Intel Launch in SL

Second Life 2 Comments

So it seems that Intel are stepping up their SL activity, no doubt prompted by Lindens revelations (about 1/2 way down the page) that they made extensive use of AMD processors (though now they are moving to intel).

So I went looking last night for Intel’s Devzone, and that took some time, I eventually had to IM Gadget Mandelbrot and get him to teleport me there. When I got there it turned out that I was late for the European launch and too early for the North American one (blame 7 month old Niamh for that).

Still there were a few people there and I got chatting to them. Apparently the idea is to create an environment for people to collaborate on various development projects, both for SL and RL. A bit like Google’s Summer of Code and Sourceforge (but more Fun ;-) ). So I will continue to keep an eye open and monitor progress. Apparently a MP3 of the launch will become available at some point, so I will grab that when its released.

I quite liked the architecture of the place, very 70′s and Tracey Island!

    (I’m Gadget Mandelbrot, and the Josh you chatted with yesterday)

    Thanks for coming by the ISN sim. It was great to talk to you, and we’re looking forward to seeing what kind of cool stuff we can do there. We’re definitely newbs in SL, though, so please feel free to tell us what you’d like to see, or if we’re doing something that makes us look too much like a big dumb corporation trying to “get into Second Life”. ;-)

    See you ’round the ‘verse!

    Oh, and keep an eye on softwareblogs.intel.com for the MP3 of the launch – I’ll be posting it there soon.
