I mentioned yesterday in an article about Utherverse that those guys have application sharing for their virtual world platform, but that there’s nothing equivalent for Second Life and OpenSim, except through third-party services.
By coincidence, I was cleaning out my in-box yesterday, and found a link to just such a service: Screenleap. It’s free, and takes just a second to set up. Shambles' presentation at TEDx BKK 2010. Resources. Large Event Preparation. Large Event Preparation There are a few things you can do to prevent that a large scale event involving many avatars on the sim will turn out to be a stuttering lag monster.
Be aware that only one badly configured avatar can stop all movement on the entire sim. 1. Strip your avatar from any unneeded scripted parts, any fancy microprim jewels or microprim hair. I know, we all want to look good but each prim and prim texture has to be drawn by the sim server. 2. Watch Your Scripts Attaching complex objects TO YOUR AVATAR. Here is the list of performance killers: Virtuelle Verdener. Duran Duran's Olympics Opening Show for Four Billion Viewers Expected to Feature Second Life. Duran Duran has had an official presence in Second Life since 2006, which a lot of SLers have known, but here's some other people who will get a glimpse of what they do in SL: basically, the whole fricking world. This is because Duran Duran will perform in the opening ceremony of the Olympics next week, on July 27th, and their onstage act is expected to incorporate SL machinima from Duran Duran island, displayed on the big screens behind them. So Olympics viewers will see the place in SL with the giant lipstick and a Duran Duran dirigible and now (as the above suggests) avatars getting into an Olympic frame of mind.
Jokaydia - OpenSimWorlds2011. Abyss Observatory. ScienceSim land grants announced. Press release: Fashion Research Institute Announces ScienceSim Land Grant Program Awardees New York, NY – Fashion Research Institute has been collaborating with Intel Labs since 2009, helping to push the limits of content development, and overseeing the Science Sim Land Grant Program.
The program consists of awards of campuses of four ‘supersized’ 3D volumes called regions, which can support 100,000 primitive units. These campuses are awarded for a six-month period to educators, scientists, and researchers who wish to explore using OpenSim for their work, and who need the power and control of their projects that a campus provides them. The campuses are provided for nine months beginning September 1, 2011 and ending June 30, 2011. The 2011-2012 awardees, in alphabetical order: The Abyss Observatory. Shamblesguru (Chris Smith) Bio.

In Second Life, the British designer Graham Dartmouth is a well-known and experienced expert in the matter of 3D modelling and texturising.
Since a long time, he is taking active part in developing and invention of Meshes in SL. Graham shared his knowledge about this vast field of topics in classes at the respected inworld school Builders Brewery. There I also had the opportunity to participate on his introduction lecture "Meshes and You". I consider Graham's presentation for so infomative and easy to understand that I asked Graham for permission to translate it into German. Thanks to Graham's generous permission, I'm able to provide the original English essay here as well. So what are meshes and how do they vary from sculpties?
Actually, the entire grid is made up from meshes, you can see this if you switch your viewer to wireframe mode (PC: Ctrl + Shift + R, Mac: CMD + Shift + R). Everything on the grid (apart from avatars) is made from the basic SL building block, the humble cube. Nick Zwart. 3D Learning Experience Services.
