Last week I received an email from the organisers of SLACTIONS 09, an academic research conference to be held in Second Life. The focus is wider than Second Life though – OpenSim, Open Croquet, Activeworlds, Open Source Metaverse and Project Wonderland are also on the agenda.

The real-world aspect of SLACTION involves local chapters – currently those include Brasil, Hong Kong, USA and Europe. The organisers have invited Australian academic institutions or private research institutions from Australia and New Zealand to hold local physical chapters.

If you’re interested, email the organisers: info AT slactions.org or check out the detail on their website.
