Friday February 01, 2008 Pix From the NetBeans Chat on Second Life
Since Roumen forgot to take pictures during the Netbeans chat in Second Life yesterday, here is one for you.

As Roumen already mentioned, the chat was well-attended (20-30 people I guess), allthough I had trouble finding the theatre. So I came a bit late but I finally learned the event was at the south end of the island. What you do when looking for an event in a big place: Fly up and around and try to find an agglomeration of people (dots) on the minimap - that's where the action is.
I had to leave after an hour already, I would have liked to stay longer and chat a bit more, but then my laptop ran out of batteries (me and James attended from an internet cafe, and wireless just drains the power). And then, when I left the cafe - I spotted an extension cord behind a corner only 5m away from me - bummer.
Well, when you get on Second Life the next time, don't forget to look for the Sun Microsystems pavillions, the island is pretty stylish! There are hardware and software showrooms, free t-shirts and coffee, a beautiful bay, and even a public sandbox.

It was pretty interesting.
Hope more events and maybe there will be regular events like one per week to discuss different things, issues, new things, etc.
