Town Hall with Philip Linden - Nov. 16
Wednesday, November 8th, 2006 at 11:41 AM by: Jeska LindenUpdate: The stream for the event is: http://screlay-dtc0s-3.shoutcast.com:8080 You are able to plug this stream into your own land and listen in.
Also, Resident-ran radio stations are welcome to relay the stream, please contact Chadrick Linden for more information. You can also listen in at an alternate Resident-ran stream on your parcel by using: http://practice.phreak-radio.com or http://phreak-radio.com/townhall.pls for listening in Winamp, iTunes, or Windows Media Player.
(original post below)
We hope you can all join us for November’s Town Hall with Philip Linden on Thursday, November 16th at 1:30pm PST/SLT. We will be posting the URL for the audio stream shortly.
As with the last few Town Halls, this Town Hall will be broadcast via streaming audio in Second Life with Residents asking questions via Skype and Philip responding using voice. If you do want to attend the meeting in person, we will gather at the Pooley Stage, although please feel to listen in anywhere in-world and call in via Skype or send your questions to the group.
Asking Questions
The easiest way to ask a question is to do so via Skype. Don’t have a headset or don’t want to Skype in but still have a question? Simply join the group Linden Town Hall Questions – which will be monitored during the event for extra questions between Skype calls. Please note: Due to obvious time constraints, not all questions will be able to be asked/answered!
Can’t Make It?
Don’t worry if you can’t make it, we will also tape the entire event and create a podcast, which will then available at Second Life Music Page (and via iTunes), for those who can’t listen in to the live event. There will also be a transcript provided after the event for those who can not attend.
Closed Captioning
We are also hoping to again provide a ‘type along’ transcript in-world as Philip speaks as well, simply join the group Linden Town Hall Closed Captioning to follow along. This group is not for asking questions, but for reading along with the voice Town Hall. We are researching the best way to allow for live closed captioning, please feel free to add your suggestions below!
More Info about Using Skype:
Please note, we aren’t soliciting questions in advance. Philip plans to start out with some thoughts he wants to share and then we’ll open up for call-in questions. There are three qualifications for a person to call in:
1. Skype - Make sure your Skype is working. Download the latest version here and test it out before the event.
2. Headset - Headsets provide much higher audio quality, also speakers combined with a microphone almost always guarantees unpredictable echo.
3. Turn off SL Audio During Call – Please, please, please - when you call into the conference, you must have already turned off your computer’s audio. The 10-15 seconds of delay between the Skype conference and the sound heard in Second Life from the stream is very confusing.
Friendly Tip: Anyone trying Skype for the first time should use the built in test call so they can hear themselves and adjust their volume and headset prior to calling in. It’s common for callers to either chew on their mic (have it too close) or to have the microphone just under their nose or mouth. Sometimes the best sound is achieved when the mic boom is near your chin - away from air flow.

I have a question:

do you guys ever look at it? The last “acknowledged” proposal is over 500 proposals ago… just wondering if I wasted my time writing 2261 and 2262….

No you didn’t. :p
November 8th, 2006 at 12:22 PM
Eh.. yes, I did… oh, and I asked the Q here, because the Town Hall thing is sleepy-time for me
November 8th, 2006 at 12:26 PM
This will be my very first Town Hall.
I can’t wait to attend.
Me, my husband, and daughter are newbies
still within our 45 days. I hope to gain a lot
of knowledge from the Town Hall about SL.
I also wanted to say SecondLife Is What Virtual
Reality Was Meant To Be! Bully for you and the
entire SL Team!
I will soon buy into some land to become
an established citizen in this fine community!
Warm Regards,

“Philip plans to start out with some thoughts he wants to share…”
This isn’t going to be like “Springer’s Final Thought” is it? It sounds like the people at Linden Labs might be trying make things work, but we shall see. Talk is cheap. The proof is in the pudding. I look forward to listening to the podcast.

Heya.
I was at the last Community Roundtable meeting, and there was a lot of lag. The kind of lag where you wonder it you crashed or not. Anyway, any thoughts on how to keep this down for the Town Hall? Can you make it a no-script zone? Can you have a 10 prim per avatar cap?

