(”What a bunch of nerds” - Zha)
This year at the Virtual Worlds Expo in LA, several of the OpenSim and related developers (including RealXtend and others) decided to sponsor a booth and attend as a large contingent. We’ve been exhibiting, explaining and showing OpenSim to hundreds of managers, developers and users. What most of us did not expect was that we’d be coming home with the VW08 Overall Innovation Award.
It’s rather nice to poke our head up above the water and see that there is some interest in what we are doing, and the recognition doesnt hurt. We’ll post some more on this once the conference is over and I have a bit of time to collate the photos and feedback we’ve gotten.
After long delay, the Screenshot Competition winners
Big thanks to everyone who contributed screenshots for us to use for this event - we used images from the following people/groups in our promotional materials, we had so many pictures to choose from and only a limited amount of space to use (Over 100 screenshots were submitted)
Images we used were from…
RealXtend - Ludocraft and Adminotech - www.realxtend.org
Bin Chen and Tiantian Wang - SecondCampus.net.cn
Myself / Deepthink - www.deepthink.com.au
Warin Cascabel - Escapon on OSGrid.org
United Grid - www.unitedgrid.com
Prizes and everyone else…
You will be able to download the PDFs of the banners and printed materials we made for the booth shortly. Everyone who contributed (not just the winners!) and wants to take advantage of our offer for 6 months free hosting on osgrid.org, please contact me and I’ll get you setup.
