User Groups in Second Life

The morning after the Adelaide launch of the 2008 products, I got to enjoy breakfast with quite a handful other Adelaide community leaders, and few of the Microsoft DPE team. Conversation was remarkably varied, and one of the things that came up was Community Credit and the Second Life .Net User Group.  I've never done the Second Life thing, and I'm not sure I want to. It's an interesting concept though - the idea of attending a user group within a game. I guess it's a cross between an online community and a face-to-face one. Perhaps it's onlineface-to-onlineface? It's not my thing, but it might suit people who can't do face-to-face for one reason or another. Is there a Second Life SQL User Group?

# re: User Groups in Second Life

A search in SL for SQL shows 11 groups. Most with small membership, but they are there.

The reality is that at any time there are about 30K  to 40K people logged into SL. Many of them Techies. What a great opportunity to meet and share knowledge without the limitations of geography. April 26th is the SL Launch of Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL 2008.

Just log into SL, join the dot NET Dev or TechNet SL group and come to Microsoft Island, we'll be there!
