Dev Meeting #1

Passionate creators to not only create the metaverse, but be good metaverse citizens too.

  • Updates
    • Roadmap for Project Athena: in progress
      • Will discuss milestones and project groups after the 15th
      • Project Athena will ensure the community knows what it's working on via the roadmap
      • Press releases will get the word out

    • Working on first release of Project Athena K2
    • After January 15th, High Fidelity will remove support for the platform
    • Report bugs into github
    • First implementation of Project Athena is going to be very "hifi" or centralized at first. Down the road it will be decentralized

    • Docs are the lifeblood of any project for new developers!
      • Update the docs when possible
      • Writing tutorials is important
    • Report bugs into github
    • Use discord for communication
  • After the 15th discussion
    • Are the servers coming down?
    • To know where we're going to be using
    • Stun server — google hosts one we could use it
    • Will domain names will continue to function
    • Assume metaverse api should be coming down
    • Restricting domain names: can two of the same domain name exist? Maybe use an alias.
    • First implementation of Project Athena is going to be very "hifi" or centralized at first. Down the road it will be decentralized
    • Concerned about saving content on Hifi's servers
    • Metaverse api and blockchain - not able to forage for content hosted in marketing
      • Hifi content
      • User content will need to be republished.
      • Athena marketplace — out of scope
      • Anyone create any kind of market can set up the domain
        • Before we do this we need an inventory - agreed. Future scope
        • Not being able to make something work
      • Sam will make a PR for entity zone occlusions - first implementation to fix the implementation. — better than what we have now.
        • (suggestion) Sam's PR needs to do: teleport into the zone will only load what you can see.
        • Zone still loads. Based on size.
        • Link zones together
    • Completed work
      • Linux builds
      • Powerful server for the metaverse
