Hippotropolis is the Linden-sponsored home for the open source Second Life Viewer project and other open source community efforts.

We would like to see this single island expand into an archipelago (hippo-pelago, if you'll forgive the phrase) of open-source-centric projects and groups from across the Second Life world. Please consider the proposal below and add your responses and ideas to the Discussion tab above.

Hippotropolis Estate 2008

Currently one island. Will add regions to the estate as needed. See map below.

Meeting Area

Make this available to other groups.

FOSS Expo Parcel

Invite other free/libre open source software groups and projects to put up a kiosk to share info, builds, meet etc.

Also, offer free moves to interesting groups who we'd like to become part of the Hippopelago, i.e., put their island next to ours.

Hippo Award winners' parcels

Current winners' individual parcels
Past winners' shared parcels

Linden open source info center

For displaying information of relevance to the open source community, e.g. Zero's AWG slides.

Linden Offices

Currently only Liana Linden.
Invite more Lindens
