METANEWS Panel Discussion - An Internal Affair
Second Life Birthday Party a Virtual Meltdown
June 24, 2010
June 24th was not a good day for Second life. It was a virtual meltdown. CEO M Linden / Mark Kingdon resigned or was asked to step down. We had a situation at hand and a serious one. M Linden was to speak at the SL7B ( Second Life Birthday celebration) but at the last minute breaking news of his resignation was announced. Second life founder Philip Rosedale spoke in his place to save his virtual face. Who knows what the real details are of this internal affair or in what direction Second Life will go?
I was sent an invitation to attend this panel discussion on the sim Rezzed TV / METANEWS. The panel was going to originally gather on one of the other SL Birthday sims but that changed not sure why. Maybe lag?
Panelists
- Chantal Harvey
- Phaylen Fairchild
- Stuart Warf
- Saffia Widdershins
- Gianna Borgnine
- SecondLie Scribe
This discussion panel was made up of 6 seasoned Second Lifers offering their points of view and speculation as to what had just happened. I can't say everything said here was factual. What you will hear on this Blogcast is basically just a group of individuals who have had an inside and outside view of the ins and outs of Second Lifes internal affairs.
During the discussion I can't even tell you how many times I crashed so the audio is 30 minutes off and the transcripts are a little incomplete as well and my patience is now back to normal range. But all this information gives you the overall feel of the the discussion.
I was filming and It was brutal I have to say. It's been brutal for some time. I will put together a small film with a few clips of the discussion so you can see the environment. I really do not want Second life to disappear and I don't think it is going anywhere to soon, it is just in a major transitional period.
This was a major "MOVING ON" moment for Second life for sure and M Linden stepped down or was asked to resign. Who knows? I really don't know the facts and I believe even the panelist don't really know the truth either. Some are privileged than others and privy to some information the ordinary user would not know. But this was to personal to M Linden it was the mans job for goodness sake. We can speculate all we want but only a handful at best know what this strategic move was all about. I hope the people who were let go before him luck as well. In today's economic climate even the best are finding it difficult to find employment. I really wish them well.
The direction of Second Life and Linden Lab is really up to a select few and in their hands. This is all speculative talk from a few that have been inside and out of Second life's back doors. They seem to be up with things and in the know or just have good foresight.
We may all be surprised M Linden may end up on another real continent and still connected to SL & LL. All we can do is wait and see. If we care to. Second life is not a Face Book and never will be. I wouldn't want it to be. I've put in my time almost 4 years so I've got a lot invested in this Second Life myself.
I arrived 30 minutes into this so I may have missed the better part of the discussion. The people who spoke here really were open and as honest as I think they could be. I hope this helps others get a better inside view of how some of the main players see things and what's on their minds.
I will think about this post and try to update it with more information. The panelist really explain it all best. Please listen to the audio posted like I mentioned the panelist say it best. The audience was not allowed to speak so the transcripts tell what they were saying or asking.

Note: I never want to revel in ones misfortune and I will not do it here. I am only blogging what I heard, read and saw and posting it so the others who could not make the discussion could listen to whats going on from this panels perspective. I have no real knowledge of the facts of the CEO's resignation so I wont make any assumptions or claims. This CEO stepping down or being ask to resign is not anything to celebrate. A man lost his job and a company we all love is in trouble. It needs some kind of support so lets all work once again together and figure this thing out..
I'm torn with all of this. I feel my relationship has been a love hate thing and Second life has become so much a part of my real life. Iv invested so much of my own time, my own real money and my own emotions. I only wish it continued success and for the population of Second Life, the residents a lot of luck, lets keep our fingers crossed it levels out and we all come out winners not losers.

[14:38] Delinda Dyrssen: Well he gives more hope than M did you ahve to admit
[14:38] Simeon Bookmite: remeember quicktrees remember sim level control of wind light Philip Linden never finishesd things
[14:38] Slim Warrior: True, we make our own world within SL, but it's now at a higher and higher cost to be able to do that
[14:38] Scarp Godenot: Has anyone noticed the rising tide of OpenSims out there? SL needs to work together with cross world surfing or they will be in danger of being AOL.....
[14:38] Gwenette Writer: EXACTLY . . without the Lindens ALL of them WE WOULD NOT BE HERE geez LL is a piomneering
company in territory that is NEW they - like all of us - are pioneers and WILL make mistakes, backtrack, and so forth yaddayadda
[14:39] Rose Borchovski: I hope when he come s back he delets the bann button, so we have have to start debeta instead just agreeing with eeachother how well you all know it from the sideline
[14:39] Slim Warrior: I Love SL totally

