[Hidden-tech] Hypergrid Entrepreneur Group meeting tonight -- on OSGrid

[Maria Korolov (Trombly)]

Tonight is the weekly Hypergrid Entrepreneur Group meeting, for people
interested in business on the virtual web.

Tonight's agenda:

*The upgrade from Grid 4 to Grid 5*: You can teleport from grids running 5
to grids running 4, but not the other way around. OSGrid is now on 5. Is it
stable enough to other grids to upgrade?

*Voice on the grid*: Jim Siler is working on getting VOIP enabled via
freeswitch -- that means that you can do a voice-enabled meeting in OpenSim
and allow other people to call into the meeting via telephone. Now there's a
mixed reality meeting!

*New hosting firm: *James and Amanda Hagarty, who've been running an SL real
estate company for a couple of years now, are moving into OpenSim hosting,
joining the VERY small number of existing hosting companies. They're
offering general OpenSim hosting, but particularly marketing four-region
private grids for folks new to OpenSim.

*New grid for entrepreneurs:* Jim, Dave and I have been hard at work setting
up ValleyGrid, a social meeting place for web 3D entrepreneurs. We've got a
free conference center for meetings, Jim is setting up voice as we speak,
and we're giving away free office space. It's a non-profit, guys, so if you
have skills or tools or items to donate, please do so! We'll be doing a tour
of the grid tonight. If you want to drop by early (or late), the hypergrid
teleport address is VALLEYGRID.ORG:9111  -- its in the upper regions, so you
can hop right in from OSGrid or FrancoGrid or Grid4Us, but you'll need to go
through HG Gateway 1 if you're coming from ReactionGrid.

Stop by if you're interested in getting free office space, in learning about
how to set up your own grid, or to hang out with other OpenSim
entrepreneurs.

The meeting is at 8 p.m. tonight eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific, and, if you're in
Shanghai, it's at 8 a.m. Friday morning (sorry, guys!).
