WEEKEND OPEN FORUM (Updated)

If there's an SL-based topic you want to talk about, or grassroots content/events you want to promote, post here.  Topics abound:  Want to tell us about your open source project?   Seen a truly amazing build that we have to visit?   Played a recent game we've all got to try out?  Discuss these and more here, and come Monday, I'll mention noteworthy Comments and discussions in a front page update.

Update, 1/28:  starcomber Vig is the first on this blog to point out yesterday's big numerical event:

Three million total accounts created.  Of if you prefer, following Philip Linden's ratio of 10% active users-- defined as logging in-world at least once a week three months after account creation-- 300,000 regular Residents.  Only years ago (i.e., pre-World of Warcraft), this was considered on the high end for a non-Asian online world.

Well, did anybody go to the Digital Cultures meeting on belief in Second Life last Wednesday?

[starcomber Vig]

3 millions?

[Vincent]

Three millions! It's about time we go totally open source with Second Life so we can take some pressure off of San Francisco and Austin ;D.

Here's a topic I want to discuss in the open forum: when you search for "new world notes" on google.com, why is it that Hamlet's old blog is still the number one return? =(

Heh, the new blog used to be on the second page, so I'm lucky it's competing that well with the old one. Google is cantankerous about migrated blogs, apparently.
