Advertising Open Source in Second Life
Following Mark's post about the Ubuntu community starting to grow in Second life, I got a request to try and get the ubuntustats feeds into Second Life.
Never having used SL, I had absolutely no idea how that would work, so I got in touch with Catharina Bethlehem, who is actively working on the Ubuntu community in SL, managing a whole island devoted to Free Software.
She urged me to learn by example, so I downloaded the Linux client and gave it a try. I was amazed on how fast and easy it was to start flying around the virtual world. You just download, uncompress, and clicky clicky, you're playing. No install needed.
Catharina was kind enough to show me the ropes, and I even learned she works for a company called Mingos in the Netherlands that provides laptops and desktops with Ubuntu preinstalled. You can even check them out in the island!
I heard they even ship to all of Europe.
Anyway, if anyone has any idea on how to get the stats feed into Second Life, drop me a line.

All of this is wasted time and money …
