Sun is a global company.
We have more than 30,000 employees in 100 countries.
We all live on the network.
And today we got to interact with each other in an environment enabled by it -- Second Life.
Sun hosted a global townhall for its employees in Second Life. A heavy-hitting line-up of execs came in world to talk to and interact with our employees there, including CEO Jonathan Schwartz...

Were these 1,000s concurrent on a sim/in Second Life? Would love to hear more about how you handled that volume of participants.
