Greetings from FOO
You know you are up to no good when you don't post a blog entry in over week - but more on that later...
Spending the weekend in Sebastopol at the Friend's of O'reilly campout. I had the pleasure to attend a
couple of years ago, and it's been great to catch up with some of the great people I met at FOO #1. Later today I am going to be doing a session called "My Life in the Matrix: one player's experiences in the ever expanding world of
MMORPGs", The plan is to spend a few minutes looking at three current
MMOs - World of Warcraft, Star Wars Galaxies and my latest *
cough* addiction *
cough* Second Life. The rest of the time will be open discussion about what else we might expect from these emerging virtual worlds as they continue to grow more popular. Last night
Cory from Linden Labs and I decided to partner up for our session as he is going to talk about
Second Life's lessons to date of building a completely user-created online world, from technical, legal, economic and community perspectives. This should be a lot of fun, as games seem to be a running theme at this year's gathering.
I'm running off to another session, but will hope back on later for further FOO news. In the meantime you can see all sorts of
pics here.
