08.16.10SLCC Keynote Presentation – and, Second Life Steam?More to come on the Second Life Community Convention....but first a copy of my presentation slides as I've had a few requests: Second Life Next: Dusan Writer's 2010 SLCC Keynote PresentaionView more presentations from Remedy Communications. To watch the presentation (the slides might not make sense without it) you can view an archive of the live stream which is split in two parts: the first part includes Philip's keynote and my presentation starts at about 2:30:00, and the second part which is the remainder of my rambling. SLSteam? While I've got you - Philip mentioned that Second Life will soon have regular (weekly) updates ...

08.10.10Philip’s Grand AdventureI feel like I owe Philip an apology. He's been commenting in a few places on his absence from SLCC this year, including this blog: SLCC is incredibly important to me, and right now I need to be there more than ever. However, my family is very important to me as well. I’m leaving to drive to Yosemite literally that morning, on a trip that has been planned for over 6 months. If the SLCC organizers want to check with my schedule before planning the event, we can make sure I can be there. Family is important. Downtime is critical. Yosemite is ...

08.07.10Philip Rosedale Phoning it In: Second Life Community Convention UpdateWith Second Life in a state of, hmmm, flux I guess is a word, the upcoming Community Convention to be held in Boston next weekend strikes me as an important time to network, share notes, and get a sense of what's next for the metaverse. Last year, I called SLCC a giant support group (see 3:30) and it doesn't feel so much different as we head into this year's event: Last year, Linden Lab owned the main stage, with keynote presentations by M and Philip, and then Tom Hale. The Lab provided book-ends that helped to shape an understanding of where they ...

10.23.09Second Life and Unity: Time for a Developer’s Conference?Maybe it's time for Second Life to get a touch of Unity. Sure it's a community and I wouldn't miss the Second Life Community Convention (SLCC) about which Hiro Pendragon wrote a post suggesting changes: "This year's SLCC had great content for attendees, though the convention was somewhat disorganized. I've heard from a lot of folks interested in helping SLCC. Really, it comes down to getting an early start and getting people into appropriate roles. Everything else should flow from that. The organizers already have been taking feedback about this year, planning, reorganizing, trying to continue the momentum from this year's ...

08.19.09The Spirit of SLCC: Draxtor Despres’ All-Seeing EyeDraxtor Despres, machinima and videographer extraordinaire has a video from SLCC that pretty stunningly captures the feel of being there - no workshop footage, no keynotes, just a bunch of little clips of the people who were there. He even captured THE event of the conference - which was Eshi shopping for shoes. OK - so for those of you who have no idea what the above means, move along, we'll be back later. For the rest of you have a look at the video:

08.17.09Video: Tom Hale’s Presentation at SLCCBy way of a video stream captured by MetaWorld 2 (go there to see a larger version of the video....skip to the last part if you want to see the mesh import and HTML-on-a-prim demos). Video after the jump to avoid it auto-playing on you: Continue Reading...

Roland blogs at Mixed Realities (where he has some great SLCC coverage). Thanks to him for getting these photos up...a few selections follow: (The "What is Second Life" video was GORGEOUS)

08.16.09Left Unsaid: The Second Life Road MapThe new Second Life viewer: think - Tweetdeck Tom Hale (T Linden) presented Second Life road map for the next 16 months at the SL Community Convention this morning, heavily prefaced by Philip and M and whoever else was beating the drum: change is coming and you're not necessarily going to like it. Now, nothing I saw had me running for the exits and while I'm sure we'll hear some teeth-gnashing from the community, I suspect it will mostly blow over. Mesh imports are coming (the ability to import 3D objects created using external tools) - and so what? Sure, we might ...

08.15.09Second Life: What’s Next – Report from SLCC 09Philip Rosedale and Mark Kingdon discussed their visions for Second Life at the Community Convention in San Francisco, and while two sides of the same coin perhaps, they looked forward across vastly different time horizons and with, perhaps, diametrically opposed messages. On the one hand, Philip talked about how the rate of change will mean that Second Life (SL) has barely begun, the change will be significant, the change will be upsetting to people already using the platform; and on the other, Mark Kingdon (M Linden) talked about how there's a linear, thoughtful, and solid plan for sustainable and reasoned ...

08.15.09Mark Kingdon and Philip Rosedale Keynote at SLCCM and Pip on Tonight Live, Image via Malburns Posterous Linden Lab dynamic duo Mark Kingdon and Philip Rosedale greeted a slightly bleary-eyed crowd at the Second Life Community Convention with thoughts on the progress of the past year and the challenges ahead. The presentation followed an initial full day of sessions (and the first full day in which things were vaguely organized, and you could actually register) in which the Lab gave a sneak peek of a new orientation island specifically geared to enterprise and Chris Collins, who's heading up the Nebraska project, talked about how Second Life is being pitched ...
