Metameets: Europe Gets Its Own Metaverse Convention

If you're not sure whether you'd prefer attending a Second Life user community convention in San Francisco or Las Vegas this August, here's another city and date to consider: Amsterdam in late May. That's the site of MetaMeets, a new SL/OpenSim convention being put together by numerous EU Residents, with entertainment from celebrity metaverse musicians Dizzy Banjo and Slim Warrior, and a tech demo by Jules Vos of Visibuild, the grounbreaking RealXtend-compatible building software I wrote about last week.  (Among many others.) So it's shaping up to be a fun and valuable event in a truly great city.  I was just there last Winter, and now already I'm tempted to return again.  Some might even argue that Amsterdam is a more Second Life-appropriate location than either Vegas or even SF -- would you?

If only I had the money and the freedom to go to Amsterdam. Sadly reality sucks. Maybe in a few years. That is if any of this metaverse stuff survives the current economy/government situation and the tendency of this technology to implode because people writing the code don't have to live it or even depend on it. There is no Kaizen in sight anywhere near the metaverse.

Amsterdam a better place?? Ofcourse we scream!! But that is because of being the home town. But the attention is to have indeed a european version and this time in Amsterdam but where next year? And would it not be great if we have this movement through the year. One SLCC in Amerika, MetaMeets in Europe, ... Asia and even one in our community talked about South Africa...
Virtual worlds Community conventions spread around the world through the year. With nice places to see..
