Recent Topics

What are our focus groups? These are organically formed, based on interest from our members.
They need their own meetings, and whatever they need (e.g. not all need github repos)
e..g:

• glTF - discord channel, github
• virtual worlds - jin
• standards - MSF group
• integration - Kim and Roderick’s stuff
• mapping open metaverse components - wiki - meticulac (hoping to partner with OMF)
• physical world links - indiebio
• community, publicity team being a trumpet for our members
• the people side - online participation, identity, user experiences
• admin - backlog tasks, finances

Apple headset orders
Maybe as users experience XR through their OS this may inspire the bigs to use open standards

[mrmetaverse]

weird that you can't say VR or AR. Plus, they are completely avoiding the term Metaverse.
they seem to be leaning in hard on volumetric apps within VisionOS.

glTF working group updates

Friday they met with members of Khronos Group to discuss physics, etc.
Felt cyclical in nature, small turnout. Would benefit from more voices participating.

lets solution

• What is one way to bat signal when these discussions are coming up to get more of our community to show up?
• What is one way to call in more diverse participation from people who may or may not even know about OMI?

One way to help is to join the glTF working group.
If you are interested in getting pinged, you can adopt the gltf subgroup role and it will ping you 1 hour before each meeting.

[mrmetaverse]

39 people seem to have the OMI gltf subgroup with the role, but only 3 to 4 show up.

[mrmetaverse]

You can always reach out to the active members through discord, or github. You don't have to show up with ideas, and you can participate in many ways.
