NYSIA Second Life SIG January 17, 2007

A Whole New World Begging For Development

From the Secondlife.com Developer Overview page:

Second Life is a 3D platform for developers who want to present, promote, and sell their content and applications to a broad online audience within an immersive, shared space.

Unlike other massive multiplayer online experiences, Second Life has few restrictions and provides broad and flexible content authoring experiences for developers interested in building, creating and evolving the world of Second Life.

Second Life provides our expanding developer community with ownership of anything it builds or creates in Second Life. It is yours to sell, trade or monetize within the rapidly increasing population of Second Life Residents.

Agenda for Meeting:
* Meet (virtually) a handful of entrepreneurs who have started with nothing but an idea and have grown thriving businesses, some of whom gain their entire livelihood from Second Life.
* We will explore some case studies of these people and the parallels to our (Real Life) world.
* Conduct a brief tour on-line for the benefit of those who have never visited this amazing new world.
* Conduct a Round-table discussion on how NYSIA and its members can take advantage of this new world.
