Linden Lab: Past, Present and Future

Materials related to this program are now compiled here.

This Monday, April 14th, 2008, at 11:00AM-12:00PM SLT (2:00-3:00PM EST), Robert Bloomfield and Metanomics will host Cory Ondrejka, who recently stepped down as CTO of Linden Lab, and W. James Au, author of "The Making of Second Life."

As these two guests have been closely involved with Linden Lab from the beginning, this week's event will focus on the past, present and future of the organization responsible for developing Second Life. In particular, we will discuss the development of a world filled with user-generated IP as well as more recent controversial policies such as restrictions on residents' use of the Second Life name and recent promises for the supply of cheap and abundant land. Naturally our guests will also discuss the recent managerial changes at Linden Lab as well as the future of Second Life.
