| =Purpose=
| | This is a placeholder for this page. |
| Serious technical discussion about Linden Lab's [[Architecture Working Group|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 [[User:Zha Ewry|Zha Ewry]]), but the criterion is simple. Show up and contribute to the AWG, at [[User:Zero Linden|Zero Linden]]'s office hours, or on the Wiki, or on SL-Dev.
| |
| | |
| =Activities=
| |
| Currently, we seem to be meeting once or twice a week in-world, and the group IM chat has been quite lively.
| |
| | |
| 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:
| |
| * http://openmv.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/archwg/
| |
| | |
| Contact anyone with root on openmv.org for an account if you are in the AW Groupies group in-world.