Hmm, you say “We are researching the best way to allow for live closed captioning”. Were you looking to do a better job of synchronizing the transcription with the audio? You’re not being very specific as to what you would like there or how you want it delivered. What exactly you are looking for.
November 9th, 2006 at 1:28 AM
Town halls are a wonderful thing to have, but when are we going to see some after 5PM PST? Some people in the Pacific timezone are actually working 9-5 jobs, and can’t make it to the town halls scheduled. You always seem to schedule them during business hours, which may be convienient for you all at Linden Lab, and possibly for those in timezones to the right of us here on the west coast, but for us here, it’s difficult to attend — difficult to explain to your rather sedate boss why you require time off
This is especially important when it comes to meetings affecting concierge, and private island issues — Most island owners tend to have 9-5 jobs. I’m not implying that other SL residents are unemployed, or all work other hoursjust seems that most estate owners I talk to work bankers hours :p
anyway, just my two cents
Cheers!
CCC
November 9th, 2006 at 5:41 AM
CCC, convenient for west coast US is the middle of the night here in the UK. That’s why they should do different times to accommodate everyone.
The issues that you mention - land, and specifically prices, will affect far more than just island owners, which is why we need the chance to tell Zee that he is wrong and cannot go ahead with this stupid suggestion of his.
Think about it - when prices go up on islands, people start snapping up the cheaper mainland, which makes prices go up for people wanting to buy mainland. We’re going to see price increases for existing landowners - from 512 sq m to multiple islands. Renters are going to suffer big price increases. Those who don’t own or rent land will find that L$ prices go up so buying anything costs them more. Those who don’t use any SL money at all will find that theres less and less to do in-world as people sell their land.
Although SL prices are comparitively steep compared to other online games, they are tolerable. Or at least they were. If all mainland tier prices are going to go up 50% as well, I don’t see that as reasonable.
We have to remember not to fall for Linden Lab’s spin on this. It is not LL that have been subsidising land prices - it is landowners who have been subsidising the free accounts which make up the majority of SL players. That is where changes need to be made - getting money out of those who pay nothing to play, not those who are already paying plenty already.
Lewis
November 9th, 2006 at 7:02 AM
Lewis Nerd makes an important point concerning the price increases. Any major increase would severely impact paying residents in an adverse manner, and SL, as a result. Do you truly want runaway inflation? My house cost $L3000, so now it would cost $L4500? because the landowner had to increase rent to the business owner who had to pass the increase along to me? I feel the Lindens are being overly aggressive in milking the cash cows (land owners, businesses, paying residents) in order to subsidize the hoardes of non-paying “residents”.
I believe if you are not a Producer, Builder, Owner, or Consumer (help me if I missed one), if you do not add value to SL, you ARE a “tourist”. It is these “tourists” that the Lindens should be harvesting cash crops from, not the lifeblood of SL that are already investing time, effort, and love in their communities and improving the Quality of Second Life here.
If someone wants in free, grant a “day pass” like is done at discount warehouses. Like many of the people who fell in love with SL at first sight, I didn’t need an indefinite free stay to consider a premium (now Annual) membership.
November 9th, 2006 at 7:05 AM
Can you please send me the stream for this so i may listen to it on my parcel.
November 9th, 2006 at 7:29 AM
If you think that corporations in SL are a good thing, take a look at the top classified advertisments at present. Two car companies going head to head at L$97,000 and L$97,500 in a pissing competition to get the top spot, which is going to absolutely screw any resident who has a desire to be near the top of that listing. That’s over $270; pocket change to someone like Toyota but impossible to most people who are actually here because they play regularly.
Again, Linden Lab, you are hurting the wrong people. Don’t hurt those who pay, get those who don’t.
Listen to your residents. They are the ones who have made SL what it is. Corporations don’t care what goes on in SL, they don’t participate, they don’t even log in; they’re just paying someone else as cheap advertising.
Lewis
November 9th, 2006 at 7:59 AM
What more can I add?
“Listen to your residents. They are the ones who have made SL what it is. Corporations don’t care what goes on in SL, they don’t participate, they don’t even log in; they’re just paying someone else as cheap advertising.” sums it up all pretty wel.
November 9th, 2006 at 8:32 AM
I’m very new to Second Life and have never owned land. When I search Land Sales for First Land I get no results. What am I doing wrong?
November 9th, 2006 at 10:00 AM
“Tourists” are consumers, or at least potential consumers. If they see interesting stuff they want, they’ll find a way to get L$ and buy it. The more eyeballs you can bring into SL, the more chances of selling your stuff.
As for corporations, envy of those more successful than you is not an attractive trait. They’re putting money into LL’s pockets, funding the world, and for anyone doing any kind of serious business in SL or FL, a few hundred US$ isn’t that much for a classified ad that may be expected to generate many times more than that.
November 9th, 2006 at 10:15 AM
Kami, it’s not “envy” that Toyota or Nissan has $270 to throw at a commercial advertisment - it’s the principle that mere residents have no hope of competing with multi-million dollar corporations. It upsets the balance of how things should be, and suddenly all the hard work that thousands of paying customers have done becomes worthless because one big corporation that has a much bigger pocket can offer what you are selling, but for free.
You may do well to remember that just because a player isn’t making thousands of dollars a month doesn’t mean that they are not in ’serious business’ or in fact playing SL ’seriously’. Many of us put a lot of time and effort into shaping what was ‘our world, our imagination’ before it became Corporate USA. You may not know what it was like here before you came 6 weeks ago but it’s definitely going downhill and becoming harder to get any kind of success if you’re just a mere resident like me.

