Topic: Special Guest, Dusan Writer
AJ Brooks: Hi everyone, and welcome to our Special Monthly meeting of the VWER. My special guest this week is DougThompson (SL: Dusan Writer)
Dusan Writer: hi!
AJ Brooks: We meet each Thursday at 2:30pm SLT for an hour here on the Montclair State CHSSSouth sim and have met every single week for over three years.
AJ Brooks: We get a wide variety of educators, from seasoned veterans to the newly rezzed.
AJ Brooks: The Virtual Worlds Education Roundtable is a forum to educate and inform the community about issues that are important and relevant to education.
AJ Brooks: This is a public meeting, so we will be keeping and publishing a transcript of what is said in local chat. If you've not seen our transcripts, you should check them out - they are an excellent information asset.
AJ Brooks: The transcripts can be found at our web site - http://www.vwer.org - select the LIBRARY tab at the top.
AJ Brooks: one thing you will notice is that we have transcribers who will capture the essences of what Dusan and I are saying and post it into the public chat.
AJ Brooks: This is for those who are not using voice chat as well as for our transcripts
AJ Brooks: The Virtual Worlds Education Roundtable continues to develop a community of educators from around the world with a variety of thoughts, needs, and ideas.
AJ Brooks: Please join the Virtual Worlds Education Roundtable group here in SL. If you are on Facebook, please join our group there - Virtual Worlds Education Roundtable.
AJ Brooks: You can also find and post pictures to our Flickr group and follow us on Twitter @VWER. When you blog or tweet, please remember to use the hashtag #vwer
AJ Brooks: Aside from our regular meetings in Second Life, as of late last year, the Virtual Worlds Education Roundtable started its own grid, which is being hosted by ReactionGrid.
AJ Brooks: Those on ReactionGrid, or on the same version of OpenSim, can hypergrid over to the VWERGrid.
AJ Brooks: If you are affiliated with an educational institution, you are also welcome to create your own account on the VWERGrid.
AJ Brooks: Information on how to get to the grid and/or create an account can be found at our web site - http://www.vwer.org under the VWERGrid option in the top toolbar.
AJ Brooks: Once a month we have a special meeting like this one, in voice chat. Normally we all sit around a big round table and everyone can participate in the conversation.
AJ Brooks: Although you are welcome to use the local chat as a back channel, know that Dusan and I will not necessarily be monitoring local chat.
AJ Brooks: If you'd like to make sure your questions gets asked, please use Google Moderator.
AJ Brooks: Google Moderator is a online forum where you can post questions, or vote on questions that are already posted. Our URL for that is http://bit.ly/vwermod
AJ Brooks: If you forget the URL, you can find it by clicking on the sign above the MSU sign behind me or the kiosks stage left and right.
AJ Brooks: As a reminder, as of our first meeting in May, the VWER will be hosted by Bowling Green State University (BGSU)
AJ Brooks: Our meeting on May 4th will take place in our new home on a BGSU sim. Detail of this will be released as we get closer to that date.
AJ Brooks: If you’ve never been to the BGSU sims, search them in MAP and go visit. Its quite amazing! I want to thank Bowling Green State University and especially Anthony Fontanta and Bonnie Mitchell.
Bushido Contepomi: There is a lot of distortion in your voice AJ
AJ Brooks: We are very excited about moving to our new home on the Bowling Green State Virtual Campus and look forward to sharing more on that with you very soon.

Profdan Netizen: DW: over time built a community.
Profdan Netizen: We all share a broader interest in what vw's mean
Profdan Netizen: and where they're going.
Profdan Netizen: Gathered once a week, to chat, much like here.

Tammy Nowotny: me & Jennett keep an eye on it
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: Do you keep histories of the chat?
Jennette Forager: That's my suggestion.
Bevan Whitfield: good evening
Profdan Netizen: DW: Used to keep histories, published, stopped, so people didn't feel the need to self censor.
Jennette Forager: Hey, Bevan!
Bevan Whitfield: hi!
Profdan Netizen: DW: Also, an incentive to be there in person.

Profdan Netizen: DW: Amazing how many volunteer.
Jennette Forager: Not often...
Discord Schism: very rare
Profdan Netizen: DW: biggest job is pulling questions from audience.
