…s moved over to the new system. More about this below and see: Second Life VMM Transfer Limits. Oz sort of mentioned some change in management of the VMM project, so no ETA on arrival… we’ll have to speculate as to what that may mean; someone leaving for a better job, got fired, got hired… Oz doesn’t elaborate on staff changes and usually only mentions them if they are positive changes or involve well known Lindens. There is a viewer related probl… Continue reading
…. It is interesting the VMM viewer is still an RC version. This roll out date also seems to ignore the information Third Party Developers were being given as to when VMM roll out might happen. It also suggests that the VMM viewer will roll to the main viewer by the 23th…. Continue reading
…er was last updated 7/23 as version 2.4.4.1 on par with SL version 3.8.3 – VMM capable. CtrlAltStudio Viewer This is the alternative viewer for Oculus Rift type headsets.

…Also, members of the Commerce Team have been attending the Third Party Developers’ UG meetings. So, the frustration may have been bleed off to some extent. Things may go better than I fear. To test VMM, you need a VMM capable viewer and a region that supports VMM. Links to the viewer are in the article. The meeting is in a VMM enabled region, ACME in ADITI (I think this link ONLY works prior to your logging in)…. Continue reading
…is NOT going to be part of the coming Firestorm Release. But, they may get VMM added by the time VMM comes out of beta. I expect the Lab and FS to work together on scheduling VMM’s release. I also expect the next Firestorm Viewer release in way less than three months after this one releases. Being behind is not always a bad thing. The Firestorm Team is very much a diverse set of eyes looking at the Linden code. There are going to be things they se… Continue reading
…at come out during the freeze window have to wait for the next release. If VMM release happens after the freeze window starts, the FS peeps have to restart their process to move the window thus delaying their release or leave the new feature out. With VMM being s significant release with time sensitive factors, i.e.; updating your marketplace products, this becomes a complicated issue that the FS and Linden peeps have to work out. Firestorm has be… Continue reading
…aven’t dug deep enough to know and I want to do other things this morning. VMM Brooke spoke about the beta Viewer Managed Marketplace (VMM). She pointed everyone to the Lab’s announcement and basically repeated that announcement. Oz says, speak soon if you want changes. That means file JIRA reports and feature requests. From past experience we know the commerce team needs help. I am hoping they have done a better job this time. For the related API… Continue reading

The Lab is contacting those that participated. If you feel you have been missed, contact the Lindens you worked with during testing. The Lab intends to get VMM viewer out as the main viewer as fast as possible. Since it takes about a month for a viewer to make it through RC to… Continue reading
