Exploratory project by NMA:
Future of Open-Source Virtual Worlds
NMA has approved $1000 for a project to organize a group that will prepare credible plans for the future of open-source virtual worlds as they expand to serve a much wider audience. Such plans would form the basis for an effort to get nonprofit funds to support more rapid development of open source virtual worlds.
New Media Arts plans to support the development of OpenSimulator/Hypergrid HGProjects

The proposed solution: Our ad-hoc group is seeking to organize a group of community members willing and able to represent all interested stakeholders in the community and also able to make sound technical judgments about what can be accomplished within a reasonable time and budget. To support that organization effort, NMA is asking volunteers to respond to to the following capabilities list.
Funds donated on the OSHG pages go to the support of the OSHG project.

Future of Open-Source Virtual Worlds
New Media Arts is seeking to organize a group of OpenSim community members willing and able to represent all interested stakeholders in the community. Here it offers a web-page for people to volunteer efforts in particular areas. If credible plans are developed, NMA will seek ways of funding projects based on those plans.
