I’ve posted, separately, slides from Future of Commerce in Second Life<http://sitearm.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/slcc-2011-the-future-of-commerce-in-second-life-by-jeff-vogt-sl-vogt-linden/>, American Cancer Society Relay for Life<http://sitearm.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/slcc-2011-how-sl-businesses-and-non-profits-work-together-for-a-mutually-beneficial-relationship-in-second-life-by-jeff-montegut-sl-stingray9798-rayma/>, and Creative Economy in Second Life<http://sitearm.wordpress.com/2011/08/14/slides-and-video-for-todays-slcc-2011-presentation/> . Reflection SLCC 2011 has been a good experience for *Live and Remote*, and *Resident and Linden* attendees. My favorite quote at lunch, from a linden staffer, was, “*We *[all 23 of us]* CHOSE to be here.*” In other words, Residents and Lindens are eager and ready to *reconnect*. I think this conference has been the *kick start* for that reconnecting to happen. Kudos to *AvaCon* and *Linden Lab*! Aha!’s On a personal note, my head is swimming with *new words* for the day, including “*economic mega-region*,” “*usability and engagement*”, “*economic participation*,” and “*personal branding*.” The afternoon keynote identified *Seven Product Team Contacts* for us to be aware of: Art – *Durian Linden* Gaming – *Gez Linden* Role Playing – *Esbee Linden* Adult – *Charla Linen* Education – *Geo Linden *Music – *Nya Linden *Fashion – *Cassandra Linden* Concluding Thoughts I was encouraged, again, by the *quality of the speakers* and the *energy of the participants* (live and remote) to *re-engage* and *re-connect*. Put *SLCC 2012*, *First or Second Weekend in August*, *Boston*, on your calendars now. Watch for *more 2011 articles and pictures* this week. * Recordings* of 2011 sessions will be available in about a week from the SL Convention Web Site <http://www

DSG allows massive numbers of OpenSim users to interact live with each other without lag. For today’s test, 12 logged into region mosesdsg2, and 12 logged into mosesdsg5; yet each one of the 24 could see every other one of the 24, and chat and communicate together. Users were logged in from 9 states, and 3 countries. The Office Hours load test is part of preparations for much larger exercises to be conducted by STTC. Intel members of the MOSES Community include Robert Adams, Mic Bowman, Dan Lake, and Kitty Liu. *Selected quotes* *Bandwidth increases quadratically with the number of users. For n users, each making a move, the server sends n(n-1) updates. * n=2; 2 updates n=5; 20 updates n=10; 90 updates n=20; 380 updates n=50; 2,450 updates n=100; 9,900 updates n=200; 3,980 updates n=500; 249,500 updates n>500; n*n updates See also: U.S. Army Offers MOSES 3D Web System for Non-Army Researchers<http://sitearm.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/u-s-army-offers-moses-3d-web-system-for-non-army-researchers/> Distributed scene graph to enable thousands of interacting users<http://www.pap.vs.uni-due.de/MMVE10/papers/mmve2010_submission_7.pdf> Military Open Simulator Enterprise Strategy (home page)<http://brokentablet.arl.army.mil/> Posted in 3D Web <http://sitearm.wordpress.com/category/3d-web/>, MOSES<http://sitearm.wordpress.com/category/moses/>, News <http://sitearm.wordpress.com/category/news/>.

[opensource-dev] Fwd: MOSES DSG Experiment Questions Received
*this addresses Nickys question about getting a website warning notice - Moses is US Govt. not Commercially certified. It is OK to click Continue to Web.* -- Forwarded message -- From: McLennan, Kay L Date: Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 6:13 AM Subject: MOSES DSG Experiment Questions Received To: ARL STTC Open Simulator , MOSES LIST I posted two "Uncle Sam and Aunt Intel Need You" calls for participation in the upcoming MOSES DSG experiment [on the Virtual Pedagogy and OSgrid.org G+ groups] and received a number of questions. In turn, I answered the questions "to the best of my knowledge" but thought I would pass on both the questions and my replies (in case either is of interest to future calls for participation in MOSES DSG experiments and/or merits immediate clarification). -- Question received: "I went to the sign-up link, but encountered a big red warning screen stating the site security certificate cannot be trusted...?" Answer given: "If the warning was on the federal site, the federal government self-certifies so the warning just means none of the commercial entities that certify sites are involved in certifying this federal government site. Alternatively, if the warning was on a viewer download site, the Phoenix Firestorm Project site (with the needed OpenSim version) is at http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/downloads."; Note: While my McAfee SiteAdvisor software allows me to access the http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/downloads site, I get the same "Dangerous Site" warning when I try to access the http://www.firestormviewer.org site. -- Question received: "Do you know whether I can still participate with the old SL client circa 2009, or must I download whatever the newest one is?" Answer given: "You will need to download a Firestorm viewer (read: the OpenSim version) and further, input the MOSES DSG grid coordinates into the viewer. In other words, the test is NOT taking place in Second Life (and accordingly, cannot be accessed using the Second Life viewer)." -- Question received: [From someone that cannot participate in the experiment tomorrow...] "Will there be any future [MOSES DSG] experiments?" Answer given: "I will re-post any future calls for participants. [As an aside, like you, I hope there will be another call for participants since I have schedule conflict tomorrow too!]" Again, in case any of the above merits immediate revision (or just FYI), I wanted to forward the questions I have received to date. "Break a leg tomorrow!" Best, Kay Kay L.
