CW: Expecting an exciting three and a half hours at OSCC23 today; CW: long (ca. 2,600 characters)
The OpenSimulator Community Conference is saving the best for last. At least for those of us who live in central Europe, 9 hours ahead of grid time, and who don't want to stay up all night for the late-late events.- 11:30 AM-12:30 PM PST/grid time:
Shop during lunch! Hypergrid Shopping Tour: Where to find content
I'm curious where Lyr Lobo will take us. And if she has taken the time to add some of my suggestions as actual destinations. Then again, @Juno Rowland or I could probably do an even longer specialise "So you've got a Ruth2 v4, and you're looking for clothes, but you don't want to resort to copybotted Second Life stuff" shopping tour. Have this wiki article instead. - 12:30 PM-1:30 PM PST/grid time:
In Conversation: Mal Burns talks with Tish Shute
Okay, that's a filler, but probably an interesting one, also because it takes a look at early OpenSim. - 1:30 PM-2:00 PM PST/grid time:
The Open Metaverse Research Group
Right now, the Open Metaverse Research Group appears to be a bunch of idealistic OpenSim users who want to achieve what industry and cryptobros, both with no knowledge of even OpenSim's existence whatsoever, are working on independently themselves. And it doesn't look like the OMRG has any associates outside the OpenSim community. Not to mention the state their very wiki is in. I hope this panel will convince me otherwise. - 2:00 PM-2:30 PM PST/grid time:
Max – New Free Mesh bodies for OpenSim Avatars
The most exciting panel of the whole event. Ada Radius presents the new "unisex" mesh body she has created this year, Max, that can be turned into a male variant named Maxwell and a female one named Maxine. It's the official successor of Ruth2 and Roth2 now, and just like them, it's free, open-source, legal and made in and for OpenSim by largely the same team. And it promises to provide a much better dev kit. I'll try to apply as a beta-tester, also because I don't want this body to go out there only lab-tested by its own devs. - 2:30 PM-3:00 PM PST/grid time:
A Home for Arcadia Asylum
Another topic dear to Ada, now joined by Kayaker Magic: the creations of Arcadia Asylum/Aley Arai/Lora Lemon/Aley Resident, at least what was successfully rescued and transferred to OpenSim. Kayaker has recently launched an entire grid specialising on Arcadia Asylum, and there'll be a tour through it tomorrow at 10 AM PST/grid time.

@OpenSim
So Metaverse Day has been announced for January 2024.
If you don't want to wait for that long, but you want to attend a conference about #VirtualWords, the OpenSimulator Community Conference will take place on December 9th and 10th, 2023. Not the first one, but the 11th one.
It won't be about planning #TheMetaverse for the future. Rather, it will be about a decentralised #metaverse network that has been around and referred to as such for over 15 years: OpenSimulator.
Some facts for those who don't know it yet:- launched in 2007
- free as in free beer
- free as in #FreeSoftware (BSD License)
- #OpenSource
- cross-platform
- based on the same technology as #SecondLife
- needs no #blockchain
- needs no #cryptocurrency
- works without #NFTs
- no #VR headset required, can be used on desktop and laptop computers
- actually #decentralised: over 400 public grids, almost all of which are interconnected via the #Hypergrid
- the Hypergrid has more than four times as much combined landmass as Second Life
- cheap land: many grids offer 256x256m regions for $10/month or less
- essentially infinite land resources because anyone can install and run their own #grid
The OpenSimulator Community Conference will probably be broadcast live via YouTube again. Videos from previous Community Conferences can be watched on AvaCon's Channel. Alternatively, it can be attended in person with an avatar. It can be created on the OpenSimulator Community Conference's own grid when registering for the event, or an existing avatar on most other grids can be used.

