Subject: MOSES DSG Experiment Questions Received
To: ARL STTC Open Simulator <arl.sttc.open.simula...@us.army.mil>, MOSES
LIST <moses-l...@lists.mitre.org>
I posted two "Uncle Sam and Aunt Intel Need You" calls for participation in
the upcoming MOSES DSG experiment [on the Virtual Pedagogy and OSgrid.org
G+ groups] and received a number of questions. In turn, I answered the
questions "to the best of my knowledge" but thought I would pass on both
the questions and my replies (in case either is of interest to future calls
for participation in MOSES DSG experiments and/or merits immediate
clarification).
-- Question received: "I went to the sign-up link, but encountered a big
red warning screen stating the site security certificate cannot be
trusted...?"
Answer given: "If the warning was on the federal site, the federal
government self-certifies so the warning just means none of the commercial
entities that certify sites are involved in certifying this federal
government site. Alternatively, if the warning was on a viewer download
site, the Phoenix Firestorm Project site (with the needed OpenSim version)
is at http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/downloads.";
Note: While my McAfee SiteAdvisor software allows me to access the
http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/downloads site, I get the same "Dangerous
Site" warning when I try to access the http://www.firestormviewer.org site.
-- Question received: "Do you know whether I can still participate with
the old SL client circa 2009, or must I download whatever the newest one
is?"
Answer given: "You will need to download a Firestorm viewer (read: the
OpenSim version) and further, input the MOSES DSG grid coordinates into the
viewer. In other words, the test is NOT taking place in Second Life (and
accordingly, cannot be accessed using the Second Life viewer)."
-- Question received: [From someone that cannot participate in the
experiment tomorrow...] "Will there be any future [MOSES DSG] experiments?"
Answer given: "I will re-post any future calls for participants. [As
an aside, like you, I hope there will be another call for participants
since I have schedule conflict tomorrow too!]"
Again, in case any of the above merits immediate revision (or just FYI), I
wanted to forward the questions I have received to date.
"Break a leg tomorrow!"
Best,
Kay
