Second Life Gets Its Own Second Convention
Speaking of conventions, I’ve just got the news from Second Life resident ZATZAi Asturias that a Second Convention will be held in Second Life, March 1-3. It looks like a well thought-out couple of days providing mostly entertainment and some showcasing of interesting stuff from the virtual world. The forum posting announcing the convention doesn’t say whether you have to register before you show up or how the organizers will handle an embarrassment of avatars, should they show, but hopefully things will work out. [UPDATE: The convention will be held in the »Artificial Isle« region of SL.] A couple of people have mentioned to me that they’d like to hold larger conventions in Second Life to mirror the kinds of conventions you find in the real world, but this is the first one I’ve heard about. Sounds like fun.

Haha, thanks for the exposure Mark.
Fortunately it’s a Class 5 sim but the plan was to limit the amount of avatars present via the estate tool, and ask everyone attending to take off their AOs etc. If we get a big enough response on the forums (And we’re certainly hoping to gauge the interest by announcing a month in advance) we may go with a ticket-to-entry system.
Attendance is of course free. :o)
How cool! I can’t wait to see how it is. It’ll be nice to have one that’s entirely in world, and I like the variety of activities. Any thought on just shutting off non-group scripts rather than asking people to remove things? That tends to do the trick much more reliably. :) Good luck, ZATZAi!
Sounds like a good ides Flipper, I’ll probably do that, thanks. :o)