CW: OpenSim-related Follow Friday post; CW: long (well over 3,000 characters)
Here's a premiere: the first #FollowFriday for #OpenSimulator.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about: OpenSimulator, also called #OpenSim, is a free and #OpenSource platform for 3-D #VirtualWorlds that uses largely the same technology as #SecondLife. It was launched as early as 2007. It mostly became a network of #federated, interconnected worlds (#grids) when the #Hypergrid was introduced in 2008. And "#Metaverse" has been a part of the standard OpenSim vocabulary since before 2010, too.
It currently measures about 420 public grids at various sizes from tiny to slightly larger than Second Life itself and countless private grids, the vast majority of which are on the Hypergrid.
So without further ado, here are some suggestions:- Shelenn Ayres
#InfiniteMetaverseAlliance CEO. Co-organiser of the on-going #OpenSimFest #OSFest2023 that'll continue until the end of the month. Follow her now for the daily schedule. Also maybe your first #Friendica connection.
→ @Shelenn Ayres - Mal Burns
Creator and main host of #InworldReview, also creator of several other YouTube video series about virtual worlds. One of the organisers of #HypergridInternationalExpo which will return next month after six years.

One of the four founders and owners of #CraftWorld, one of the five oldest grids. Another one of the organisers of HIE.
→ @Tosha T. - Kelso Uxlay
Co-founder and co-owner of the #CreaNovale grid. Co-builder of the famous four-seasons varsim known as #Novale. And yet another one of the organisers of HIE.
→ @Kelso Uxlay - Lone Wolf
Founder and owner of the #WolfTerritoriesGrid, the second-largest OpenSim grid. Might be the single person who owns the most virtual land in the world, but he offers it for rent. Also founder and owner of the OpenSimSocial #Mastodon instance.
→ @Lone Wolf - Hyacinth Jean
Founder and owner of the #GroovyVerse grid and the GroovyToot Mastodon instance. Prolific #MeshBody maker; has forked Ruth 2.0 into #LuvMyBod and Diana and created her own private mesh body. Currently working on an alternative to #OpenSimWorld.
→ @Hyacinth 🏳️⚧️ ☮️ - vrsimility

→ @vrsimility - OpenSimulator Community Conference
The #OSCC is a yearly community event with a whole number of panels about OpenSim in particular and virtual worlds in general. Expect #OSCC23 to happen in December.
→ @OpenSim Community Conference - Finally, the OpenSim community on #Lemmy
Not a user for a change, but a place on Lemmy for OpenSim users/avatars to meet and discuss.

@Holocluck Henly There's the #OSCC (OpenSimulator Community Conference; #OSCC23 in December; official website) which is an annual multiple-day conference with five adjacent expo regions.
Then there's the #HypergridInternationalExpo, #HIE in short (October 7th/8th; official website) which is practically the same for presenters and an audience whose native language is not English. And it doesn't have five standard regions worth of expo, "only" some booths along a path.
Then there's #OpenSimFest. You already know that, I guess. It doesn't have a website AFAIK, but here is a post on #OpenSimWorld.
The nearest major event is #OSG16B, the 16th #GridAnniversary of #OSgrid, the first, oldest and biggest #OpenSim #grid and the one with the most users (July 24th to 30th).
You can be glad that you haven't asked me in February. I would have had to explain #CornflakesWeek to you. -

Just a few reminders for #OpenSimulator #events this year:
The first and oldest #OpenSim grid, #OSgrid, will most likely celebrate its 16th birthday next month, probably towards the end of the month. The exact dates and the schedule for #OSG16B have yet to be announced, though.
The next date will be #OpenSimFest. Led by @Shelenn Ayres, #OSFest2023 is scheduled for September 15th to 30th and will feature events as well as (mostly commercial) merchants. See also here.
Not much time to catch your breath until #HypergridInternationalExpo (official website) which will return on October 7th and 8th after six years. And again, the organisers @Thirza and @Mal Burns Opensim are in the Fediverse already. #HIE is basically the #OSCC for non-English speakers; otherwise, the concept is very similar.
Speaking of which, we'll most likely have another OpenSimulator Community Conference this year. I expect #OSCC23 to take place in early December again, but this date is still TBA, too.
