As with last time, the Town Hall will be broadcast via streaming audio in Second Life with Residents asking questions via SKYPE and Philip responding using voice. We also hope to provide a ‘type along’ transcript as Philip speaks as well, to be broadcast on repeaters for those that prefer or are unable to use the voice stream. We will also provide a transcript here in the forums after the fact, although it may take several days to post.
We'll provide a URL in advance of the meeting so if you want to listen in from the comfort of your own SL home you can. We will also tape the entire event and create a podcast, which will then available at http://secondlife.com/community/media.php (and via iTunes), for those who can't make the original meeting.
If you do want to attend the meeting in person, it will be held at the Pooley Stage .
Want to type in your questions during the event? Based upon feedback from last month’s event, we’re trying something new. If you’d like to ask questions, simply join the group "Linden Town Hall Questions" – which will be monitored during the event for extra questions between Skype calls. Please note: Due to obvious time constraints, not all questions will be asked!
More Info about Using Skype :
We aren't soliciting questions in advance. Philip plans to start out with some thoughts he wants to share, and then we'll open for call-in questions. Using Skype, you'll be able to call "lindenlive" to ask a question.
There are three qualifications for a person to call in:
1. Headset - The reason is simply because speakers combined with a microphone almost always guarantees unpredictable echo.
2. Turn off SL Audio During Call – Please, please, please - when you are called into the conference, you must have already turned off your computer’s audio. The 10-15 seconds of delay between the Skype conference and the sound heard in Second Life from the stream
3. Callers should be able to speak in languages Philip knows.

Friendly Tip: Anyone trying Skype for the first time should use the built in test call so they can hear themselves and adjust their volume and headset prior to calling in. It's common for callers to either chew on their mic (have it too close) or to have the microphone just under their nose or mouth. Sometimes the best sound is achieved when the mic boom is near your chin - away from air flow.
