2023-12-20 Weekly Meeting 138 Notes/Agenda

[indiebio]

Not an official meeting. Casual discussion or working session for comms channels.

You can add it to your calendar here.

We'll be meeting again in the omi-weekly-meeting channel of the AngellXR/OMI Discord.
We regularly use the # omi-meeting-chat channel for text chat.

Who we are and why we're here:
The Open Metaverse Interoperability Group (OMI) is focused on building the metaverse, whatever that means to you, you're welcome here (T&Cs and Code of Conducts apply).

(was: bridging virtual worlds by designing and promoting protocols for identity, social graphs, inventory, and more. Our members include businesses and individuals working towards this common goal.)

We are concerned about practical standards, and helping grassroots members. We have a seat at MSF and are part of the W3C by charter. We intend to serve as a social connection between the different organisations, as a less formal organisation.

If you’re an observer or here for the first time, this is a general community meeting where people who work on the OMI group initiatives discuss updates and contribution opportunities for current projects and goals. This is your chance to jump in and help!

We're glad you're here. What do you like doing?

We welcome you to introduce yourself in the 🔈 omi-weekly-meeting chat as we dive into the agenda items.

Agenda

1. Backlog re-activation - done! Tasks: https://github.com/orgs/omigroup/projects/7/views/2
2. OMI wiki - can be integrated into github, according to mtv969 https://discord.com/channels/770382203782692945/880136862952489000/1184589126125760533
3. "map of open metaverse components?" - "Is there a "map the open metaverse" thing anywhere? By this I do NOT mean virtual worlds, it may have a small category listing those - e.g. Overte, V-Sekai, but I mean the protocols and tools that can help build the metaverse, from a FOSS perspective. So Blender, Inkscape, Godot, the glTF specs, and then the more behind-the-scenes stuff, like networking infrastructure, cloud stuff (Kubernetes?) ... stuff like that. "
   Is this something that we can do as a OMF initiative, pitch to TLF?

Publicity strategy informal chat with mtv

• W3C presence update
• content strategy - what is our "official" platforms
• our workflow ... what is it?
• review github, "audit" github. - all the properties, their content, is it good? does it need to be changed? simply re-organised?
• github documentation, "rules", guidelines, how to use our github and contribute to the documentation.
• youtube "production standards"
• list of content creators, who are our members who are creating content, who we can shine a light on?
• cross post strategy (simultaneous, automated) - not do the same things 5 times over, manually.
• "be a trumpet for our members"
• news updates, and then simply point to github
