Happy jumpy Ruths… Interop takes a step « Zha’s Virtual Musings

"At about 11:00 AM, Linden, Ruth arrived on an OpenSim server, quite quietly. and to her surprise. We had been testing some code, and I’d asked Layla Linden to try to log on again, to see how the bug looked on the client side. But.. the latest fix, put on moments earlier, was, in fact, the last one we needed. I logged in as well, and several other folks from Linden lab joined us. Here we have Me, Layla Linden and Tess Linden.

What’s to unusual about logging into OpenSim? Nothing. But.. this wasn’t a normal login. All three Avatars had been logged on via the Agent Domain in the Linden Lab Aditi test grid. The Agent Domain took a “place_avatar” request from the client, and issued a “rez_avatar” request to the OpenSim, which handed the Agent Domain the necessary details so it could relay it to the client, and permit a login. We’re all Ruth, because we’re not yet syncing the agents with openSim inventory yet. That’s just a small matter of programming… (Well, that’s what we programmers always say.) We have no inventory, and we’re stuck on the single region. But.. It’s a very nice first step.

Next steps will include better syncing with the OpenSim environment, handling teleport in and our requests, and then starting in on how to fetch assets from the test grid. As the code gels a little more, it will get posted to the OpenSim tree, so that people who want to explore this function, can enable it for testing.

Perhaps as importantly, we’re starting to generate concrete feedback to the protocol and architecture work, based on actually coding to it."

Yay Ruth rises from the ashes!

Fucking awesome, I just hope Linden Lab doesn't end up doing a switcheroo with their support, a la the new trademark policy.

It's one small step for avatar....

Neat stuff!

Will LL ever put this into production?

Is there any initiative to build a trusted relationship between LL's grid and other grids? By that I mean, a way to share assets and currency between heterogeneous environments in a safe and guaranteed way? You know, so a person can take their $2000L HUD onto another grid but from there can't rip it off? Or do financial transactions across systems?

FlipperPA Peregrine

Yes, there's an active group of people from OpenSim, LL, and IBM all working together in what's being called the AWG: Architecture Working Group. There's also discussion under way about way to teleport between grids, opt-in to several types of currency, and yes, avatar portability as well.

Things are very much in the planning stages at this point.

The last AWG meeting (formerly Zero's productive office hours) I attended, they were trying to figure out a way to run scripts on a trusted server without actually loading the script onto the trusted server so that the operators of the trusted server didn't have to be trusted to not copy and redistribute the code.

That was the last meeting I attended.

Poor Ruth. Again, she is treated like an expendable probe, sent into hostile territory. I wonder how many Ruths were sacrificed before one successfully made the crossing...
