I am looking forward to experimenting with the OpenSimulator. As an educator in the Central Florida area, we are incorporating Quest Atlantis ( <a href="http://www.questatlantis.org)" rel="nofollow">www.questatlantis.org)</a> as part of our county's 21st Century strategic plan and starting to train a growing number of teachers in the use of this immersive 3D environment.

We have been working with the education in the UK for couple of years trying to get them in Second Life, but been hitting brick wall again and again for the reason you also listed in your presentation. Finally earlier this year we were able to offer them OpenSim and all the schools we work with are very excited. One thing they are still concerned about is the lack of content available and schools having to allocate a lot of time for content creation. In order to resolve this problem we are about to lauch a product in January providing a market place for educational content.

Thanks for the kind words. It is the least I can do for the project. You and all the other OpenSim developers are really onto something special.

In fact I'm going to make it one of my benchmark links for people who ask me what OpenSim is :) I also like the OpenSim App. I think that this kind of innovation in ease-of-use is going to be essential for the future success of open source virtual environments.
