About
AWG's mission is to develop the protocols that will open up the Second Life Grid from something operated solely by Linden Lab to where others can run parts of the grid.
- Linden Lab's overview of Architecture Working Group
- Learn more about scope, timeframe, getting started, process and best practices in About AWG.
Meetings
AWG Meetings
Formal meetings will likely be held 3-4 times/year and located in Second Life to facilitate broad participation. Meetings will be coordinated on SLDev.
- AWG Meeting 2 held 18 March 2008: Follow link for chat log, audio recording and other resources.
- AWG Meeting 1: Agenda, transcript, work items, participant responses and other resources.
Zero's Office Hours
Engineering Director Zero Linden hosts technical discussions about Second Life Grid development at his office hours 2x/week. Date, time, location and transcripts available at User:Zero Linden.
NB: Task-based work groups are encouraged to self-organize community meetings to move forward particular work areas and discuss hot topics as needed. See Resources below.
