[Opensim-dev] OpenSimulator Meetup Frankfurt

[Marcus Alexander Link]

Hi everyone,

Volker Gässler posted lately the announcement of their monthly OpenSim
meetup in Zürich.

Offering the opportunity to also collaborate in RL (physically) results
often in a boost of creativity
and further collaboration - for the benefit of the underlying project/cause
itself.
Therefore - I prepare to start a monthly meeting in Frankfurt/Main -
starting July 2012.

What:
Monthly OpenSimulator Meetup (MOM)
When: 1st Saturdays
Time: http://www.doodle.com/w4r9z99g2nh2su8m (7 pm estimated)
Where: Frankfurt
Temporary location: Westerbachstraße 47, Building 9, 60489 Frankfurt
For further information please contact Marcus A. Link (aka Fim Fischer):
+491577 422


German:
Hi zusammen,

in Zürich findet bereits jetzt ein monatlich OpenSimulator Meeting statt.
Die Idee aufgreifend, starte ich ein monatliches Meetup in Frankfurt -
weitere 'Kollaborateure' sind willkommen.

Das erste Treffen findet am 7. Juli statt.
Uhrzeit: http://www.doodle.com/w4r9z99g2nh2su8m
Vorläufiger Veranstaltungsort: Westerbachstraße 47, Haus 9, 60489 Frankfurt
(bei Fritz deutschlanD/Hackerspace Ffm
e.V.)

Re: [Opensim-dev] Changing HUD for all accounts

[Marcus Alexander Link]

Hello Kevin,

that sounds promising. I still would like to have that possibility.
Please continue. If you could create a wiki page for the module on
OpenSimulator.org, I would drop in once in a while.
The wiki discussion pages are great to get feedback.

Thank you in advance,
Marcus

Thx Justin, Bo, for the advice. I am going to try the "ONE MySql query" route.

Re: [Opensim-dev] Translating VRML for use in OPENSIM

[Marcus Alexander Link]

Hi,

you could say the IRC channel #opensim is the hangout for coders.
If someone has information, news that could be of interest for ppl who
are "following" the twitter hashtag #opensim (often also coders), they
add it to their tweet.

Posts via twitter are "more generally" related to the OpenSim/3D
Internet/Metaverse topic.
But you are right, twitter is some type of "asynchronous chat", with a
persistent chat history.

Regards,
Marcus

Re: [Opensim-dev] Making AllowScriptCrossing = true by default

[Marcus Alexander Link]

Is it possible to let scripts only cross regions (out of a region) as binaries?
