Weekly Meeting 79 is happening on Wednesday October 26, 2022 from 9:00 AM PST(16:00 UTC) - 10:00 AM PST (17:00 UTC)

You can add it to your calendar here.

We'll be meeting again in the omi-weekly-meeting channel of the AngellXR/OMI Discord.
We regularly use the # omi-meeting-chat channel for text chat.

Who we are and why we're here:

The Open Metaverse Interoperability Group (OMI) is focused on bridging virtual worlds by designing and promoting protocols for identity, social graphs, inventory, and more. Our members include businesses and individuals working towards this common goal.

If you’re an observer or here for the first time, this is a meeting where people who work on the OMI group initiatives discuss updates and contribution opportunities for current projects and goals. This is your chance to jump in and help!

We welcome you to introduce yourself in #omi-meeting-chat as we dive into the agenda items. There will be an open floor in the last 15 minutes of the meeting (agenda permitting) where we can discuss any items you feel are relevant to the current or near future OMI goals.

gLTF

Demo

using thirdroom exporter

Gives a nice interface to show what the values will look like for audio. Green is what you will hear, and yellow what you won't

When it's all set up in a space, the third room exporter will package everything for you

threeomi loader

just add the audio extension, which will parse the glb file, and the audio will respond.

You can

spatial audio

Other screens:

You can export omi khr audio extensions.

In react-three-fiber if you want to support OMI audio, just add the three-omi package.

Colliders are where it gets different:

additional information

[mrmetaverse]

lol I tried to keep up 😅

[mrmetaverse]

We could start demoing these extensions using our own Wordpress site too!

[mrmetaverse]

Networking will be enabled in the future so we can have a field trip into the site.

Draft Events 101 with OMI policy

Sindhu, Evo, and others have been working together to draft a draft proposal for #301

Proposes items like having a speakers bureau and more.

[mrmetaverse]

Morpheus has volunteered to help out as well. They have experience in standards as well, and reference items if needed.

[mrmetaverse]

Proposing a new Role: Someone to oversee and field events

Sindhu and Evo discussed the need for a new potential champion that can oversee events.

[pcsmgnt]

Definitely needed and ties into the opportunities we are bringing back from the MSF Speakers' Bureau postings that are currently being shared in the MSF Opportunities channel on Discord. Alex Crabb manages these activities for MSF. I think the form @LightLodges ha suggested would be a great way to proactively match the demand/supply side of things.

• Some have expressed concerns with trust and consent, others feeling unsafe or unwelcome.
• We are a diverse group of different backgrounds with differing opinions.
• We are focused on a unified vision, and the good things we can accomplish together.
• When giving feedback, ask for consent first. "Are you ready to receive a little feedback?" That can make a major difference.
• We come to this community for various reasons. For some of us, the community is healing and empowering.
• We want to be excited to work together and to see each other.
• Please be mindful of how you are interacting with others in the community, and how it effects there.
