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. 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.


Weekly In-world Discussions