Requests:
1. The listening stream
2. The skype name to call
Or yer gonna get every mama’s dawg trying to cram into Pooley again
also, will there be a transcript for those non-hearing residents? (and for those who’ll miss out cuz of the funky time zone(s) issue)
November 9th, 2006 at 10:43 AM
Lewis, I’ve been here for over a year now, and the grid is far more interesting and complex now than it was then, and the opportunities to make a living both in SL and working from FL in SL have grown enormously.
What did you think SL becoming The Metaverse was going to be like? Some hippie Burning Man commune? Hippies don’t have money, are too lazy to work, and are therefore doubly incapable of growing the world. Corporations are a way for groups of people who like working (and have earned some money by working) to work together even more effectively; nothing more, nothing less. Of course corporations are going to be the ones who put the most money into the world, and make some of the largest builds. If you were willing to work hard, you could start a corporation of your own and do the same.
With your contempt for the normal residents (you call them “mere”, and disparage their business skills, despite the fact that the economics page shows that your assumptions are completely wrong), your obvious contempt for people who work for a living, and your constant complaints about Linden Labs (which is, itself, a corporation funded by some of the most successful corporate leaders in the history of the world) and SL, I just don’t understand why you’re even *here*. Have you ever said or done anything positive for SL?
November 9th, 2006 at 11:34 AM
@Lewis:
I do agree that timezones are a massive pain in the keester when it comes to holding any sort of meeting, and that even today’s 9:30PM meeting is stretching it for UK users, at least you’re not at work when they hit. I don’t think there’s really ever been a town hall that hasn’t been some time outside of regular business hours on the west coast. As for the concierge comment, I believe it was the last town hall (I haven’t been keeping sharp track) that was only open to concierge customers, and was held during bankers hours. Not meaning to imply that island price increases don’t affect the rest of the economy. I’ve been following all these issues very closely, lurking in the backgrond and reading countless blog comments to try make sense out if it, to reverse engineer, if you will, LL’s internal workings.
Cheers!
CCC
November 9th, 2006 at 11:40 AM
Kami chan,
Not everyone needs or wants to make money in Second Life. If it was just for making money, I would not bother! Why would I work hard for less than the pay of a Mcjob? My present employment pays enough.
I am not impressed by “these most successful corporate leaders in the history of the world”. These people launched countless scores of firms most of them soaring high and then falling back again. No I am not in the slightest bit impressed. Most of these people got out of the business just in time for the tech collapse. I wonder how many people lost their life’s savings when the tech bubble burst.
Myself I refuse to wear the brown lipstick. I wonder if Philip will fund cybercafés for free access to second life to ensure universal access for all. You have it backwards, Lewis wants to stop the free for all of the freeloaders and give decent access to those of us that PAY.
I agree with Lewis, end the free accounts. Unless you have a premium account, you can not exit the help islands or welcome centers. The added money of new accounts and the reduced bandwidth will make second life profitable.
Remember it is Philip that is the “hippie” passing out free accounts which are used by griefers, children and the banned.

