There’s been a bit of drama in the SLED community about the introduction of Windlight and it’s impact on educators who are trying to use Second Life within institutions with hardware and bandwidth limitations. I know this issue has affected some jokaydians, so I thought I’d let everyone know about the information session that Linden Labs are holding over at the NMC Conference Centre this week. Claudia Linden has just posted on the SLED List….
In response to all the conversation recently about educators and WindLight, we’ll be holding a few inworld informational sessions with Pastrami Linden.
Pastrami will discuss: “How to optimize the latest viewers for older hardware (Hint- they will be even faster than the old ones!)”
- Venue: New Media Consortium will host the first session – Muriel Cooper Coliseum on NMC Conference Center island. (Slurl)
- Date and Time: Friday, April 18th, 3 pm SL/PST
- Check your local time here.
