I’ve received a mail to a mailing list I’m on detailing a talk today, at 1pm SLT, by John Lester (formerly known as Pathfinder Linden) at The Open University’s Deep Think West. I’m not in any way affiliated with the Open University, so I can’t answer questions about the meeting, Tori Landau is the SL avatar who sent the email, details below:
Details of today’s Meet are below, however, before the Meet there will be the first drop-in at the Welcome area at Deep Think for 30mins from 12.15pm slt / 8.15pm GMT. The drop-in is a chance for people to come along and talk about anything as well as offering support on using SL and any problems people may be having.