One word: EA
Well actually that’s two words. Look at their support forums and try to put the term efficiently there to EA.
BUT back on topic.
I’m gonna attend this TH meeting, even though it’ll probably cost me a night sleep and a grumpy day @ work.
And I sincerely hope we get listened to. Let’s see if Philip wants to put the actions where his words are. That SL still listens to it’s customers (yeah that’s us).

@Kami Harbinger:

Kami appreciate your point of view, truly. I would be fine with one of these “Tourists” becoming a Resident if they spend $L/$US inworld equivalent to a membership. The main difference is that in RL, “Tourists” eventually have to go home. Not so here in SL.
My belief is that someone comes here only to keep an avatar inflated, does no other verb than “be”, they ought to have to pay *something* for that privilege.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:07 PM
I’m no fan of the no-payment-info accounts. Free accounts with payment info made sense, as loss leaders. Some of the freebies are griefers who have been given a free pass to make new accounts forever now. Some are casual tourists who spent nothing and won’t be back, and their accounts will be culled eventually. Neither of these make me happy.
However, from what I can tell, a majority are just curious people who don’t have or care to use a credit card or cell phone to use as a unique token, and if we aren’t complete jerks to them, they’ll become consumers and Residents.
I’ve met a number of freebies in-world now who are intent on becoming active, honest Resident citizens, and I try to give them useful pointers to learning and finding things they’re interested in. Everyone needs to chip in on this, if they give a damn about SL.
If the corporate sims bring people in, and some of them become citizens, I call it a win even aside from the money the corporations pay LL and SL consulting agencies, both of which are also positive outcomes. Eventually we want everyone on the planet to be in SL, or whatever SL becomes.
November 9th, 2006 at 5:41 PM
Brace - as mentioned above, we will have both closed captioning and a transcript posted after the event!
Also, if you want to ask a question, you join the group Linden Town Hall Questions – which will be monitored during the event for Skype information and extra text questions for between Skype calls. This way you can ask questions from anywhere on the grid.
Blue Linden often forwards questions from the Teen Grid as well and we have even had Teen Residents call in on Skype!

Aslan -
re: transcript- I would prefer if we didn’t have to have Lindens type along during the event to provide live transcriptioning during the event. I have looked into voice - text, but haven’t been able to locate a good on the fly transcription. If you know of any, please post it here!
November 9th, 2006 at 6:13 PM
I am new to SL. I started with a free acct (though i gave a credit card #). I currently have an annual acct. There is no way I would have paid money to join the community without initial free access. I explored a little, found myself fascinated by elements of the society, eventually thought up a plan for how I could contribute to it (a plan that would be much enhanced if firstland existed whenever I log on and search for it), and then decided to dish up the $72. A loss leader, as Kami says. I believe there’s a real value in the free accounts. I think it would be helpful if numbers were released indicating the retention rate (that is, the level at which free accts of both kinds –> premium accts). Until we know what payoff the free accts have, it will be difficult to ascertain their value to the community.
November 10th, 2006 at 3:08 AM
“Xandra Donnelly: “And I sincerely hope we get listened to. Let’s see if Philip wants to put the actions where his words are. That SL still listens to it’s customers (yeah that’s us).”
You’re new here, aren’t you? ”
Reasonable. But I tend to be a realistic optimist. And I try to always see the good intentions in people.
But, reading the transcript I see I have been proven wrong again.
November 10th, 2006 at 4:41 AM
Kami Harbinger… in ansewr to your post:
“What did you think SL becoming The Metaverse was going to be like? Some hippie Burning Man commune? Hippies don’t have money, are too lazy to work, and are therefore doubly incapable of growing the world. ”
You describe free accounts perfectly there.
“Corporations are a way for groups of people who like working (and have earned some money by working) to work together even more effectively; nothing more, nothing less. Of course corporations are going to be the ones who put the most money into the world, and make some of the largest builds. If you were willing to work hard, you could start a corporation of your own and do the same.”
Rubbish. Corporations are there to make money, management doing less whilst the lower work harder to line the pockets of those in charge. They simply have more money, and to assume that a few SL residents getting together can suddenly have as much money as Nissan or Toyota to advertise their wares in SL is nothing short of deluded.
“With your contempt for the normal residents (you call them “mere”, and disparage their business skills, despite the fact that the economics page shows that your assumptions are completely wrong)”
Economics page? If you mean by the amount of $ spent in a day, that’s just sales of stuff. People buy and sell stuff all the time.
“your obvious contempt for people who work for a living”
Where did you get that from? I have a full time job.
“and your constant complaints about Linden Labs (which is, itself, a corporation funded by some of the most successful corporate leaders in the history of the world) and SL,”
Um… no, it’s funded by venture capitalists, people who have money and want to invest it in the hope of making more.
“I just don’t understand why you’re even *here*. Have you ever said or done anything positive for SL? ”
Hmm let me see… I volunteered as a greeter. I build things. I am content manager for Stratics Second Life, part of the world’s largest MMORPG community site. I help a lot of people. I provide much for the general SL population out of my own pocket and make little to no money back through it. My profile picks, which if you’d bothered to check, would have given you some landmarks to some of the things I provide for SL players to enjoy.
Why are you here?

