I spent a good portion of my weekend listening to presentations from some of Second Life's elite developers at the Life 2.0 convention (Metaversed coverage here) that runs through all this week put on by Dr. Dobb's. The highlights of the week long convention are yet to come, with a massive array of must see panels and sessions, but the weekend was for the developers, the builders, the folks that make our Second Live's more interesting, more beautiful and more productive. I saw almost all of the sessions and came away with a much better overview of the development potential within the virtual world and the feeling that try as I might, I'm not going to be able to resist delving deep into the code of the Metaverse - I'm a hacker at heart, and the weekends presentations by such notable developers and builders as Hiro Pendragon, Vymox Ming and Skidz Tweak and a chap from LibSecondlife.org who's name I forget, got me longing for the round the clock caffeine and code binges of years gone by...

As we move out of the weekend, the lineup of events, sessions and panels looks hot.. and Metaversed will be there to cover individual panels that fit with the business oriented news we cover here. One such panel is entitled "Second Life as a Platform" and Im hoping it will give us some insight into where this is all heading. Stay tuned..
