Connecting & Logging In to the Conference Grid<\/h1>\n

NOTE: \u00a0The first time you connect to the conference grid, be on the look out for a Terms of Service notice that will pop up as an alert on your screen. \u00a0If you do not accept the Terms of Service within 10 minutes, you will be disconnected from the grid!<\/strong><\/p>\n

To connect and log in to the conference grid, you will need to use a special client called a \u201cviewer\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0We highly recommend attendees use the OSCC Viewer, a customized viewer we have configured specifically for the conference.<\/p>\n

Conference ticket-holders may also have one of two different types of accounts – a local account, which will have a first name and last name like \u201cJoe Smith\u201d, or a hypergrid account, which will be in the format\u00a0firstname.lastname@yourgrid.com<\/a>:8002. \u00a0Refer to the email you received when you registered for the conference to see which type of account you selected.<\/p>\n

Logging Into a Local Account Using the OSCC Viewer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To download the OSCC Viewer, please choose the correct version for your operating system:<\/p>\n

Download OSCC Viewer for Windows<\/a>
\nDownload OSCC Viewer for MacOSX<\/a>
\nDownload OSCC Viewer for Linux<\/a><\/p>\n

After downloading and installing the conference viewer, double-click the green and white OpenSimulator icon to launch the software. \u00a0At the bottom of the screen, you will see a field to enter your avatar first and last name (example: Fleep Tuque) and password, and the 2013 OpenSimulator Community Conference grid should be pre-selected in the Grid pulldown menu.<\/p>\n

\"oscc13_speakerprep_loggingin_osccviewer\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Enter your username and password and click the \u201cLogin\u201d button to enter the conference grid. You should log in to a Landing Zone region that will have maps and signage to \u00a0help you locate the appropriate Keynote region or Breakout Zone for your track presentation.<\/p>\n

After installing and launching the conference viewer, you will need to add the connection details for your home grid to the OSCC Viewer grid manager.<\/p>\n

\"oscc13_speakerprep_loggingin_osccviewer_othergrid\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To add your home grid connection details:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Click the \u201cGrid Manager\u201d button at the bottom of the screen
\n2. \u00a0Click the \u201cCreate\u201d button at the top of the window that appears to create a new grid entry.
\n3. \u00a0Enter the LoginURI of your home grid in the appropriate field.
\n4. \u00a0In the Platform pull-down menu, select OpenSimulator.
\n5. \u00a0Enter the name of your home grid in the Grid Name field.
\n6. \u00a0Click the \u201cApply\u201d button.
\n7. \u00a0Click the \u201cOK\u201d button.<\/p>\n

You should now be able to enter your username and password, and select your home grid in the Grid pull-down menu to login.<\/p>\n

Once you have logged into your home grid, you will need to make a hypergrid jump to the conference grid. \u00a0It is very important that you make sure your avatar has fully loaded on your home grid before making the hypergrid jump!<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0If you do not wait for your avatar to fully load on your home grid, you may appear as a persistent cloud when you jump to the conference grid.<\/p>\n

\"oscc13_speakerprep_loggingin_osccviewer_hgjump\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To HyperGrid jump to the conference grid, click the \u201cMap\u201d button at the bottom of your screen, and enter the following into the \u201cSearch\u201d text field on the right side of the map:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/cc.opensimulator.org:8002\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(note the trailing slash)<\/p>\n

Then click the \u201cTeleport\u201d button at the bottom of the screen to teleport to a Landing Zone on the conference grid.<\/p>\n

\nReturn to Top<\/a><\/p>\n

Logging Into the Conference Grid Using a Different Viewer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Experienced OpenSimulator users may wish to use their own preferred viewer client. \u00a0If you wish to use a different client, it must natively support Mesh and Media-on-a-Prim in order to function properly for the conference . \u00a0Imprudence and other non-mesh clients are\u00a0not<\/strong>\u00a0recommended or supported for the conference.<\/p>\n

To configure your viewer to connect to the OpenSimulator Community Conference grid, you will need the following connection information:<\/p>\n

LoginURI:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/cc.opensimulator.org:8002\/
\nGrid Name:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a02013 OpenSimulator Community Conference<\/p>\n

The HyperGrid address is the same as the LoginURI, and the conference grid is located in the 7000, 7000 coordinate range. \u00a0If necessary, you may need to navigate to a jump region that can reach a destination in the 7000,7000 coordinate range. \u00a0OSGrid provides public jump regions for this purpose, see the list at\u00a0http:\/\/www.osgrid.org\/index.php\/hypergrid<\/a><\/p>\n

Please note that conference staff will not be able to provide support for any viewer other than the OSCC Viewer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Participating in Weekly Load Tests if You Have an HG Acct<\/h2>\n

In the months and weeks prior to the conference, many members of the OpenSimulator community are assisting with load testing and other grid setup-related tasks. \u00a0Anyone interested in the conference or the OpenSimulator software is welcome to participate in the load testing by making a jump from any other HyperGrid enabled OpenSimulator grid.<\/p>\n

Weekly load tests take place on Tuesdays at Noon PDT!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The OpenSimulator Community Conference grid is located in the 7000,7000 coordinate range, and the four keynote regions we\u2019ll be testing are:<\/p>\n

cc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 1
\ncc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 2
\ncc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 3
\ncc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 4<\/p>\n

We recommend using the OSCC Viewer or another viewer that can support voice and mesh, such as Singularity<\/a>, Firestorm<\/a>, or Kokua<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you already have an account on another OpenSimulator grid that is hypergrid enabled, here are the steps to participate in the load test:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Log into your account on your hypergrid enabled grid.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0If necessary, navigate to a jump region that can reach a destination in the 7000,7000 coordinate range. \u00a0OSGrid provides public jump regions for this purpose, see the list at\u00a0http:\/\/www.osgrid.org\/index.php\/hypergrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Open your map and search for one of the following destination regions:<\/p>\n

cc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 1
\ncc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 2
\ncc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 3
\ncc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 4<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0The map search should locate the destination region on the map, then click the Teleport button. \u00a0If you find that the first region you try is full please use the next address on the list and so on.<\/p>\n

Participating in Weekly Load Tests if you Need an HG Acct<\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t already have an account on another OpenSimulator grid that is hypergrid enabled, here are the steps to participate in the load test:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Create an account on a HyperGrid enabled grid. \u00a0The conference is not associated with any particular grid, but here are some suggestions for public grids that are usually stable and generally have 24\/7 uptime:<\/p>\n

OSGrid at\u00a0http:\/\/www.osgrid.org\/index.php\/auth\/register
\n<\/a>FleepGrid at\u00a0http:\/\/fleepgrid.com:8002\/wifi\/user\/account\/<\/a>
\nFrancoGrid at\u00a0http:\/\/www.francogrid.org\/user\/register<\/a>\u00a0 (French)<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Download and install the OSCC Viewer or a third party viewer that supports mesh, Media on a Prim (MOAP), and Vivox voice. \u00a0We recommend Singularity<\/a>, Firestorm<\/a>, or Kokua<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Log into your account on whatever grid you chose, and then open your map and search for one of the following destination regions:<\/p>\n

cc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 1
\ncc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 2
\ncc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 3
\ncc.opensimulator.org:8002:Keynote 4<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0The map search should locate the destination region on the map, then click the Teleport button. \u00a0If you find that the first region you try is full please use the next address on the list and so on.<\/p>\n
