LAG: WHAT CAN (ALL) SL RESIDENTS DO, TO MINIMIZE IT?
Format: Voice Estimated time: 60 minutesIf there's something that can ruin our SL experience, that is lag. This doesn't mean that we should think, there's not a solution. There it is a solution to lag, if only each one of us contributes a little bit. In the past, scripts alone did for much of the problem, but nowadays with mesh, there's a new player on the game. Accompany me in this session, where I'll explain about different sources of lag, and what can you do to help minimizing it.

INTRODUCTION TO MESH FOR CREATORS
Format: Voice Estimated time: 60 minutesSince Mesh hit the SL grid in August 2011, the visual quality of SL has given a big step forward, and nowadays, learning about mesh is a must for all creators.

(VERY BASIC) INTRODUCTION TO SCRIPTS FOR CREATORS
Format: Voice Estimated time: 60 minutesWhen we want that our items turn on/off lights, change textures, open doors, play songs, animate avatars... We need scripts. Some scripts will be complex, and we'll need from a scripter, or purchasing them, but some other tasks are easy enough, so we could write them on our own. In each case, there are some basic concepts about scripts that we should know about. This session will be devoted to clarify all those basic concepts.
