For the last 3 months or so we have been working on our new Grid.  We made a decision to scale down our presence in SecondLife  Why?

Many reasons  Zonja Capalini has an excellent post about a very similar situation, I could not express it better myself so please read and thank you Zonja

OpenSim can offer us what we been looking for in SL but could not find,  a guest account, backup system, hypergrid, private server a way to be in charge of what we do.

I am fully aware of the shortcomings OpenSim has at the moment however Troppo Grid has been surprisingly stable and so far I have nothing but praise and admiration for the OpenSim development team the progress in the last 3 months just amazing… Maybe because Troppo Grid only has 9 regions and at the moment has two servers looking after its existence it works so well (and I like to add at a cost less than half of  One SL region).  We are looking to develop  small Grids servicing the Real Estate and building Industry working as a marketing and selling tool, the Grid’s all connecting via hypergrid technology. The final product  working much like the 2D net as we know and use today. Oh and I forgot to say we are having plenty of fun putting all this together thank you all for helping ………
