[sldev] [META]{AWG} proposal for new IETF working group and next meeting. Be there or be out of the loop...

[Lawson English]

So, for one reason or another, no-one has mentioned this, but Zero 
Linden announced a couple of weeks ago that Linden Lab had begun the 
process of setting up a Birds of a Feather (BOF) meeting at IETF 74 that 
meets this March. The name of the group is:

MMOX --Massively Multiplayer Online X [Stuff]


The purpose is what the name suggests: it takes the preliminary OGP/AWG 
protocols and proposes them as preliminary protocols for Virtual World 
interop--the beginning for the process of establishing internet "stuff" 
for virtual worlds.

Today's meeting, Tuesday, 9:30 AM SLT at ThornBridgeTown should also be 
more about the IETF.

Feel free to IM Saijanai Kuhn, Tree Kyomoon or Zha Ewry in-word for a 
group invite to our meeting place.
