MetaMeets 2012

Last year I visited MetaMeets 2011 in Amsterdam and was impressed by all the OpenSim knowledge that was walking around in real life there. Great presentations and a real Amsterdam ambience.

This year MetaMeets 2012 was held in 's Hertogenbosch (the Dutch just say Den Bosch) on Friday November 30th and Saturday 1st December. The theme is: “The Art of Creation : Virtuality meets Reality” 

On Friday I spoke there about how we have used OpenSim so far to create and run virtual language villages for K12+ and how OpenSim is a great addition for educators world wide.
Other speakers on this 'Open Source Worlds' topic were: Maria Korolov of Hypergrid Business (www.hypergridbusiness.com), Justin Clark-Casey, a core developer of OpenSim (justincc.org) and Jan Northof of YOUin3D (www.youin3d.com).
