Purpose

Serious technical discussion about Linden Lab's Architecture Working Group (AWG). "AW Groupies" is an unofficial, Resident-operated group, though most (all?) members also participate in the AWG.

Invite only (apply in-world to Zha Ewry), but the criterion is simple. Show up and contribute to the AWG, at Zero Linden's office hours, or on the Wiki, or on SL-Dev or in the irc channel for the Python test client.

Activities

The main AWG meeting is held annually or semi-annually. We now meet up to 5 times a week in-world, counting AW Groupies meeting, Zero's office hours, Which's office hours and Enus's office hours.

Our main focus these days is on the Open Grid Protocol and the pyogp Python test harness for protocol testing.

Also members are quite active on the wiki and in the SLDEV mailing list.

A public SVN repository is open to all AW Groupies members here:

Contact anyone with root on openmv.org for an account if you are in the AW Groupies group in-world.

Work-In-Progress

Work-in-progress wiki pages are architecture pages that are (as the name implies ;-)) work in progress. Once the group has reached consensus that a particular topic is "good-to-go" we'll graduate that page to the main AWG page.
