Notes for tours of the Expo.

The Expo Tour is a regular opportunity to get together in Second Life and meet others involved in the the Virtual Collaboration Environment. It is particularly useful for new avatars to find their feed (and voice). You are encouraged to come along and join in.

The Expo is an exposition of projects, tools and resources relevant to the Whole of Society Crises Response (WoSCR) community. The initial Expo has a number of sections:

• COMPOEX Program Tools and Models (Overview, Campaign Planning Tool, Option Exploration Tool, Modeling Tools, Model Library)
• Other PMESII Tools and Programs (Simulex Reference World, Simulex Duality, SEAS-VIS, SecondChina)
• "Helpful Organizations" - International Emergency and Crisis Response Organizations (ISCRAM, IAEM, MPAT, SAHANA)
• Virtual Worlds Platforms and Organizations (Federal Consortium for Virtual Worlds, US Nexus, Second Life, Opensim and Blue Mars)
• Joint Futures Lab - Joint Operating Environment (JOE)

A Short Introduction to the Expo Exhibition Building:

Welcome to the OpenVCE Expo exhibition area. In this building we exhibit posters from different sites to give information on technologies and accomplishments on many Virtual World related projects.

This information should show up in your default Internet browser, e.g. IE or Firefox. If not, for best viewing result, you can modify the Second Life option to choose to use an external Internet browser.

To do so, select Edit/Preference; followed by choosing “Web”. Within that page, tick "Use external web browser (Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer)", followed by click "OK". This will set your default Second Life Internet browser to your normal browser.

If you try again now and right click on any poster to see the relevant web site, the web content should now show correctly in your normal Internet browser.

Have a great time browsing!!