Jennette Forager: we help the newcomers and gently reprimand those who don't use broadcast-appropriate languge.
Profdan Netizen: DW: from the back chat.
Oronoque Westland: Backchat is sometimes like passing notes in class without being caught.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: Do you have someone who channels that sort of meeting...that's what I meant
Jennette Forager: Agreed, Oro.
Dusan Writer: haha
Discord Schism: we reserve all the abusive comments to private IMs

Profdan Netizen: DW: Bloomfield has a great talent juggling backchat and voice at the same time.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: I have trouble ignoring the backchat
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: You said there has been a change to Metanomics and you have widened the scope
Bevan Whitfield passes notes in class to everyone
Jennette Forager blushes.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: What are some of your favorite recent topics?
Zotarah Shepherd: Yay Jennette!
Profdan Netizen: DW: Kudos to Jeannette, she does a weekly community forum.
Profdan Netizen: DW: hot case studies, hot technology, interesting things being done,
Profdan Netizen: come to the community forums on Thursdays.
Jennette Forager: To paraphrase Eleanor Roosevelt, If something cool is happening, come sit in on the MCF.
Profdan Netizen: DW: the broadcast show has moved from learning about the future, and now widens scope to things like where does privacy play out, digital forgetting, bodies embedded with machines.
Profdan Netizen: DW: looking at lessons to broader culture, through prism of vws.
Jennette Forager: www.Metanomics.net
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: I'll ask Jeanette to post info into chat about the Th forum

Ignatius Onomatopoeia: ""Do you believe your research in virtual world economics have helped real world economics?"
Jennette Forager chuckles.
Jennette Forager: Bloomfield has used virtual spaces for multiple purposes.
Profdan Netizen: DW: Rob came into SL to see if you could study/research accounting/economics be studied here.
Profdan Netizen: DW: really couldn't without being LL.
Charles2 McCaw: in that case lets lower the cost of milk
Jennette Forager: FASRI meets here, Financial Accounting Standards Board.
Profdan Netizen: DW: couldn't control LL economy.
Jennette Forager: And now he is building a game called BOUNTY.
Profdan Netizen: DW: could do research within a virtual environment, thought.
AJ Brooks: post questions, or vote on questions posted, at http://bit.ly/vwermod
Profdan Netizen: DW: Everything learned about how thing work in VW can be applied to real world stuff.
Jennette Forager: Well put, Dusan.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: You were on a game technology panel at a recent conference? Tell us more.
Profdan Netizen: DW: Do a lot of presenting at conferences about work we do.
Profdan Netizen: DW: Gametech conference--see parallels between their community and education community.
Profdan Netizen: DW: seemingly opposite--military vs educating children.
Profdan Netizen: DW: issues similiar, security, accessibility, overcoming instituitional barrirers.
Profdan Netizen: DW: military work in VW very much education oriented.
Profdan Netizen: DW: cultural sensitivity training, environmental awareness.
Profdan Netizen: dW: military doing cutting edge work, with a game component, using xbox tech for combat simulation.
Profdan Netizen: DW: panel, future of VWs.
Profdan Netizen: DW: interesting discussion,
Jennette Forager: Broadcast is archived here: http://www.metanomics.net/show/march_24th_live_from_gametech_orlando_-_the_future_of_virtual_worlds/
Profdan Netizen: DW: VWs--range of tech expanding very rapidly, VW, game, simulation, 3D ed, boundaries blurring.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: so if the panel talked about the future of virtual worlds, what was the overall opinion?
Dusan Writer nods
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: With all the changes we have seen in virtual worlds, the past one has been the most active
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: We saw catastrophic changes in SL: layoffs, end of Teen Grid, cut of discounts for nonprofit and edu customers
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: Surge into OpenSim.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: A year ago, we'd not have predicted what has happened in just one year.
Charles2 McCaw: "floodgates out" yes, but size of alternatives worlds is still tiny
Profdan Netizen: DW: military one of biggest buyers of Enterprise, sim in a box solution.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: LOL Linden Lab pulls plug on military sims....F 18s bomb LL HQ IRL :)
Profdan Netizen: DW: and by military, a lot of different facets/divisions in military.
AJ Brooks: Make sure to vote for the questions that are already posted - vote for those you'd like to hear answered. post questions, or vote on questions posted, at http://bit.ly/vwermod
Profdan Netizen: DW: 2 dozen different military groups were/are heavily involved.
