Opensim under the surface: May 2009
http://tr.im/nbRd Opensim under the surface: May 2009 I would like to start the first of a monthly feature - some explanations of what's going on under the surface of OpenSim. But wait, you may ask; doesn't Justin already provide excellent weekly reports on what's been committed? Of course - where this differs is in the level of detail, particularly on infrastructure projects. Justin does a weekly feature which means he only has time and space to report on features in bullet form. Where I plan to differentiate with these posts is in the details - not only what has been committed, but also where it is going. |

Comparing OpenSim with Second Life
http://tr.im/n7zY Comparing OpenSim with Second Life Both OpenSim Grids and SL allow you to do cool enough stuff. You can do all the Top10 cool things on SL on OpenSim in one way or another. So the issue for me is more about where are these things headed for the future? RECOMMENDED Comparison ! |

ReactionGrid
http://tr.im/n7tC "Say I was a school or company and needed a virtual world for internal use only. No hypergridding, nothing fancy, just running it on my own internal servers for my own internal staff and students. No outsiders, no weird sex stuff, no people with animal shapes. With OpenSim, I can do this now. In fact, I can buy a preconfigured appliance from ReactionGrid (USA) with OpenSim already preconfigured, my choice of regions (historic sites? conference centers? school rooms?) loaded up, and with support and upgrades included to boot."

Is SecondLife an alternative for OpenSim users?
http://tr.im/n7sr Is SecondLife an alternative for OpenSim users? In planning the location of an upcoming event, I started thinking: could SecondLife be an alternative to OpenSim? Sure, I’ve been to Second Life for occasional events, but I’ve never considered it as a serious platform for business. My company grid in OpenSim is for staff meetings, and meetings with interns. Some of my interns are students. If they’re under 18, I can’t bring them to a location in Second Life. And, of course, if I set up a second location on the Second Life teen grid, neither I nor my other staffers would be able to join them there. So okay, I can’t move my company region over ... BUT ... (Is SecondLife on the hypergrid? Hold on, I’ll check — no, it’s not.) |

D-GiG
http://magrathean.ca/project/dgig D-GiG is s standalone simulator based on the OpenSim project and built on top of Mandriva Toronto Linux which gives the ability to re-spin the distribution into my own liking with configuration files plus the ability for hardware detection. Once booted you have access to a fully functional SecondLife compatible simulator. You can control it from your browser. You can build, upload textures, terraform, and many other things available in regular SecondLife. This project allows you to save the prim data from your builds in a nice XML file that you can save on your machine, email to your friends and very soon be able to upload into SecondLife itself effectively marking this project as the first effective offline building tool for the masses. Enjoy it, because it's completely free. |

OpenSim Easy User Guide
http://tinyurl.com/5m4ut2 OpenSim Easy User Guide OpenSim - Install and Configuration Tutorial "What this means, essentially, is that you can run your own simulator, or ’sim’ on fairly modest hardware. Yes, go ahead and read that again - I’ll wait. Now you HAVE to be excited (I sure was), if you’ve used such things before, because everyone I’ve ever known who has tried Second Life has always wanted a nice simulator they could run on their own, that didn’t depend on connecting to the Linden Lab Grid." |

OpenSimulator at Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSimulator OpenSimulator at Wikipedia "OpenSimulator, often referred to as OpenSim, is an open source server for hosting virtual worlds similar to Second Life. OpenSimulator uses libsecondlife to handle communication between the client and server, so it is possible to connect to an OpenSim server using the Linden Lab Second Life client. Other clients for Second Life are also interoperable, since Second Life and Opensim use the same communication protocols." |
