Summary
ImpDev Meetup for April 14, 2010.


 * We met on ReactionGrid as part of our OpenSim grid tour.
 * There were quite a few technical issues at first, but eventually we got everyone together in the welcome sim.
 * We talked about Imprudence progress:
 * McCabe has been busy: customizable default parameters for new prims (from Emerald), option rez as land group, disable teleport progress screens, and more.
 * Armin has sent Jacek a draft patch for Meta7 LightShare support. Jacek will test it with OpenSim trunk, which recently added server support.
 * HPA support is in the same state as last week: working okay, but not ready to merge. Jacek has some incentive to work on it though, because she's trying to export her creations from SL.
 * We discussed permissions for export. The creator check is very limiting, especially for builds that use megaprims (which are usually created by someone else).
 * Armin had an idea about putting a special permission notecard from the prim creator into the prim to signal consent to export the prim. But this wouldn't help for prims created by user accounts that don't exist anymore (like Gene Replacement).
 * We talked about OpenSim:
 * Jacek things that the biggest issue for OpenSim adoption right now is smoothing out the small annoying issues, and making it more reliable and usable.
 * OpenSim 0.7 will have LightShare support, but 0.7 might not be released for a while because there are concerns about having a web interface and DB migration routines. SimianGrid may help with this, though.
 * We talked briefly about the Third-Party Viewer policy:
 * Joe Linden had a brown bag meeting yesterday. There is some faint hope of change. Joe is going to talk to LL's legal team about changing sections 7a and 7d to address developer concerns about liability.
 * Jacek says that even if the policy were fixed to be perfect, Imprudence is now dedicated to OpenSim; SL support would be secondary.
 * Next week's meetup will be on ScienceSim.
