The collaboration between Linden Lab and IBM on OpenSim may be the most direct step taken so far toward a true ‘metaverse’. Come hear IBM’s Zha Ewry and Linden Lab’s Zero Linden talk about the progress they have made, and the implications of their work at Metanomics, Noon PST on Monday, August 4th. We start the show with Dusan Writer announcing the follow-up to his much-lauded competition to create a better Second Life client viewer.

About OpenSimulator

http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Main_Page

"The OpenSimulator Project is a BSD Licensed Virtual Worlds Server which can be used for creating and deploying 3D Virtual Environments. It has been developed by several developers. Out of the box, the OpenSimulator can be used to create a Second Life(tm) like environment, able to run in a standalone mode or connected to other OpenSimulator instances through built in grid technology. It can also easily be extended to produce more specialized 3D interactive applications."
