Open Grid Public Beta/FAQ

General Questions

Please see IBM/Linden Lab Interoperability Announcement

Who is the Beta Program intended for?

Developers of virtual worlds who would like to enable their users to teleport between their platforms and regions on the Second Life Beta Grid.

How do I sign up?

Please send a request to sign up for the beta mailing list.

I'm not a developer, should I sign up?

The Beta Program is intended for developers. Teleport will be enabled only for a subset of regions on the Second Life Beta Grid and participating developers. Your inventory will not come with you, and you'll appear as the 'ruthed' or default avatar on external virtual world regions.

I'm an OpenSim developer, what should I do?

OpenSim is integrating a patch by Zha Erwy that implements the OGP stack. You can find the patch at the OpenSim extensions repository

I've set up my OpenSim region, how do I teleport to it from the preview grid?

See the teleport How_To .

I'm having problems teleporting from the preview grid to my OpenSim region. What should I do?

See the troubleshooting instructions.

I'm not able to connect to my hosted region localy.

This is a known issue at this time and is being worked on.

Can I teleport to an OpenSim running in grid mode?

As of this writing, the patched OpenSim source will work in standalone mode. If you want to work on supporting login to an OpenSim server attached to a grid please see the OGP stack patch project (above.)