I still wonder why companies are investing in this game world, not to be negative but even though there is no place like it out there, this game is STILL beta, and the farsical comments by philip linden that the free accounts cause little or no drain on sl.
Simple math each free account pays nothing to linden labs = A
Each free account logs onto SL using bandwidth, asset server space = B
Second life only has only finite bandwidth and cpu/storage space = C
A+B affect C
Charge the free people DON’T tell us too charge them for coming on our land don’t try to get us to do your dirty work (if free accounts can’t access places they will become pay accounts)
Do you know the SIMPLE reason SL won’t do that because 50% of free accounts atleast would cancel and then Philip linden wouldn’t be able wave the magic 1 million users banner at investers and big business.

but why is the url for listening and the skype addy to call in on such a national secret?
And why do I have to boot one of my groups to join your group? (supposing that all of my groups are filled)
Are you going to give out that info within the group IM? I still can’t figure out from the info posted, how folk are going to call in and/or listen in.
Again since I’m losing my eyesight RL, I might have missed that info too - repost it if I did?
November 14th, 2006 at 9:02 PM
I agree with Soren, there’s no way i would have paid for SL straight up. Once a week or 2 had passed though, I was hooked and there was no looking back, and I am also an annual account holder. Perhaps instead of making no free accounts, it could be a 30day free period, and once that expires you are out unless you sign up? Perhaps then, more people will become paying customers and charges could be decreased even. I don’t know, this isn’t my field of expertise, just my opinion, but people won’t want to pay money off the bat without seeing what they are paying for.

Perhaps Phillip can explain at what time he decided to betray all the content developers by allowing LibSL to create copybot and how he feels about all those who are now out of jobs and unable to feed their familys.
November 16th, 2006 at 11:43 AM
I hope LL has their ducks in a row… I know I (and others have issues) like:
Q1: Will LL begin encrypting and authenticating the client to server stream?
That would go a long way to preventing unauthorized clients like CopyBot.
Sign up for an account, get a cryptographic certificate.
Only crypotgraphically verified clients allowed to connect to maingrid.
Q2: Why are “experimental” clients allowed to connect to the production grid, anyway?
Only allow third-party clients like libsecondlife to connect to the beta grid.
Allowing open access to the production environment from unseen third-party code is reckless and negigent. But I guess that’s okay if you have friends in the right places.
Restricting libsecondlife and other unvetted code to the beta grids would allow tools like libsecondlife to be explored and controlled without wrecking the maingrid economy.
Q3: How does LL plan to align the producer and consumer rights to at least follow U.S. law?
LL already allows builders to steal money by selling empty textured boxes advertised to be anything… then transferring the money to alts and running away.
If an object you *pay for* does not perform as advertised, too bad. No lemon law in SL.
Caveat emptor was already bad enough, without adding caveat scriptor or caveat buildor to it.
Database integrity issues, grid crashes, copybot, etc…
LL has a lot of negative issues to address.