[14:39] John Zhaoying: I hope he makes the ban button actually make the banned user's PC explode.
[14:39] Gwenette Writer: hypergridding is critical to virtual realm development
RETURNED FROM CRASH
[14:47] Reed Steamroller: steve jobs wasn't an engineer, he was a salesman. woz was the engineer.
[14:47] Slim Warrior: Right now its just conjecture as to why M has left
[14:47] Connecting to in-world Voice Chat...
[14:47] Connected
[14:47] Gwenette Writer: GREEEEEED
[14:48] GreyWolf Mornington: He has nice hair.. lol
[14:48] Gwenette Writer: forfeiting cretivity fro bottom line larger profit margin rather shamelessly common hahah
[14:48] Taylor Danick: lol
[14:48] Elrik Merlin: Where LL lost its way was in focusing on people who don't want to be here, and ignoring people who do
[14:48] Wizard Gynoid: ha, right on phaylen!
[14:48] Gwenette Writer: I AGREE!
[14:48] Kallan McCullough: agree again Elrik
[14:48] Vaughan Wingtips: SL is not facebook, twitter, AOL, ICQ etc etc!!! Remember the emotions, that is a critical word "emotions" that SL provokes. This is a platform of dreams and evokes a focus in in people to enable in us an ability to create
[14:48] Reed Steamroller: therefor, the comparison between steve jobs and phil doesn't fit as well as you would think.
[14:48] GreyWolf Mornington: YES
[14:48] No room to sit here, try another spot.
[14:49] Ze Moo: Philip Rosedale - Steve Jobs? SL changed my life! Safari browser did not.. ;P
[14:49] Gwenette Writer: We are VERY DEMANDING pionners ahah
[14:49] Moyra Ares: just wait till mesh support comes...that will change SL
[14:49] truthseekrArtist Xevion: we will have a chip in our brains and have like a holodeck in rl of sl adding on to the experience
[14:49] truthseekrArtist Xevion: i bet
[14:49] SecondLie Scribe: agreed.
[14:49] Gwenette Writer: I AGREE with that completely
[14:49] Rissa Maidstone: Phaylen you can say the same of almost any industry. If companies don't continue to pioneer new ideas, etc they go out of business.
[14:49] John Zhaoying: I agree with this. I think you're totally right.
[14:49] Slim Warrior: lol Gwennette
[14:49] Chimera Cosmos: Mac changed my life at a much earlier stage tho...indeed
[14:49] SecondLie Scribe: it was not yet ready for business, but they pushed it for business.
[14:49] Penelope Drucker: will SL ever be a finished product?
[14:49] Penelope Drucker: I would hope not
[14:49] Jocelyn Pawpad: SL is unique, attempting to marry SL to conservative attitudes (ie: twitter, facebook) is never going to win friends - in SL, on Twitter, anywhere
[14:49] Elrik Merlin: Heh. Macintosh and iPhone changed my life certainly, so...
[14:49] truthseekrArtist Xevion: it is a process not the product, like living until you die
[14:49] Kallan McCullough: good point Penelope 
[14:49] DrFran Babcock: they never promote themselves
[14:49] Reed Steamroller: mesh>*
[14:49] Reed Steamroller: they DO advertise
[14:49] Wizard Gynoid: i thought they hired a PR person...
[14:49] Chimera Cosmos: now they are saying it is not profitable
[14:49] Reed Steamroller: they advertise on youtube
[14:49] Reed Steamroller: for one
[14:49] Slim Warrior: The Have a Huge PR company
[14:49] Scarp Godenot: It won'd be anywhere near a finished product until there is inventory safe cross world surfing. That is the point at which VR worlds will take the big jump.....
[14:50] truthseekrArtist Xevion: we need it in education
[14:50] truthseekrArtist Xevion: and art
[14:50] Rissa Maidstone: Well that's true too -- I thought I saw a shift to profesisionalism with M Linden and the new people he brought on.
[14:50] Slim Warrior: and they are spending money on new advertising
[14:50] Simeon Bookmite: i think Mesh was held back because of philips return
[14:50] Kitsune Lassiter: I agree Truth
[14:50] Elrik Merlin: The important thing about a virtual world is "Why should I go there?" not the tech per se
[14:50] Slim Warrior: COO is Bob Koman
[14:50] truthseekrArtist Xevion: my dreams have part of SL in them now
[14:50] Chimera Cosmos: not nearly as cute heheh
[14:50] truthseekrArtist Xevion: i dream SL
[14:50] Namav Abramovic shouts: there are thousands of empty sims
[14:50] Elrik Merlin: ...and "Why should I go there" is US
[14:50] Delinda Dyrssen: I would like to see the next CEO who has an emotional investment.. like Cory
[14:50] Slim Warrior: is next ceo in line
[14:50] Gwenette Writer: agree Scarp HYPERGRIDDING is critical - yes it is also a threat as it gives content to other grids perhaps but there can be controls
