Obama Transition Team – Healthcare Discussion in SL
Update & Correction: The original discussion took place on December 29, 2008 instead of January 3rd, as was originally reported. The article below has been corrected. In addition, the final report to be submitted to the Obama transition team has been released and is available at the SLHealthy wiki site.
(Chilbo) – SL resident Draxtor Despres reports on a recent gathering of Second Life residents who joined a virtual Health Care Community Discussion on December 29, 2008. Organized by resident Siri Vita, the 3-hour discussion resulted in feedback, ideas, and personal stories from Second Life residents that Ms. Vita will be passing along to the Obama Transition Team.
President-Elect Obama’s planning team is using web-based and social media tools in unprecedented ways to encourage participation and feedback from US citizens. Draxtor reports on how virtual worlds like Second Life might extend their reach beyond the Change.gov website to include citizens who might not be able to attend community discussions in the real world.
Great work Drax, and extra points for spotting Chilbo residents SunQueen Ginsburg, Olando7 Decosta, and Fleep Tuque in the video!
