Second Life Federal Government Consortium
Speaking of government involvement in virtual worlds, check out today’s announcement:
“There will be a U.S. Federal Government consortium organizational meeting for Second Life in Washington DC, July 11th from 1:00-4:00 at the National Defense University. The consortium hopes to find ways to share resources, work collaboratively on projects, streamline funding and contracting processes, etc. Eric Hackathorn from NOAA has agreed to present to the group on the processes NOAA used to get up and running in Second Life, where they are now, and where they are headed. Also invited is a representative from OPM to discuss a process for contracting through OPM where the government could create joint or individual project contracts for Second Life and virtual worlds. In addition, we can also begin to plan a one-day event for the first part of November.”
I should probably spend a little time preparing for that presentation…
bah, preparation is for people with only one life….
