"The process is simple. Applicants get a set of papers to sign — basically saying they won’t share their access codes with anybody else — and then add a few lines enabling Vivox to their OpenSim .INI file. The voice never actually passes through the simulator — the voice stream goes directly from the viewer, to the Vivox data centers, and back again — so there is no additional load on the region."

"My basic point was that, right now, Second Life as a product for educators is actually dead unless something dramatically changes with the strategy of Linden Labs — which always remains unclear. With the increasing stability of OpenSim and the proliferation of grids, there is no real reason to pay a dime to Linden Labs for a virtual world experience."

"OpenSim Mobile is a project that seeks to provide access to virtual worlds (OpenSim based) from mid/low-range mobile devices. Created under J2ME using LWUIT library, we provide a unique user experience for these devices."

"An emerging virtual world platform is the destination of droves of emigrant avatars, as a price hike and the shutdown of the teen-only grid have prompted an educator exodus away from Second Life."

"One of the common problems I hear about OpenSim is that if you create a private grid, you’ll have to create all your content from scratch. That was the case a couple of years ago, when OpenSim was still new, but for most users, this is no longer the case."

"Enterprises rolling out new OpenSim grids are often concerned about security issues of running OpenSim, and justifiably so. OpenSim is alpha software and still poses some security challenges. However, the security level of a particular OpenSim deployment depends quite a bit on how it is configured."

"Can’t wait for Oscar night? I know I can’t. So here at Hypergrid Business we’re doling out our own awards. First, a little video introduction. This is a little sailboat trip that OpenSim’s own Bri Hasp took across a few virtual worlds. Yes, it is now possible to sail a boat from one virtual world to another without logging in again."

"However, according to John Hurliman the version of the OpenMetaverse library currently being used by OpenSim has a problem dealing with at least one of the new inventory packets in the 2.0 Viewer.  This means that it’s not impossible that using the viewer with OpenSim today could inadvertently destroy some of your inventory items."

"This blog is all about discussing architecture and design in virtual worlds – so lets discuss it! What’s up with Blue Mars? How is Architecture Islands in OpenSim coming along? What’s the coolest new architecture-related build in Second Life? What about Unity3D – have you tried it yet? So many platforms, so little time.."

"University of California at Irvine professor Christa Lopes (”Diva Canto”) has released an OpenSim distribution already pre-configured with most popular settings, saving a potential grid operator hours of work getting all the settings right."

Good review of ready made options to run the OpenSim virtual world server.

"I recently decided to see what the big deal was about OpenSim. After initially installing it on my desktop computer and connecting to it with the latest Release Candidate viewer, I decided to try to set it up on an inexpensive hosting account to see how feasible it was to run a real sim live on the Internet. Today's blog post talks a bit about how I did it, it's not a how-to guide, and you'll probably need to be a bit of a Linux geek to follow along, but hopefully you find it interesting."

"You've probably read a bit about Open Sim, the BSD-licensed virtual world server, and recent news that IBM and Linden Lab are working to make Second Life and Open Sim interoperable. Besides that project, what's Open Sim about, who's working on it, what are they doing with it, and how do you get involved as a developer and participant? Here's a starter's guide, created with the help of Tish Shute, whose virtual world blog UgoTrade is an indispensable resource on the latest in Open Sim news."

"One small teleport for avatars, one giant leap for virtual worlds is how Second Life is viewing the first crossing of its members between platforms. While not quite the equivalent of finding a parallel universe or landing on the moon, the achievement is a significant one for Linden Lab’s partnership with IBM."

"This is a historic day for Second Life, and for virtual worlds in general. IBM and Linden Lab have announced that research teams from the two companies successfully teleported avatars from the Second Life Preview Grid into a virtual world running on an OpenSim server, marking the first time an avatar has moved from one virtual world to another."

"Today IBM and Linden Lab are announcing basic avatar teleportability across the Second Life Preview Grid and an OpenSim virtual world server."