Delightful Doowangle: http://www.teamorlando.org/gametech/
Profdan Netizen: DW: military became very risk averse with SL, and virtual worlds.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: Our defense contractors who were here a few months back have gone over to OpenSim
Profdan Netizen: DW: invested more now in 8-10 different techs, sims/grids.
Profdan Netizen: DW: MMO platform called Better World.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: Weren't the military deeply involved in Fortera and Olive?
Profdan Netizen: DW: rather than being concentrated in one place, investments dispersed.
Delightful Doowangle: Forterra was bought by SAIC
ValentineBouquet Garnet: Great information!
Profdan Netizen: DW: long run--looking toward what solutions there will be with 3Dand the browser.
Tammy Nowotny: SAIC is a major defense contractor
Profdan Netizen: DW: Lockheed Martin--using web GL to deliver VW in browser at a massive scale.
Jennette Forager: http://science.dodlive.mil/2010/07/30/three-ways-virtual-reality-can-improve-military-training/
Profdan Netizen: DW: hosting thousands of avatars in a sim the size of a country!
Profdan Netizen: DW: currently not possible.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: In my Doctoral work, games and simulations are big part of what is going on
Discord Schism: a lot of the newer MMOs out there can pretty much facilitate those kind of numbers
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: We don't know about classified research in these areas
Bushido Contepomi: Question: "What is more important to you: Making Money, or Helping Others?"
Dusan Writer: helping others!
Tomkin Euler shivers...
Bushido Contepomi: <3
Dusan Writer: it's not worth the money :P
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: A year ago, it made the news about recruiting centers with simulators for potential recruits
Profdan Netizen: DW: blurring boundaries, you can get massive simulations, now but are tehy VWs?
Profdan Netizen: DW: persistence is the key for being a VW.
Delightful Doowangle: Another conference held in Orlando has lots of VW activity http://www.iitsec.org
Profdan Netizen: DW: an important differentiation.
Profdan Netizen: DW: simulation as an ed tool powerful, but a quite different thing than VWs.
Jennette Forager: Good point.
Charles2 McCaw: great point
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: SimplyStephen has a few other Qs posted, but here is one
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: "Do you believe that your work has helped or harmed the Second Life comunity?"
Discord Schism: FIC! :P
Profdan Netizen: DW: I hpe it's helped.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: @Discord, do not mention She-who-must-not-be-named here ;P
Profdan Netizen: DW: Came to SL because I was looking for Spore, loves games, Simcity on a DOS machine.
Tomkin Euler: he tripped and fell into SL..
Profdan Netizen: DW: Rosedale had mentioned Spore, so checked out SL, thinking an elaborate Sim city
Profdan Netizen: DW: Metanomics showed me real educators and business people here.
Profdan Netizen: DW: a place to support each other.
Profdan Netizen: DW: believer in main grids.
Profdan Netizen: DW: Community really important to what SL is all about.
Bushido Contepomi: gives Dusan a big *HUG* lol:)_
Jennette Forager: :D
Tomkin Euler: :0)
Dusan Writer: hehe :)
Dusan Writer hugs Bushi back :P
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: next Q might be a misreading of something said earlier,
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: "Do you really believe that human beings are going to accept robot's controlling our lives?"
Dusan Writer: A: God, I hope not
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: FWIW, this is a HUGE fear in my current class on cyberspace (Iggy's class)
Jennette Forager: Michael Chorost? Ray Kurzweil.
Malburns Writer: Partnership with technology does not mean control necessarily
Dusan Writer: Chorost was our guest on this topic
Jennette Forager: Good point, Mal.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: Kurzweil notes that he is working on a pacemaker that will text the doc
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: Implantable cyber may not be so far off...but it's not quite like robots controlling us
Charles2 McCaw: Is Kurzweil working on it or just thinking about it?
Profdan Netizen: DW: A version of tech becoming so powerful that we cannot understand it is likely to take place.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: Go read Anderson's book Feed
Bushido Contepomi: Hahaha
Profdan Netizen: DW: becoming embedded in more things.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: LOL
Profdan Netizen: DW: If my view of tech was Facebook, I'd be in despair.
Jennette Forager: Particularly since next week is National Robotics Week.
