Linden Lab Needs You (and you, and you, and you)
Linden Lab, the people behind Second Life have their UK base right here in Brighton, so we’re delighted to announce the support of such a huge international name and local company to boot.
As well as donating some of their fab glowing cubes for the Arduino workshop, Linden are sponsoring USSU’s Saturday staffing costs (we’re still looking for a sponsor for Sunday; £500 or L$264,920 ;) – please get in touch if you’d like to help).
Linden Lab are recruiting for a wide-range of positions in development, operations, marketing and customer relations, all of which can be based at the Brighton office. A number of Lindens are coming to BarCamp, so if you’d like us to introduce you, so you can have an informal chat about working on Second Life, then drop us a line or leave a comment below.
And thanks to Project Brighton, I’ve just noticed that the web team at Sussex University have recreated the campus in Second Life, so you can even have a look round prior to BarCamp next week…

I helped to build the Sussex campus on Second Life, and am probably going to do a guided tour of it for my talk/workshop/thingy…
Hello,
I am a researcher on the pedagogies behind the use of Second Life in higher education institutions. A Sussex alumni myself (DPhil 1998 – 2003), I will be visiting Brighton in September 2009. Is this event of any relevance to my research? and if so, how can I register?
Thanks,
