Talk:NetRoots Nation in SL

From Second Life Wiki

Concept: (put on hold following comments at group meeting that all this is already being done in some way or that the concept of program is not entirely agreed upon.)

Concept: Create a virtual and interactive museum of living history ... with exhibits that reinforce a "talking heads" program (panel, presentation, discussion). "Exhibits" can be visited at any time and include scheduled performances/actions. They might also be machanima records.

Put these all under the headings of Effective Political Engagement: SL as a Bridge to Real Life Activism

Notes from Widget

Activities in the main Austin ballroom will be streamed into SL...My thought is that most folks will want to observe and discuss those events... now if only we knew how many programs NRN will schedule in the ballroom...

Blogher will be in San Francisco and also in-world, so there's some coordination to do there too.

100 people paid to attend in SL last year. Do we plan on 200? Knowing how many of us who are already inworld plan to come would be ... handy. Having a way to count the new people who sign up for SL in order to be with us, would be great.

Then there is decision making.

Activities planned for the Netroots Nation Island must be approved by NRN I'm not sure of the process ... Jimbo will liaison

Activities we plan for our own spaces do not need NRN approval. Lag discourages participation. I'll be looking for low lag environments. Some folks are already offering their sims, which is great.

Finally, when I heard that Glenn Greenwald didn't make the cut for Austin it occurred to me that there are many folks we might want to invite, and who would come inwworld. I've asked Jimbo to try and get the list. I'm sure we can come up with a process for ranking them.

What are demos and where do they fit?
