OpenSim is certainly still alpha, though I think that we are improving at a very fast rate.<BR/><BR/>Running a grid on top of this is definitely a very complicated task. In my opinion, grids being run at the moment should be considered as pioneers, rather than fully fledged Linden grid replacements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654579473623989383.post-73988280134721626852008-11-08T18:39:00.000+01:002008-11-08T18:39:00.000+01:00Agreed!

But my point is, that having a stable, feature rich OpenSim is a prerequisite for having a stable, feature rich OpenSim based grid. <BR/><BR/>How that grid is operated is another chapter. OpenSim and Linden Labs are running the OpenGrid beta, where sims owned by different people are interconnected. Each sim runs on other hardware, sits behind other network connections etcetera. There's almost no way to guarantee any performance or feature in such a setting. <BR/><BR/>OpenLife Grid operates in another way, where one single provider takes care of all the engineering. They are, essentially, a Linden Labs like entity in this regard. In that scenario, the grid lives or dies by their ability to operate it.Maria Wingtipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078729151826320903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654579473623989383.post-73946524117757803132008-11-08T18:28:00.000+01:002008-11-08T18:28:00.000+01:00Yeah, but it's not as simple as just the OpenSim p...Yeah, but it's not as simple as just the OpenSim platform. You have to have someone who has a VW based on it to use it as a Grid, rather than some standalone sim that only you can get to, right? That means you're reliant on other people to know how and to be able to afford to scale and run a grid, have good policies, etc, etc, etc, etc.<BR/><BR/>There's a lot more to developing an SL alternative than just having stable, feature rich OpenSim revisions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
