“Make every day a Mandela Day”
Nelson Mandela has made a clear call to use his legacy to initiate a movement that can help make the world a better place. Mandela Day was launched in New York in July 2009 with a series of events and activities calling upon people to recognise each and everyone’s individual ability to make an imprint and change the world around them. In November 2009 a UN resolution recognised July 18th, Nelson Mandela’s birthday, as Nelson Mandela International Day, a day of service to humanity.

Challenges Entered:
Interaction will be with Facebook applications, database enabled websites and the Second Life Grid at first. The idea is to allow the virtual world to communicate with the web at large creating a 2D/3D Mashup. LibSL, an open source implementation of the Second Life protocol is at the base of our efforts to enable communication to and from the virtual world. We are also looking at XMLRPC and HTTP methods to allow websites and web apps to drive the 3D in Second Life. Inworld training, 3D Plots, Weather, GPS Tracking, Simulations and more can all be achieved by connecting datastores with the Second Life Grid. www.secondlife.com www.facebook.com www.sldnug.net www.itprosinsl.net www.siliconreef.net http://blogs.msdn.com/zainnab/archive/2007/12/09/c-day-is-a-success.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/zainnab/archive/2008/02/19/c-day-v-2-another-great-event.aspx
