Event Space at newBERLIN

The main event—A Developers Discussion “Integration of Wave with SL”—will be at 11AM SLT. There will also be a demonstration of an interactive training bot at 10AM SLT. (NOT wave-enabled, but an example of an application that might benefit from XMPP integration.)

The purpose of this event is to attract SL Rezidents to an open discussion about integrating XMPP with SL applications. Some discussion is taking place at this wave (only works if you have a Google Wave account): https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252Be8cce8kiD

A wave has been created to plan the event, and now has the complete schedule of events. Here is the wave-URL : https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BAltepd9UA

The interactive Display Panel has a home in Reaction Grid; albeit, a Simple version (OpenSim not yet implementing the llLookAt function that rotates the iDP to face the owner). Touching the lower corners advances or reverses the display through the images, one by one. There is also a “Delete” hot-spot in the upper right corner, too. (Only owner can delete.)

Having asked about sharing the simple slideshow display with the community (one of the Gridizens had Twittered a request for such a tool), a small platform was promptly placed in the Orientation Isles.

Thanks to Cathy, David JS (“a middle-schooler”), and the Grid Masters at Reaction Grid for helping test the Simple version of the image display panel (iDP).

Object description, script, and sample images now have a page in Widgets wiki. Hmmm, maybe I will improve the images next…
