"Watch the Product and Engineering teams in this pre-recorded session at SL22B on Tuesday, June 24th at 1pm PT! In attendance will be Senior VP of Product & Engineering Grumpity Linden and Director of Engineering, Web & Platform Kali Linden."
You can see the pre-recorded event in Second Life at 1PM SL time, or you can watch it on Youtube (here).
Yesterday was the first day of the Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education conference. Three days of discussions and lectures, as well as a parade and party. Probably the best attended event was "What's Up With The Lab", hosted by Phelan Corrimal. The Lindens on stage were Grumpity, Kali, and Signal. More were in the audience with a couple on guard for any possible griefers.
The Lindens talked about a number of developments. These included the mobile viewer in development, currently in a "private alpha" version Premium Plus residents can get on a waiting list for, and PBR Materials, which allow for the promise of working mirrors. They would also take some questions from the audience, one asking if people unable to keep paying for Premium could just automatically be downgraded to a free account instead of being booted.
It is notable who wasn't there. Patch Linden has been a part of "What's Up At The Lab" events at the VWPBE for a while, but he wasn't on the stage this year.
The VWBPE goes on until tomorrow, with the closing ceremonies at 6PM SL time and a dance party at 7PM.
