OpenSim+Project

OpenSim is an open source version of a virtual world implementation. You can find information at the previous link as well as the wikipedia entry here.

Montclair State University is considering setting up a version of OpenSim on a server that will be provided by the Office of Information Technology's Systems, Security and Networking division. OIT will maintain the server, connection, patches, etc... but only if our team supports the actual application. This would mean tapping into the open source community that is already in place to support this and working to get an instance of OpenSim up and running.

This OpenSim project has two parts. The first is that someone, or a team, needs to figure out what is necessary in order to bring about an instance of OpenSim. This would need to be planned and then documented, and space for the documentation has been set up here. If you are interested in working on the team for this first part of the project, please add you name to the OSP Team Members roster.

The second part of this project is that I want each of you to set up accounts on three instances of OpenSim. The first two, which you can do now, are Heritage Key (select Virtual Experience to sign up) and Reaction Grid. The third will be the instance we set up for MSU. Once you have set up accounts on the OpenSim instances, please add your avatar names below.