Jennette Forager: http://virtualieee.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/virtual-national-robotics-week/
Profdan Netizen: DW: but SL suggests human, high touch use of Tech.
Jennette Forager nods.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: I agree
Charles2 McCaw: another good point ... please say more
Profdan Netizen: DW: hopefully what we've learned from VWs will inform what's next rather than what we see with FB.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: Charles asks, "Can you give specific example of how VWs influence real life?"
Profdan Netizen: DW: privacy--what we've learned in VW about avatar names/real names--anonymity does not need to lead to a loss of trust and a weakening of relationships.
Charles2 McCaw: another terrific point
Profdan Netizen: DW: the idea that I have one identity and a one to one relationship with RL identity is false.
Profdan Netizen: DW: we can make conscious choices about ID, through avatars.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: love that point...wish Dusan could talk to my class...they fear VWs b/c of anonymity
Profdan Netizen: DW: how we manage online persona not that much different than what we do with personas in actual life.
Bushido Contepomi: But, But, I Want To Be Completely Crazy Here! How Dare You take that away from me! lol;)
Jennette Forager: Very funny, Bushi.
Profdan Netizen: DW: future of the enterprise, the future of school, company.
Bushido Contepomi loves Jenn
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: There's a virtual piano hanging over your head by a weak string, Bushido :)
Profdan Netizen: DW: projects can be worked on from people all over the world.
Tammy Nowotny: if he lives in Japan, he will have problems with power outages for the next few years
ValentineBouquet Garnet: avatar is a repository of aspects of ourselves we choose to explore in digital media... is that how he expressed it? Dusan said it too eloquently
Profdan Netizen: DW: hierarchy--all bets are off on how value gets created in VW, the methods of organizing of work are going to be seriously transformed.
Jennette Forager: He's a poet, Valentine. http://dusanwriter.com/
Bushido Contepomi: Have really got to have a great sense of humour here folks
Profdan Netizen: DW: healthcare and pharma, VWs help to see where future is headed.
Jennette Forager grins.
Discord Schism: and then some
ValentineBouquet Garnet: Yes!! indeed
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: You blog a lot and your blog is popular
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: What do you like to cover
Profdan Netizen: DW: trying to break addiction on blogging about LL.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: hahaha
Jennette Forager: Blog topics: THE STORY BOX: SECOND LIFE & MAGIC
ValentineBouquet Garnet: one of the best in voice sessions I have attended in SL,
Tammy Nowotny: there is one SL blogger who actually WAS a Kremlinologist at one time
Profdan Netizen: DW: turns out that for the most part, what LL does doesn't have much impact.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: "Comrade Trotsky Linden has retired to Yalta for rehabilitation"
Dusan Writer: uh oh hahaha i never should have mentioned communism :P
Bushido Contepomi: Is Haplo still here?
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: Where do you think Linden Lab is going, as a company?
Jennette Forager: THE PLACE OF ALTS IN VIRTUAL WORLDS AND SECOND LIFE: POSSESSION OR EXPRESSION
ValentineBouquet Garnet: he is pulling ideas together in a way many of us have been thinking about but he expresses all on a macro level, great!
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: I opened the can of worms...go ahead
ValentineBouquet Garnet: Dusan Rocks!!
Profdan Netizen: DW: Met with Rod Humbler a couple times.
Profdan Netizen: DW: I like him, reminds of Obama, no drama, let's just move along, a few visionary tricks up his sleeve.
Profdan Netizen: DW: Don't think LL going anywhere, needs an exit strategy.
Profdan Netizen: DW: Dont' think investors anxious for liquidity event, more the employees.
Profdan Netizen: DW: Make good money in a niche market, spec that need to scale, integrate with FB, just false.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia waves Hamlet Au voodoo doll
Tammy Nowotny: for the money I have spent on SL in thw past 5 years, I cd've bought a few thousand shares
Profdan Netizen: DW: MMOs, games, and such suggest could make profit on an engaged community, but a small one.
Profdan Netizen: DW: heartened by emphasis on building, creation.
Malburns Writer: Keep users happy - they are the ones to make platforms viral and attract new users
Profdan Netizen: DW: industry will keep growing with more bets on different technologies.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: AJ: I think you hedged, but I'm betting with you
Dusan Writer: :D
