Great blog! These statements, though, confounded me: "Will you advertise in various grids to let them know about OS Fest when it opens?" "So many people in opensim HATE social media and don't have it, or at least don't have it for their avatar."
OSFest would literally need one or two full-time staff just to figure out how to actually advertise in each of the top 25 grids without using social media, and even then, many of these grids do not have a way to advertise in world to their entire grid. Several of the grids also ban any ads for events on grids outside their own. And this is the core issue as to why Opensim is so fractured: there are multiple barriers that prevent the establishment of a common community, both technical and deliberate. If people don't use social media, there is no way to truly connect with what is going on in the Hypergrid.

yes, I agree, it would be impossible, even if groups worked properly and didn't eat your messages !

Easily the #1 challenge for opensim grids: to establish a common communication protocol and have grid owners sign on to participate. If enough grid owners buy in, then it exerts pressure on those grids being left out.
