Lab Chat, a new Q&A show in Second Life, launched today in Second Life with Saffia Widdershins and Jo Yardley discussing many things Second Life and Project Sansar related with Linden Lab CEO Ebbe Altberg.<\/p>\n

The show itself went quite smoothly, which was quite impressive with a four region setup that attracted over 150 people. The show launched on time, without any technical issues, although one problem that was apparent was that people who had submitted questions were unable to make the live show. The questions had been selected from a pool of 46 questions submitted via the official Second Life forum.<\/p>\n

Ebbe talked about land, commerce, marketplace, experiences and much more. Experiences was a very interesting subject as Ebbe pointed out that in Second Life, people struggle to make experiences pay their way. This is something that people who have created roleplaying ventures or interactive game experiences will be quite familiar with. Project Sansar definitely has experiences on its radar.<\/p>\n

\"Strawberry<\/a><\/p>\n

In terms of Second Life and land, Ebbe said that Linden Lab were continuing to look at options for land, but there were some economic realities for Linden Lab that had to be taken into account when it comes to Linden Lab making changes. Therefore, slashing tier remains an option that is not really viable, Ebbe didn’t say that, but reading between the lines, that’s the reality at the moment.<\/p>\n

\"Caitlin<\/a><\/p>\n

There were quite a few Lindens in attendance, some lurking backstage where they were also joined by some of the Lab Chat production team, bloggers and of course residents who found backstage a less taxing location for their graphics stage than the main theatre. I did crash a couple of times, but that was largely due to me ramping up my graphics to try and get snapshots. I should also add that some of the people I was trying to take snapshots of also crashed as they disappeared from view at precisely the wrong moment! Draxtor Despres, Marianne McCann and Xiola Linden, I’m looking at you here!<\/p>\n

\"Lab<\/a><\/p>\n

However plenty of people did sit down in the seats provided and Ebbe talked for well over an hour, with the Lab Chat team taking unscheduled questions and even asking their own questions. Overall, the show went well and I hope that many more will follow. The nature of the show, with selected questions being asked by a couple of presenters allows the Linden on the stage to talk at length and not be distracted by others asking questions. Therefore there’s quite a lot of meat on the bones.<\/p>\n

If you could not make the show, or your questions weren’t answered, fear not. The Lab Chat team will publish a transcript, they will also publish a video of the event. Keep an eye on the Lab Chat website<\/a> for further details and also for details of how you can submit questions for the next show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
