Breakfast with SL librarians here … we had about half dozen people, met HVX Silverstar, and learned that someone from iTeam resources is looking for me! Compared to last year’s convention, this one does not have the rich Community, Social, and Business programming that the one in Chicago had. It does have Open Source and [...]

For the sake of staying contemporaneous, I’m going to post these unpolished notes on Day 2 …
The breakfast with M Linden, the CEO of Linden Labs, and Phillip Rosedale, founder of LL, was a feelgood talk about accomplishments. No apologies for treating residents like lab rats like last year. M appears to be very interested [...]
