In addition to our regular Metaversed Geek Meets on Friday's, co sponsored with Dr. Dobb's Journal and InformationWeek, we'll be starting a new weekly spot today at 5pm SLT/PST, 1am GMT that will be voice enabled! That's right, geek speaks!
There are no plans to add formal speakers to the Tuesday voice meets, they're simply a fun, informal gathering of friends that like to talk about business and technology in virtual worlds. Discussions are led by InformationWeek's Mitch Wagner and myself, and cover a broad range of topics.
If you've never been to one of these, or are very new in Second Life and need a hand, IM 57 Miles (that's me..) in Second Life, or email nick@metaversed.com and I'll help you out. Metaversed meets are very newbie friendly, and everyone that attends welcomes newcomers to the group.
Where and When
Today's meet is at 5pm SLT/PST, 1am GMT at Rissa Maidstone's place [SLUrl].
The best way to make sure you make it though, would be to join the Metaversed group in Second Life. Just go to the Search, then the groups tab and key in Metaversed to find and join. I'll send out a notice later in the day.
Just holler if you need a hand!
Is this a cunning ploy to largely exclude Eurogeeks?
Or, at least, those with day jobs?
Hmmm... even West Coast Amerigeeks may be hard-pushed.
Why the strange time? I think we should be told? (I reckon I speak for VeeJay on this, too!)
Dont worry Aleister, i have plans for another regular day :)
This was moved from 6pm slt to 5pm, so that i could take on the organization of this one for the infoweek/dobbs guys -- they wanted one meet after work time west coast...
im killed today...
Sheesh! Good luck, Nick. Kick-off 2:00am CET? At least that's better than 3:00am CET. :-(