[14:50] SecondLie Scribe: bob koman's a straight shooter
[14:50] DrFran Babcock: GRACE MCDUNNOUGH for CEO
[14:51] Elrik Merlin: Hypergridding would be awesome
[14:51] Gwenette Writer: Philip is a metaphysicist
[14:51] Elrik Merlin: We shouldn't be left out
[14:51] Slim Warrior: I think we shoudl have several CEOs
[14:51] Slim Warrior: not just one
[14:51] Simeon Bookmite: nods if he wants to fill the moat he will need hypergrid
[14:51] Beyond Baroque: ?!?
[14:51] Kitsune Lassiter: hello Razz! 
[14:51] SecondLie Scribe: one ceo, but multiple empowered VPs
[14:51] Chantal Harvey: we should have female ceo
[14:52] Razzleberry Tunwarm: ?¸(`'·.¸ ? •.¸¸:Hello:.¸¸.• ? ¸.·'´)¸?
[14:52] LOM Runner: who is the CIO?
[14:52] Delinda Dyrssen: Like executive VP's Slimmie?
[14:52] Slim Warrior: yes delinda
[14:52] Elrik Merlin: Slie is right there
[14:52] Delinda Dyrssen: hmmm yes maybe a good idea
[14:52] Gwenette Writer: we need the cloud we need to be our own ONLIVE . . . gear will not alwatys be a barrier
[14:52] Reed Steamroller: a $100 geforce 8800 gt will handle anything SL can throw at it
[14:52] Chimera Cosmos: how can it be done w/o destroying the functionality for those who CAN access it?
[14:52] Brookston Holiday: Render the world on the server side.
[14:52] truthseekrArtist Xevion: SL is the avatars
[14:52] Delinda Dyrssen: I wanted to show a freind SL at her house.. didnt have my computer with me
[14:52] Elrik Merlin: I think cloud rendering will be important - OnLive or Otoy style.
[14:52] truthseekrArtist Xevion: we are SL
[14:53] Delinda Dyrssen: hers was maybe 16 months old and she could not move when we got her logged in
[14:53] Slim Warrior: most of us just want the simple things to function properly in SL... Groups, search etc
[14:53] Chimera Cosmos: ow!
[14:53] Itazura Radio: They can call the new framed out support call center! Yay! 
[14:53] Elrik Merlin: The arguments about bandwidth against cloud rendering are shortsighted
[14:53] Itazura Radio: farmer*
[14:53] Jocelyn Pawpad: I'll remember that when I *upgrade* my laptop Reed 
[14:53] Srilania Svoboda: Reed, I have a $50 geforce 9500 and it is pure eyeball sex
[14:53] Itazura Radio: farmed*
[14:53] Chimera Cosmos: thought I was only imagining that eveyone hated me...heheheh
[14:53] Gwenette Writer: the problem was not that he did that it was that tbhey assumed they needed to "flatten" the experience and make the viewer more prominant than the 3d world . . . serious immersion breaker V2
[14:53] Beyond Baroque: You do realize the cost of server-side rendering, right? One high end PC per user?
[14:53] Simeon Bookmite: viewer was just not ready
[14:53] Delinda Dyrssen: yep
[14:53] Gwenette Writer: WE NEED THE CLOUD
[14:53] Brookston Holiday: Yes
[14:54] Elrik Merlin: It's being done. It works. You do it on virtualised machines, not individual PCs
[14:54] Delinda Dyrssen: And thats What Phillip said he was going to do
[14:54] SecondLie Scribe: marketing was a flop... they were trying to sell a failed front end for business instead of as an entertainment product
[14:54] Jan Meskin: Elrik, don't confuse people with facts.
[14:54] Beyond Baroque: Doesn't work that way, Elrik, You need a physical GPU.
[14:55] Elrik Merlin: Perhaps today. Perhaps next week. Thereafter.,..?
[14:55] Kallan McCullough: Agree, Secondlie
[14:55] Gwenette Writer: Philip is our HERO hahahaha
[14:55] Chantal Harvey: hehe yes
[14:55] Jocelyn Pawpad: WWPLD?
[14:55] Chimera Cosmos: getting announcements about a Parade for Philip from Bay City to Ahern
[14:56] Chimera Cosmos: starting soon apparently
[14:56] Gwenette Writer: WIthout the gleam in his eye decades ago about the virtual realm we WOULD NOT BE HERE . . much respect ALWAYS to Philip to Mitch & to ALL of US!!
[14:56] Scarp Godenot: VR worlds are here to stay, they are not going away. The form they take is up for grabs. Improving the platforms should be the key strategy of SL and ALL virtual worlds.
[14:56] Elrik Merlin: Yes, IP still needs to be properly addressed
[14:56] Razzleberry Tunwarm: ?¸(`'·.¸ ? •.¸¸:Hello:.¸¸.• ? ¸.·'´)¸?
[14:56] Razzleberry Tunwarm: Grey
[14:57] DrFran Babcock: why Grace McDunnough?
[14:57] Gwenette Writer: I think WE can make sl be more than a NICHE thing . . we cannot count on ouir "parents" to do all the work . .
[14:57] Reed Steamroller: Gianna: who put that computer together for you?
[14:57] Slim Warrior: hehe
[14:57] SecondLie Scribe: hahahahahaha <3 reed

