Re: [ogpx] ogpx focus?

Ok, great. That is what I remembered, so let me go on with my slightly *wild* idea.

OSGrid has been used for OGP testing in the past as we know. It is being used for HyperGrid testing now. And, I have encouraged ModRex testing with the ModRex folks.

So, ... One of my personal visions is to see all of this and more on various regions on OSGrid being tested, used, developed, debugged.

With that said, I would like to encourage any OGP testing of OpenSim regions on OSGrid as we move forward.

essentially yes, you're spot on.

one of the core concepts of OGP is that it separates the "agent domain" from the "region domain". so if you have a collection of users, you're essentially an agent domain. if you have a collection of simulators, you're a region domain. if you have both, you're simultaneously an agent and region domain. you can be both, but you don't have to be. and if you're writing software that conforms to OGP, you're supposed to allow agent and region services to be offered by different organizations.

so yes, some day we hope to see someone whose account is owned by linden lab teleport over to OSGrid server and conversely an avatar defined on an OSGrid server teleport over agni (the main Second Life grid.) All without having to log out of one grid and log back in on another. last summer, our interop test allowed avatars whose account was defined in our beta grid's agent domain to teleport to a remote region running a modified instance of OpenSim. Word from Zha is that IBM has an agent domain whose code will get published after a legal review.

so right. we envisioning a future where the relationships between service providers are peer-like (like the peering arrangements of large ISPs.) and to a large degree, OGP is an attempt to define a protocol that can support this model.

I would like to see if we concur on a few points, if I may. And I am not trying to stir up controversy, but rather understand some of the feelings of where this will eventually go.

As I understand where ogp *might* go, it will be a protocol that will allow two seperate virtual worlds to eventually, as peers, both run a sete of master servers currently called domain servers, I believe.

In that case, each world will be able, as a peer, to negotiate via packets, the interop from worldA to worldB (or from worldB to worldA).

That is, we are not contemplating that there is only one domain server at SecondLife, but that, say, OSGrid could run its own domain server and have reciprocity?
