What is Snowglobe?

Snowglobe is an Open Source development project for viewers that connect to the Second Life Grid. Goals include:

  • Encourage development of alternative viewers that create choice for Second Life Residents
  • Encourage research and innovation of new viewer functionality
  • Collaborate with the development community to incorporate patches that enhance the official Second Life viewer

Snowglobe (sometimes 'SG') is commonly used to refer specifically to the Snowglobe viewer.

Snowglobe 2 : Open Source Snowglobe branded viewer based off the Viewer 2.0 codebase:

  • viewer-external: the most recent exported viewer 2.0 code base is available off our viewer external svn repository
  • Snowglobe 2.0.1 trunk (Experimental): Windows Mac Linux (2.0.1.3401, June 2, 2010) (release notes)
    • Note that these trunk builds are from unstable bleeding-edge code, and may not function correctly. Consider them highly experimental, and please report any issues you have with them, either to the JIRA, or to the OSDev mailing list.

Source Code

Look at Version control repository for information about where to checkout the source code from with SVN.

Build Instructions

The Get source and compile page gives general information about how to compile the source. For a quick step-by-step instruction for building on Linux, see Compiling and Patching Snowglobe (Linux).

Features

Development

For an introduction to the goals of the Snowglobe viewer, see Philip's blog post: "Intensifying Open Source Effort" which describes our new approach to open source. See Philip's mail to sldev for a little bit more about the name.