[14:57] DrFran Babcock: yes, I know
[14:57] Chimera Cosmos: if you google hard you can find out
[14:58] Delinda Dyrssen: I can tell from reading her blog that shes very intelligent
[14:58] GreyWolf Mornington: Do you think LL will seek more input from the community on the direction to go?
[14:58] DrFran Babcock: I agree
[14:58] Namav Abramovic shouts: QUESTION: What was M Linden's vision? And what are Philip's goals for SL going forward?
[14:58] DrFran Babcock: hehe

[14:58] DrFran Babcock: Wheeee! ^.^
[14:58] Kitsune Lassiter: rofl!
[14:59] Scarp Godenot: Namav, you have hit the nail on the head... nobody knows what anyones 'vision' is, becaue this is considered a trade secret.....
[14:59] DrFran Babcock: It's an inspired choice
[14:59] Gwenette Writer: Namav we all wonder yes
[14:59] Chantal Harvey: it will soon
[14:59] Stuart Warf: (they're on Rezzed.TV soon)

[15:00] Kitsune Lassiter: here here!
[15:00] Gwenette Writer: LL promoting the "creative work" of residents in rl is something LL has missed understanding . . they is GREAT VALUE in the content here
[15:01] Namav Abramovic shouts: QUESTION: What was M Linden's vision? And what are Philip's goals for SL going forward?
[15:01] GreyWolf Mornington: As a Technician I find that ingenners do not understand the users
[15:01] SecondLie Scribe: biggest issue with streaming is the source bandwidth
[15:01] Jocelyn Pawpad: I've an open question for anyone on the panel who wishes to field it... what (if any) controls migh one reasonably put in place to minimise the chance of a repeat of Phillip appointing someone like M Linden... people who would have such a disruptive and detrimental effect on existing residents, the very same people who bought into Phillip's stated dream in the first place?
[15:01] SecondLie Scribe: M's vision was Monetizing and marketing a product that wasn't yet ready for prime time.
[15:02] Brookston Holiday: much like god
[15:02] GreyWolf Mornington: inginners.. ugh.. Engineers
[15:02] Kitsune Lassiter: What is Linden Labs going to to to help creators and help get SL economy back to what it was a year ago?
[15:02] don Berithos: who exactly do i contact about at ll about a major sailing group wanting to have a interactive secondlife display at rl event .
[15:02] Gwenette Writer: they do it over beer and pizza one told me ahha
[15:02] Kitsune Lassiter: lol
[15:02] Simeon Bookmite: jira is a graveyard
[15:02] Scarp Godenot: Let's realize that Second Life, being the biggest and first VR world, needs now to realize that their position of exclusivity is coming to an end. This is where they need to focus their efforts in my opinion.
[15:03] Slim Warrior: yes Scarp
[15:03] Namav Abramovic shouts: why isn't SL ready for prime time? I think it is
[15:03] don Berithos shouts: yes
[15:03] Slim Warrior: well not the 1st (
[15:03] SecondLie Scribe: WHO WANTS A SECONDLIE BEAR????? 
[15:03] Slim Warrior: Worlds .com was the 1st
[15:03] Jocelyn Pawpad: I've an open question for anyone on the panel who wishes to field it... what (if any) controls migh one reasonably put in place to minimise the chance of a repeat of Phillip appointing someone like M Linden... people who would have such a disruptive and detrimental effect on existing residents, the very same people who bought into Phillip's stated dream in the first place?
[15:04] Namav Abramovic shouts: I do want a bear
[15:04] Stuart Warf: Lets start a show called CEO Idol
[15:04] Gwenette Writer: One assumes that M followed Philip's wishes and guidelines. . .
[15:04] Slim Warrior: ahaha Stu
[15:04] Gwenette Writer: M may have gone overboard
[15:04] GreyWolf Mornington: Votes to bring back Pathfinder Linden to restore the faith of the Education and non-profit community
[15:04] Slim Warrior: I do think we shoudl have more than one CEO
[15:04] Chantal Harvey: lol stuart
[15:04] Wizard Gynoid: i think philip made the admission that they weren't profitable.
[15:04] Srilania Svoboda: Someone who knows SL, lives SL, and LOVES SL
[15:05] SecondLie Scribe deletes account and runs
[15:05] Delinda Dyrssen: I think its an extremely unique CEO role
[15:05] Reed Steamroller: Gianna says she would vote for ME
[15:05] Slim Warrior: sl users have become lindens
[15:05] Chantal Harvey: hahahahahaha
[15:05] Gianna Borgnine: ummm... NO
[15:05] Slim Warrior: and they then are so held by compnay policies that they ar enot able to achieve the things they wanted to in the 1st place
[15:05] Wizard Gynoid: carl metropolitan?
[15:05] Chantal Harvey: but a resident is a good idea
[15:05] Beyond Baroque: Actually it shoudl be a resident
[15:05] SecondLie Scribe: hire john z back from blue mars.
[15:05] Gwenette Writer: maybe more than ONE PERSON split the position???
[15:05] Slim Warrior: more than one woudl be far better
[15:06] don Berithos: on with some sort of future vision thats for sure ,
[15:06] Beyond Baroque: More than one CEO is a recipe for chaos

[15:09] Gwenette Writer: Is it about management or is it about creativity?? Management skills are all thin gs learned in the past from companies that are NOT necessarily breaking ground . . perhaps look to the companies that did/are breaking ground what are thier
management paradigms: Google, EBay ??

[15:09] Scarp Godenot: Eventually, the tier model will be less important than the 'sales tax' model of revenue generation. We have seen how much bigger the numbers are from sales than tier. This spread of monetary difference will continue to increase...

[15:18] Slim Warrior: Farmville is now on iphone..
[15:18] Delinda Dyrssen: People have lost thier jos becasue of farmville
[15:18] don Berithos: yea that think
[15:18] Srilania Svoboda: The issue is twitter and facebook caters to the less cerebral people. Most of us in SL don't do a lot
[15:18] labella Farella: ozimals= awsome
[15:18] truthseekrArtist Xevion: lol
[15:18] Wizard Gynoid: SL is not stoopid. that's why i am here.

[15:18] Taylor Danick: lol
[15:19] Chantal Harvey: lol
[15:19] Gwenette Writer: The question is do you want to cater to stupidity or do you want to create a market for a different type of consciousness??
[15:19] Kitsune Lassiter shouts: I have pocet metaverse on my iphone
[15:19] GreyWolf Mornington: At least we have some privacy. Facebook offers none of that
[15:19] Gwenette Writer shouts: The question is do you want to cater to stupidity or do you want to create a market for a different type of consciousness??
[15:19] Namav Abramovic: zynga is seeing explosive growth. farmville has 84 million users, over 1% of the population of Earth
[15:19] Taylor Danick: i removed myself from Facebook for that reason
[15:19] truthseekrArtist Xevion: use hypnosis, you can feel SL like it is rl if you get tranced into it.. and it is cool
[15:19] Elrik Merlin: In fact most applications on Facebook are worse than IE for security risk
[15:19] Chantal Harvey: <---has seen the big green bubble
[15:20] labella Farella: dang Loody
[15:20] labella Farella: lol

