Friends,

I've just published the first draft of the Second Life Grid - Open  
Grid Protocol.  It has been a long time in coming, and as you all  
know, it is only just the first step.

	http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLGOGP_Draft_1

At the upcoming AWG meeting 2 (invited duplicated below), we'll be  
discussing the general structure of the protocol, the specifics of  
login, and sequence of what protocol sections we work on next. If you  
are attending, please be familiar with the draft.

I'm excited to get to work on this and look forward to the day that  
this document is hundreds of pages long and documents the full  
protocol of an open grid!

Dear Colleagues,

In a few weeks, Linden Lab will convene the second Grid Architecture  
Working Group meeting to develop open protocols for virtual world  
interoperability. We have prepared a first set of documents for those  
protocols, and at this meeting we'll be presenting that documentation  
and working with the group to discuss and organize the tasks ahead.

On behalf of engineering director Mark Lentczner, open source program  
manager Rob Lanphier and all of Linden Lab, I'd like to invite you to  
join us in this endeavor. If you or one of your coworkers can  
contribute to this effort, please reply to this email and let me know.
Current participants in AWG include people from leading tech  
companies, virtual worlds and related open source projects, and the  
Second Life open source developer community. Members are committed to  
producing open protocol specifications and demonstrating  
interoperability for virtual worlds. This group is open to anyone  
willing and able to do this work. The product of this group's effort  
will inform the creation of open protocol standards for virtual worlds.

Note: This meeting is an NDA-free zone. Please bring to the table your  
best ideas for creating a shared protocol, but don't share anything  
that you aren't at liberty to disclose.
