Re: [tlug] Instructions for Attending the tech meeting in Second Life



OK, well if we liked the concept today we could come up with another way of doing the sound in future; We don't necessarily have to use the Second Life voice client - or indeed put the sound through SL at all. (To avoid spending most of the meeting saying "Can you hear me? You're a bit faint... I'm getting feedback - can you turn off your speakers? etc", we weren't letting the people in SL speak to the room in any case, so effectively all we're doing is broadcasting sound.)

It's a bit of a pain for the people in the room having to use a mic to talk, so the question is whether there are enough people out there who'd like to attend TLUG this way in future to make this worthwhile.

Today was a bit of a special case, as there's a lot of Amazon-Web-Services-related activity in SL, so there were a few people who wanted to hear Lars's talk remotely through that connection, rather than usually being involved with TLUG.

The other thing to think about if we do do this again would be making what the speaker types into a terminal, and its output, appear in Second Life. Is there some kind of  simple terminal/screen/shell-related witchery we could use to capture whatever would normally be displayed in the presenter's terminal in real-time so that we could send it to an object in-world?