[15:20] Sophia Yates: could he repeat what he said about that?
[15:20] Elrik Merlin: Popularity is not the same as quality
[15:20] labella Farella: np=)
[15:20] Sophia Yates: I crashed lol
[15:20] Delinda Dyrssen: aaaack
[15:20] Scarp Godenot: Farmville is the 'known about' sl experience in my opinion. When bandwidth is much bigger and computers are faster. That is when 3D Virtual Worlds will be more relevant to the average Jane.
[15:20] truthseekrArtist Xevion: omg crashing
[15:20] Sophia Yates: SecondLie could you repeat what you said about Art and not being in the place it should be in SL?
[15:20] truthseekrArtist Xevion: it is a great way to escpae if you say you crashed and just poof
[15:20] Grey Nacht: I can show them a big green and red bubble at Pala or Greyhaven LoL

[15:21] SecondLie Scribe: it'll be i nthe recording stu posts
[15:21] Aleja Asturias: There is a lot of talk about Second Life and disability access... but not among people that actually care and can make a difference or be listened to, apparently
[15:21] truthseekrArtist Xevion: learned Alias Wavefront and that was 2000 and this is a miracle
[15:21] truthseekrArtist Xevion: SL
[15:21] SecondLie Scribe: i agree that disability access has taken a step backwards in v2... shows how disconnected the lab was under M and T
[15:21] GreyWolf Mornington: the informed know that Sl is much more than chat, poseballs and dancing, It's Education, charity and so much more
[15:21] truthseekrArtist Xevion: it blows my mind
[15:22] SecondLie Scribe: SL should be able to empower those with disabilities and restrictions put upon them by others.
[15:22] labella Farella: it felt like a marketplace
[15:22] truthseekrArtist Xevion: interactive 3=D in a virtual world...... AMAZING!
[15:22] SecondLie Scribe: Sl's welcome experience is now a goddamned mall
[15:22] labella Farella: unless you made something you have to leave secondlife
[15:22] SecondLie Scribe: hi monroe!
[15:22] labella Farella: thats how i felt
[15:22] truthseekrArtist Xevion: a mall..... oh let me show you beter places
[15:22] Atsuko Watanabe: yes, is making it almost manditory that you be abled
[15:22] truthseekrArtist Xevion: like the art galleries
[15:22] Slim Warrior: agreed Phaylen
[15:23] Srilania Svoboda: Secondlife Scribe, I AM disabled, and SL gives me a portal to some kind of life. I am actually happier in SL than RL would ever get for me
[15:23] truthseekrArtist Xevion: why is it all moobs go nuts with sex?
[15:23] Atsuko Watanabe: the number of places that refuse to even put in a ramp
[15:23] truthseekrArtist Xevion: noobs
[15:23] GreyWolf Mornington: but yet SL brings us virtual helping hands, virtual ability. show me that in Facebook or Farmville
[15:23] Jocelyn Pawpad: that was the big issue - a lot of people felt sidelined by Mark's direction
[15:23] Atsuko Watanabe: which is zero effort in SL
[15:23] Namav Abramovic shouts: how can we find your blogs and videos?
[15:23] Kitsune Lassiter shouts: no...I'm excited too Phaylen
[15:24] labella Farella: 2009 babies know nothing about SL!

[15:24] Taylor Danick: :x
[15:24] Srilania Svoboda: M Linden basicly acted more like the residents were a disease, and didn't cotton to the majority of people who actually pay the bills around here
[15:24] Elrik Merlin: My problem with M's reign was that the needs of existing residents seemed to be ignored in favour of nebulous non-existent potential clients
[15:24] Atsuko Watanabe: if deaf hard time often convincing people need for typing
[15:25] SecondLie Scribe: elrik - m linden was looking for user n+1 instead of caring what users n thought
[15:25] Slim Warrior: yes that too Phaylen
[15:25] labella Farella: v2 sucks for machinima we could take the ui off
[15:25] labella Farella: couldnt
[15:25] truthseekrArtist Xevion: omg
[15:25] SecondLie Scribe: atsuko - i am partially deaf, going deaf slowly.
[15:25] Sophia Yates: very!
[15:25] truthseekrArtist Xevion: not able to rez?
[15:25] Gwenette Writer: frightening yes the inexpereinced leading the creative effort to expand our world does seem ratehr moronic

[15:26] Namav Abramovic shouts: zynga is seeing explosive growth. farmville has 84 million users, over 1% of the population of Earth. If SL made it possible for residents to make similar games, then investment may come in to create games to compete with things like FarmVille

[15:27] Namav Abramovic: Atsuko, what should L do for people with disabilities?
[15:27] Jocelyn Pawpad: look, Im not going to shitcan Mark out of hand - I too work in marketing, but what I *do* know is that if you are going to treat residents as customers then you NEED to have a product the residents wish to purchase - Mark seemed not to think his existing market was worth consideration over the markets he *MIGHT* have got
[15:27] labella Farella: i can twitter on sl watch
[15:28] labella Farella: is watching a discussion
[15:28] Atsuko Watanabe: they could start with a ramp at the entrance to this forum

[15:28] Atsuko Watanabe: need to work with the guide dog group to get appropriate markers in the SL world
[15:28] Gianna Borgnine: lol

[15:30] Gwenette Writer shouts: it was just not ONE man there was a whole batch of folks that came in and DID NOT KNOW THE INTERFAC E and HOW it was used . . .
[15:30] Wizard Gynoid: hehe

[15:30] truthseekrArtist Xevion: is linden the only shared economic system?
[15:30] Wizard Gynoid: but why design the product so that when you log in from emerald you lose all your clothes???
[15:30] truthseekrArtist Xevion: that is global?
[15:30] labella Farella: i havent been on 2.0 in a while
[15:30] Reed Steamroller: advanced menu still won't come up in linux viewer :\
[15:30] Gwenette Writer shouts: it was NOT because it was an ignorant TEAM it was NOT MARK alone

