Virtual Community Development Series: Discussion 1

Clear Ink Island recently hosted a Community Development Discussion with Lys Ware (formerly Henrik Linden), Project Manager for the L2 Research Project at Stanford University.

Throughout the design development of our new Clear Ink Island installation, we talked about our hope that it would become a place where virtual community could thrive. However, building that community requires so much more than architecture and talk. But what, exactly, does it take to actually foster and sustain virtual community in a meaningful way?

Since community development is a topic of special interest to many people and businesses in Second Life, we decided to make this discussion public, and host a discussion series. Though not advertised, the event was well attended, and we received lots of positive feedback and ideas for future discussions.

Stay tuned for more info about our next Clear Ink Community Development discussion! Transcript of this event is attached.
