Hippotropolis

The Hippotropolis region was established to provide a meeting place for developers and residents interested in improving the open source code of the Second Life Viewer.

Locations

Currently, the land is divvied up among:

• Linden Open Source team HQ, which includes
  • event and meeting area
  • in-world offices for some Lindens
  • open source info kiosks
• Public Sandbox
• 2007 Innovation Award (Hippo) Winners prize parcels
  • See winners announcement for names

Covenant

The Linden Open Source Estate is a gathering place for residents interested in developing and improving the open source code of the Second Life Viewer. We encourage a respectful and open exchange of ideas.

Uses

This is a gathering place for sldev members and residents interested in open source. It is a public region, so the general public will pass through as well. Community members should feel free to use this space to meet in-world to work on SL open source issues or just hang out.

I also hope the community will help us build out this space to be more valuable and interesting. If you have ideas, please add them to the Discussion page.

Desired Features

Some things we'd like to see live here:

• Mobilize the non-technical enthusiast to be a casual contributor.
  • In-world, at OSS HQ and elsewhere, station signs that when clicked will take user to a pJIRA page filtered for bugs with less than 2 comments.
  • The sign would also provide a notecard on how to effectively repro bugs and help out with pJIRA. Can something like this be done?
• Other ideas?