[15:31] truthseekrArtist Xevion: QUESTION
[15:31] LOM Runner: I just DL 2.1 today
[15:31] truthseekrArtist Xevion: is linden the only shared economic system?
[15:31] LOM Runner: was going to try it later
[15:31] don Berithos: looks like a bandade
[15:31] labella Farella: its a great design
[15:31] Namav Abramovic shouts: Thanks Phaylen
[15:31] Atsuko Watanabe: am always afraid to upgrade
[15:31] truthseekrArtist Xevion: that is global beside gold?
[15:31] Atsuko Watanabe: takes forever to get bugs worked out
[15:31] truthseekrArtist Xevion: does any one know?
[15:31] labella Farella: it was just not consulted to residents
[15:31] SecondLie Scribe: RAWR ATTACK RAWR
[15:31] Sophia Yates: it depended on how you used sl as far as the client
[15:32] Scarp Godenot: For the viewer two lovers, why won't they consider adding the obvious improvements made by Emerald and others? That is the question, WHY don't they listen to the suggestions?
[15:32] Gwenette Writer: they wanted it out for the opening of Shanghai yes?? the timing was rather ahh perfect . . I think thye
expected a rush from the machinima there perhaps??

[15:32] Kitsune Lassiter shouts: Viewer 2.0 is so hard to use to build with...isn't that why many of us are here?
[15:32] Whirly Fizzle: They have added some Emerald stuff already. They are just a bit slow to do it.
[15:32] labella Farella: we were not involved in 2.0
[15:32] Reed Steamroller: i don't have much trouble building w/ 2.0
[15:33] Reed Steamroller: and it is a bit more intuitive
[15:33] Scarp Godenot: Try to write a script on viewer 2, where the line numbering is all gone...... what is with that?
[15:33] Kitsune Lassiter: I can't use it wellat all
[15:33] Grey Nacht: It is funny that the latest 2.0 release is an alpha release, not even a beta.
[15:33] Reed Steamroller: and while the advanced menu doesn't work in the linux version, voice does, and the camera constraints aren't all screwed up
[15:33] labella Farella: anyone know about an RC lol
[15:33] Bevan Whitfield: must hop - thanks for a very intriguing moment 
[15:33] Kitsune Lassiter: oh?

[15:35] GreyWolf Mornington: Kirstens Viewer had the same interface... runs smoother and includes favored emerald features like double-click TP's and Fast Alpha. why can't LL learn from this? this is because Kirsten is a user and understands the platform

[15:36] labella Farella: the sad thing is Torley has helped millions
[15:36] Scarp Godenot: Getting rid of Torley would be incredibly stupid and unpopular. How many people have used his tips and videos? MOST
[15:36] Atsuko Watanabe: with asbergers maybe an outline version should be avaliable
[15:37] Sophia Yates: lol i ki hate that
[15:37] Atsuko Watanabe: eliminate a lot of the eye candy
[15:37] Whirly Fizzle: lol
[15:37] Simeon Bookmite: having new users using viewer 2 while the old avoided it meant there was no one could show new people how to do anything usefull
[15:37] Scarp Godenot: Help, that is such a sorry sorry thing..... ha ha
[15:37] Jocelyn Pawpad: Torley is, like it or not, a popular lad. Getting rid of him would be a body blow to LL and they know it
[15:38] Atsuko Watanabe: 99% of help is user to user not formal system
[15:38] Srilania Svoboda: Shared Media is a dangerous thing that a lot of people don't want
[15:38] Chantal Harvey: pathfinder is equally popular, and so is blue
[15:38] GreyWolf Mornington: agreed chantal
[15:38] Reed Steamroller: if torley were fired.... some crazy resident would walk into the lab with bombs strapped to his chest

[16:38] Srilania Svoboda shouts: It's rampant in the Brazilian sector.
[16:38] Gwenette Writer shouts: solution may be a third party service that you CAN buy as creator if you want . . assuming LL can handle i think is not going to happen

[16:39] Kitsune Lassiter: I agree
[16:39] Reed Steamroller: I know I hear people constantly complain about content theft... but what would be the solution?
[16:39] labella Farella: they have put something up
[16:40] Gwenette Writer shouts: ummm well maybe LL solution was to blow off issue and make their own content to replace the creator brain drain??
[16:40] labella Farella: no?
[16:40] SecondLie Scribe: mesh may be part of the solution with licensing and identification and hidden layers
[16:40] Reed Steamroller: yep

