Blue Hair #13: PodCamp Plans, SL Woodstock, and Burning Life

Summary

Dedric skips PodCamp Pittsburgh at the last minute and pivots to PodCamp Philly (Sept 7–9, 2007 at Drexel University), hoping to sharpen his podcasting skills and connect with people he already knows. He then highlights William Pitre’s first rez-day and the three-day “SL Woodstock” party spanning multiple regions, packed with live performances and DJ mixes between acts—an in-world festival vibe that shows Second Life’s music culture running at full tilt.

From there, Dedric covers major community events and web-identity tooling: Burning Life is announced for its 5th year as a commerce-free collaborative art build (land use free and not counting against tier), and SLCC (Second Life Community Convention) is coming up in Chicago, Illinois (Aug 24–26) with business, education, machinima, and social tracks. He also chats with SignpostMarv Martin about SLOpenID (built on OpenID) and learns about onXiam for listing your online services, then wraps with a trip to the Second Life Wildlife Nature Reserve to grab animated critters (squirrels, rats, etc.) by Cloud Insoo for his Woodbridge sim.
