3D Web Meeting
The Waag Society has been kind enough to offer us the Theatrum space in its prestigious and historic building at the Nieuwmarkt for the Eduverse 3D Web meeting on Feb 25th at 1 pm – 4pm. the goal of this meeting is to discuss how to facilitate a 3D Web environment which is (more) accessible to all.
The meeting will address questions like:
“What should the 3D Web look like?”, “How could we create a 3D version of WordPress?”, “What should the 3D Web be capable of doing?” and “What roles can Flash 3D and Unity 3D play in Web 3D development?”
The meeting will be an informal roundtable discussion and will include members of the Flash 3D and Unity 3D communities as well as interested business and knowledge institutions.
Entrance is free but space is limited (25 attendees max), those who wish to register can do so by sending an email to: 3Dmeeting (at) eduverse (dot) org – they will be processed on a first come first serve basis.
MEP (Micropolis Eduverse Project) meeting
Last Wed Jan 21st, there were 2 MEP meetings. First with members of the Waag Society and secondly with Kennisnet (the sponsor of the MEP). Both meetings went quite well and it is worth noting that much has been achieved in the 2 months since the project’s inception. The primary reason for this is that we are able to draw on the huge body of work already done by the project’s chief programmer, Don Hopkins. A special note of thanks also goes out to Albert Hofkamp (U. Eindhoven) who has done incredibly valuable work on cleaning up Don’s old code.
We are also looking for educational organizations to get involved and various groups have expressed interest, The Wikimedia Foundation and iearn among them.
I would also like to thank the ABC treehouse for hosting us and for offering us their space for the weekly Eduverse meetings.
anyone who is interested in knowing more about this project is welcome to contact me at: MEP (at) eduverse (dot) org