[16:42] Reed Steamroller: what CAN they do?
[16:42] Whirly Fizzle: True Reed but it makes it a bit harder. If they are MAC banned all the time.
[16:43] Jocelyn Pawpad: Well, LL isnt coming to the party on this obviously - why are we not able to work with the framework and educate residents against using copybotted stuff for anything more than say, advertisments for creators products?
[16:43] Gwenette Writer shouts: well they tried the blocking of the viewers themself
[16:43] Reed Steamroller: whirly.... and then you can just spoof your mac address
[16:43] Kitsune Lassiter shouts: I agree
[16:43] Reed Steamroller: it becomes an arms race
[16:43] Reed Steamroller: with their residents
[16:43] Whirly Fizzle: It already is an arms race
[16:44] Reed Steamroller: so then.... whats the point?
[16:44] labella Farella: still?
[16:44] Gwenette Writer shouts: we need a THIRD PARTY SERVICE tnhat allows creators to somehow stop the export
[16:44] Whirly Fizzle: I would say it has improved slightly recently
[16:44] Kitsune Lassiter: this is whyI hesitate to create my stuff
[16:44] Srilania Svoboda shouts: Ban the brazillians. a LOT of the content theft is coming from there
[16:44] labella Farella: its improved from last year
[16:44] Whirly Fizzle: Yes
[16:45] Wizard Gynoid: ina centaur had all of her freebie star wars avatars removed, but there are tons of star wars avatars still on xstreet. the enforcement is ridiculous.
[16:45] labella Farella: really
[16:45] labella Farella: one sec
[16:45] Reed Steamroller: then the creators should find another way to monetize on their content OTHER THAN SELLING IT DIRECTLY
[16:45] Matthew Anthony: and then LL doesn't respond to the DMCAs 75% of the time (from my experience)
[16:45] Gwenette Writer shouts: remmeber hat originally there was NO currency in sl. the economy was developed at the demands of the residents. WE created the economy WE have to be responsible for policing all aspects of it im ho
[16:45] Jocelyn Pawpad: can DMCA notices be filed by representatives of the content creators, anyone?
[16:45] Whirly Fizzle: I think we have to be thankfull that the large majority of residents are honest...theres just a few bad apples
[16:46] Reed Steamroller: nothing is going to stop people stealing content. have you heard of thepiratebay.com
[16:46] Reed Steamroller: ?
[16:46] Kghia Gherardi: and each item stolen is addressed individually, isn't it?
[16:46] Kitsune Lassiter shouts: but how do creators know when they have been stolen from?
[16:46] Reed Steamroller: kitsune, when they're lucky enough to come across it in world.
[16:46] Srilania Svoboda shouts: Emerald is working on that, with Onyx
[16:46] Sophia Yates: lol
[16:46] Kitsune Lassiter: crap
[16:46] Whirly Fizzle: Usually, its customers that let you know. They spot it
[16:47] Gwenette Writer shouts: you do N OT know unless you SEE it elsewhere
[16:47] Reed Steamroller: hence the stroker suit...
[16:48] Whirly Fizzle: ..and the speed rezzer one...
[16:48] Reed Steamroller: stroker is an ass
[16:48] Jocelyn Pawpad: can DMCA notices be filed by representatives of the content creators, anyone? because if so, we might see an entrepreneurial spirit setting up a IP prosecution unit to enforce IP rights (kind of like an X-Street which ultimately LL would have to buy out)?
[16:49] Reed Steamroller: lol
[16:49] Kitsune Lassiter: lol
[16:49] Saffia Widdershins: No, Jocelyn
[16:49] Saffia Widdershins: It has to be the creator
[16:49] Gwenette Writer shouts: I think that is not reasonable . . . we need to be proactive and as a group of creators contract a software developer to make a sw tool that interfaces with viewer/grid and then offer it to LL to install . . . perhaps we expect too much in too many areas from LL??
[16:50] Gwenette Writer shouts: exactly!! and hardly anyone does that. . .
[16:50] Kitsune Lassiter shouts: But it is copyright the second you make it
[16:50] Jocelyn Pawpad: copyright exists at the point of creation
[16:51] Gwenette Writer: KIT not the same as actual filing re: credibility
[16:51] LOM Runner: but should it be like creative commons?
[16:51] Kitsune Lassiter: exactly Joycelyn
[16:51] Kitsune Lassiter shouts: it is
[16:51] Jocelyn Pawpad: errrr, they have creation dates
[16:51] Wizard Gynoid: common law copyright --> Copyright (c) 2010 Wizard Gynoid
[16:51] labella Farella: mail it to yourseelf
[16:51] Kghia Gherardi nods in agreement with Saffia
[16:51] labella Farella: yes
[16:51] Jocelyn Pawpad: they HAVE creation dates
[16:51] Gwenette Writer shouts: the PROOF taht you created it FIRST is a papaerwork trail
[16:51] amelie Ragu: yes
[16:51] Kitsune Lassiter shouts: you can spoof dates
[16:52] Reed Steamroller: i take it as a compliment 
[16:52] Reed Steamroller: when that happens
[16:52] Simeon Bookmite: agrees with Gwenette
[16:52] Reed Steamroller: yeah
[16:52] Reed Steamroller: and they hit those guys with a hammer
[16:52] Reed Steamroller: kaboom
[16:52] Reed Steamroller: half hour
[16:52] amelie Ragu: in france you hace (INPI for mark and SACEM for music)
[16:52] Srilania Svoboda shouts: Burn it on a DVD, mail the DVD to yourself, and leave it sealed. that usually will cover you
[16:52] Gwenette Writer shouts: I do not mean dates inworld I mean in papers filed with feds copyright office
[16:53] amelie Ragu: have*
[16:53] Brookston Holiday: I think that has more to do with you being Gianna Borgnine, not your paperwork.
[16:53] Reed Steamroller: we're FIC
[16:53] Reed Steamroller: 
[16:53] Whirly Fizzle: Ive seen avis banned within an hour just on an AR on a copybotter
[16:53] Gwenette Writer shouts: umm feted inner circle at work hahaha
[16:53] Kitsune Lassiter shouts: really Whirly?
[16:53] Matthew Anthony: Gianna: I filed a DMCA in October that has never been responded to. Same with others that have been filed months ago
[16:53] Brookston Holiday: me 2
[16:53] Reed Steamroller: they know better than to let us sit and wait
[16:53] Reed Steamroller: i'm j/k btw
[16:53] Whirly Fizzle: Not always Kitsune, but Ive personally seen it twice.
[16:54] Wizard Gynoid: june doesn't bother anymore. she just talks to them.
[16:54] Kitsune Lassiter: wow
[16:54] amelie Ragu: great
[16:54] Gwenette Writer shouts: u act professional THEY act professional FILE FILE FILE
[16:54] LOM Runner: but with the quickly evolving 3D, should copyright be like dog years?
[16:55] Kghia Gherardi: that doesn't help the content creator recover from the impact of having others steal and sell their work
[16:55] labella Farella: I'm trying to find the realse they did it had something about IP theft
[16:55] LOM Runner: I mean, using builds from 2003 would look cheesy
[16:55] labella Farella: was a while back
[16:55] Kghia Gherardi: they have still lost money and time
[16:55] Whirly Fizzle: The beta program?
[16:55] Gwenette Writer shouts: mommy daddy take care of me hahaah
[16:55] labella Farella: they put in some type of policy in
[16:55] Reed Steamroller: welcome to the internet, there are no take backs.
[16:55] Reed Steamroller: even here in SL.
[16:55] Whirly Fizzle: Yes..Ill find it. I think I know what you mean
[16:56] Stuart Warf: (If i poof, SL logged me out while uploading the panel discussion cos of insufficient bandwidth)
[16:56] Jocelyn Pawpad: and Phaylen... if I may.... ANYONE who finds themselves in the posession of copied content and they like the items enough to use them... FIND the original genuine creators and BUY the genuine article.
[16:56] Kghia Gherardi: and this is why some of the most creative people in SL will not stay.

