @hypergrid.org:8002: thanks a lot and have a great weekend
[15:24] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: as many do not know smilies
[15:24] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: DZ - you have a point.  A standard content service is something that needs looiking into
[15:24] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: removing identity makes some folks uncomfortable... not recognizing their personal needs
[15:25] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: I do have some who come to class as robots
[15:25] Lyr.Lobo @cc.opensimulator.org:8002: but they still have a sense of identity and preferences
[15:26] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Nice!!!
[15:26] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: A fun working conference :)
[15:27] Vinhold.Starbrook @hypergrid.org:8002: Foundations to a good building has to be built correctly to support the intended structure. That is what is taking place now first the server, next the grids, then a marketplace.
[15:27] Dieter Heyne: NO MONEY - NO MUSIC :p
[15:27] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: We should get some more grant developers too
[15:27] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: Youre right Dieter
[15:28] Bill Blight: <<-- President of a 501(c)3  you don't need to tell me about paperwork
[15:29] Evan.Emerald @grid.kitely.com:8002: LOL! Understand Bill!
[15:29] Vinhold.Starbrook @hypergrid.org:8002: There has to be something to show before you will get anyone to provide funding.
[15:30] Marcus.Llewellyn @grid.avacon.org:8002: Happy happy happy! Joy joy joy!
[15:30] Delightful.Doowangle @hypergrid.org:8002: Thank you Bill! Appreciate the hospitality
