[opensource-dev] MOSES & Stuff

[aklo at skyhighway.com]

So, it's like LL made something that the military was interested in
buying, and now maybe they're interested in buying it again?  Like that?

Actually, what you say sounds like LL sells the whole SL package, server &
everything as a product or something.  Must be expensive!

Am i getting it right?

Thx!

As far as I can see, It's the replacement for the SL Enterprise project,
an older project by Linden Lab to create a Second Life "behind the
firewall". Basically internal grids for companies.
I know the US Army had interests for this training/meeting wise and
looking into it, put money in it.

It's not really LL related I think.

    Hi!  When i read the dev mail about MOSES & MIAB & stuff, i couldn't help
    but ask.  What does SL (or i guess, LL) have to do with the military?  Is
    there any kind of real connection or something?  Are some of the SL devs
    military people?

    Thx!

    MOSES Office Hours Screenshot 19-Oct-2012 013-D Web is the set of
internet
    technologies that put user browsers in an online, interactive 3D
    environment.

    MOSES (Military Open Simulator Enterprise Strategy) is a
privately-hosted,
    OpenSim, online virtual environment with stringent security from hackers.

    MIAB (MOSES In A Box) is a portable, publically-licensed version of the
    experimental Project MOSES virtual environment which can be downloaded
and
    installed on standalone individual or enterprise servers.

    STTC (United States Army Simulation and Training Technology Center)
    provides state-of-the-art applied research to develop simulation
    technologies.

    Hot topics at today’s Office Hours meeting were the Approved
Participation
    Agreement and Recent Performance Adjustments to the MOSES Firewall. After
    a lengthy discussion on the formalized status of MOSES and MIAB,
    participants were invited to conduct a free-for-all, spontaneous capacity
    performance test by running and jumping and flying around all at once
    while still talking in chat. It was marvelous!

    Selected Quotes

    The project has reached a level of maturity such that it is no longer
    considered "proof of concept" and the STTC has decided to formalize the
    participation agreements between the MOSES project and its users.