[17:09] Kitsune Lassiter: that is not good
[17:09] Whirly Fizzle: Thats right
[17:09] Whirly Fizzle: Yes
[17:09] Reed Steamroller: yeah
[17:10] Kitsune Lassiter: I could see that would be bad....very bad
[17:10] amelie Ragu: may b for protect all creations slx do do something?
[17:10] Brookston Holiday: Pixeleen Mistral?
[17:10] Reed Steamroller: whats the point of propigating an arms race?
[17:10] Reed Steamroller: that was my question
[17:10] Reed Steamroller: that is a steep price for education
[17:11] Jocelyn Pawpad: that was me
[17:11] Brookston Holiday: Brilliant idea Saffia. I like that a lot.
[17:11] Reed Steamroller: that makes sense... change the business model.... like valve's steam
[17:11] Reed Steamroller: platform
[17:12] labella Farella: yup
[17:12] Jocelyn Pawpad: What i decided after bing given the grave skin was to go and buy a similar Redgrave and use that
[17:12] Brookston Holiday: Because it's hard 
[17:12] Kitsune Lassiter: no mor fees
[17:12] labella Farella: this charging crap
[17:12] labella Farella: wth
[17:12] Whirly Fizzle: lol..Mesh import will bering so much more content theft. People will be importing in 3D models from Daz, turbosquid etc & reselling without the license to do so
[17:12] Whirly Fizzle: *bring
[17:12] labella Farella: mesh is more theft
[17:12] labella Farella: kinda
[17:13] Kitsune Lassiter: I agree Whirly
[17:13] labella Farella: from people who are not in sl
[17:13] Reed Steamroller: mesh isn't going to bring more content theft.
[17:13] Whirly Fizzle: Oh sure
[17:13] Brookston Holiday: Gabillion?
[17:13] Reed Steamroller: lol assuming
[17:13] labella Farella: lol
[17:13] Whirly Fizzle: It happens now tho. You can chop up obj models & import & remake. Ive seen a lot in sl already
[17:13] Reed Steamroller: ALLEGEDLY
[17:13] labella Farella: i like my alias =/
[17:14] Jocelyn Pawpad: you NEED to create an environment where that kind of outcome is more comon - it will neuter content theft as a concern because it turns the copybotted content into an advertisment for the genuine content if people are inclined to use it to determine what they would buy
[17:14] labella Farella: it ryhmes
[17:14] Brookston Holiday: ME TOO
[17:14] Reed Steamroller: it will be.
[17:14] labella Farella: Labella Farella
[17:14] Reed Steamroller: whats a mesh?

[17:14] labella Farella: love phaylen <3
[17:14] Brookston Holiday: Let the women folk talk he says....
[17:14] Whirly Fizzle: Any word on the size of meshes that will be allowed to be imported? How many polys?
[17:15] Reed Steamroller: i've actually brought that up w/ the dev team.... about how there will be a mesh penis and it will be their fault
[17:15] Kitsune Lassiter: jiggly bits! 
[17:15] labella Farella: she crash?
[17:15] amelie Ragu: when you can copy a texture with emerald....
[17:15] Reed Steamroller: it will decrease lag if the content creator knows what they're doing
[17:15] Chantal Harvey: hey crap
[17:15] Kitsune Lassiter: uh oh

~smirks~ AND SAYS TO ONESELF "WELL WASN'T THAT EDUCATIONAL!"
These notes are incomplete since I arrived around 30 minutes late but I think what the transcripts and the audio reveals is enough for everyone to get what's on peoples minds and what others know and what others do not know. It's a dirty sandbox and it needs cleaning. More like a litter box I guess you could say.
I wish I had more time to spend on all this but summer is here I have real life to tend to and well today just gave me better reason to take time off. I'm finishing up a few films and will post them as soon as I'm done but to complete them means SL has to behave. i can't stay logged in long enough to see the wonderful sites of the SL7B so I spent my time doing this and now I'm off to enjoy the day.
If anyone missed the discussion well i did my best to get you what you missed.
