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.
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:
Contact anyone with root on openmv.org for an account if you are in the AW Groupies group in-world.
Architecture Working Group meetings
- AWG I annual meeting transcript, participants' responses, etc
- AWG II annual meeting transcript, video, participants' responses, etc
In-World Meetings
Meetings are scheduled via the "SL AW Groupies" google calendar"
- XML
- ICal
- Calendar ID: pdd5mpktklo89bgmfgi076mcc4@group.calendar.google.com
- Add to your Google Calendar
Meeting Agendas
Each meeting should have an agenda --- which will be distributed via
- google calendar entry
- in-world notice to the SL "AW Groupies" group
- the AW Groupies In-World Meeting Agenda wiki page
Chat Logs
Chat logs of the in-world meetings are published and accessible via the links below:
- 2007 meetings
- 2008 meetings
- Zero Linden's Office Hour Transcripts
- Which Linden's Office Hour Transcripts
- OpenSim chat logs
- mono beta meeting discussion of het-grid
(if you post chat logs, you might want to use the sllog2wiki perl script to turn them into a more readable wiki table format ready to copy & paste into the chat log page)
Chat logs of AWGroupies meetings should be summarized on the wiki.
Viewpoint Advocacy Groups
Viewpoint Advocacy Groups - groups to focus on specific requirements.
AWG-specific VAGs
- Core Grid Services, Protocols, and Structures VAG
- Event Scalability VAG
- Geometry and Physics VAG
- Live Performances VAG
- Quality Assurance VAG
- Scalability VAG
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.
General Concerns
Communications
Documenting current protocols
AWG and citizen pages
- Current_login_protocols
- Current_Sim_Capabilities
- Example_protocol_code
- Hegemons_Login_Analysis#Very_simple_C.23__server
- Litesim grid interop
Linden Lab pages
- "Satellite's Eye" view of the Second Life architecture from a service disruption POV
- Message_System_and_Capabilities
- Viewer_Authentication
- Viewer_Architecture
- Protocol
- LLSD
- Certified_HTTP_Escrow
- ImprovedInstantMessage
- client command line parameters and stuff
libsecondlife reference pages
opensim reference pages
Future Protocols
- deprecated in favor of:
- Second Life Grid Open Grid Protocol (SLGOGP_Draft_1)
- Ongoing next generation protocols documentation effort by Linden Lab
Possible future directions
Asset Security
Scaling Issues
Other
Thinking-in-Progress
- Have a look and contribute to the brainstorming page.
- It's early days on the Multi-Process Client VAG -- draft, but we would highly appreciate input to help with design choices and direction.
