#osg16b — Public Fediverse posts

@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.
