Inara has a good article covering a meet up in Sansar where Ebbe Altberg spoke. See: SANSAR PRODUCT MEETING 2017 WEEK #49 – WITH EBBE ALTBERG.
Worth a read. Lots of new information.
Sansar Meetings
Sansar Did What?
They published the general development roadmap (sort of): Coming Soon to Sansar – Upcoming Releases.
A development roadmap lists those things that the developers actually plan to develop. The ‘map’ part denotes the order in which they will develop them. The Lindens did include that information. But, there isn’t much.
Development Road Maps generally extend beyond the next two updates. I don’t really see that in this ‘map’. So, it is a short highway. One doesn’t go far before hitting the ‘under construction’ signs and finds the road closed.
The ‘Discovery’ update will include;
- A searchable Atlas
- Improved desktop-mode features, like being able to pick things up
Following Discovery will be a ‘Friends’ update, sounds like a cross between SL’s What’s Hot, Events, better Help, and people search.
Then they say… ‘more to come’. Well Duh!
Sansar Meetings
This week’s Product Meetups will be held on Friday 09/22/2017 at 9:30 – 10:30 am (PT) and 4:00 to 5:00 pm (PT) Location: Zen Garden
The Casual Meetups are at oYo Galaxy Time Gate – 2pm – 3 pm (PT) Monday thru Friday!
These meetings are hard to get into. Be early. Also, pre-cache the Experiences before the meeting you plan to attend. Program updates and Experience load times can cause you to arrive late and be bounced to an empty instance.

The Product Meeting will be Friday September 15 @ 9:30 AM and 4 PM PT in City Park. Be sure to visit before the meeting to cache the Experience/region and be early the day of the meeting to get into the right instance.
The Casual Meet Ups will be Monday to Friday at 2 PM PT in Witchy’s Sandbox.
Sansar Breaking 2017-09-08
Today Sansar will get the update we’ve been looking for. This has the ‘keyframe’ animations. Or for SL peeps animesh. Plus, the terrain editor and other stuff.
Sansar will be down for 90 minutes or so while the update is rolled out.
There is a problem if you are a Win 7 user. See “Your version of Windows appears to be out of date” – warning after install.
There is a little more information in the 9:30 Product meeting in the last 10 minutes of the video I am uploading. But, nothing to help with the problem.
Word is that lots of user stuff breaks in this update. I think that is user scripted things…
Sansar is not at the point where there is any backward compatibility. There is no Backward. So, users deal with stuff breaking. Which means we can’t sell stuff as the customer complaints and updates would be overwhelming.
By the time the 4 PM Meeting happens the update should be out. There should be a couple of Product Team members at the afternoon meeting. Only Cara made it to the morning meeting and she couldn’t get her mic working.
If you don’t know, you can do a Sansar viewer reset by clicking into My Look. So, when in an Experience click into My Look. When you come out, you pop back into the same instance of the Experience. It avoids the instance full problem that often blocks returning to a meeting.
Sansar Meetings 2017 w36
This week the Sansar Casual Meet Ups are at The Lost Treasure of Coral Canyon at 2 to 3 PM PT Monday thru Friday. The Experience takes a bit to download. So, give yourself extra time for your first trip there.
It is a bit hard walking in this Experience. At least in desktop mode. You’ll need to use Ctrl-Mouse to target then left-click to go there.
Also, as of today, the promised Sansar update is not yet out.
The Friday Sansar Product Meet Up will be at 9:30 AM and 4 PM PT in the Astro Port. This meeting is likely to reach the Experience’s population limit, 40±. So, be early. And I suggest you visit the location Thursday to have the Experience cached.
