Showcasing 3D Virtual Lab Training and Career Center at OSCC2020
Was delighted to have a Community Expo Booth showcasing my 3D “Virtual Laboratory Training, Career Recruitment and Retention (VLTC) Project at the OpenSimulator Community Conference 2020 (OSCC20). Indeed exciting! In November 2014, I delivered an oral presentation about my vision as a medical laboratory professional... "Real to Virtual; Virtual to Real (R2V2R) in Laboratory Science" at the 2nd annual Opensimulator Community Conference. The Virtual Laboratory Training, Career Recruitment and Retention (VLTC) Project aka "Virtual Laboratory Training and Career Center (VLTCC)" emerged out of my vision to integrate real life clinical laboratory training; technical information-sharing, medical laboratory career awareness; networking; and public health updates within Opensimulator-generated 3D immersive virtual worlds. The Community Expo Booth offered an opportunity to share the in-world and real life research; building; and other activities associated with the Kitely-based Virtual Laboratory Training and Career Center (VLTCC).
The OpenSimulator Community Conference (OSCC2020) is an annual conference that focuses on the developer and user community creating the OpenSimulator software. The virtual conference features keynote sessions, presentations, workshops, exhibits, and social events across diverse sectors of the OpenSimulator user base. It was held on December 5th and 6th. It is hosted by AvaCon Inc. and Opensimulator Community Conference.
Although the Conference is over, you can still visit my Community Expo Booth, “Virtual Laboratory Training and Career Center (VLTCC) - Real to Virtual; Virtual to Real (R2V2R) in Laboratory Science" located in OSCC Expo Zone 5, Booth #29. The hypergrid address is: http://cc.opensimulator.org:8002/.

Reflecting on My Journey as a Hypergridding "Frontier" Scout
As my Kitely-based avatar teleported into the recent Opensimulator Community Conference 2020, I found myself reflecting on a 2011 Hypergrid Business article, "Curiosity, pioneer spirit drive hypergridders" written by Miriam Pia. At the time, I was hypergrid jumping with fellow members of The Hypergrid Adventurers Club founded by John Lester also known as “Pathfinder Lester”. The Hypergrid Adventurers Club was based in JokaydiaGrid, an Opensimulator-generated virtual world that was focused on education and the arts. It was a group of in-world explorers interested in discussing and exploring 3D immersive virtual worlds on the Hypergrid.
In the article, several quotes from yours truly Sally S. Cherry aka SarVana Cherry in OpenSim and Sally Cherry in Kitely were shared... “At times, I feel like a frontier explorer and I look forward to the day when the exploration glitches will be considered just growing pains,”...“I see hypergrid jumpers as ‘testers for future travelers’ or ‘frontier scouts’ who will enhance the experiences of future jumpers,”... “Thus the main reason for my real life and virtual-based excitement and interest in OpenSim exploration including hypergrid jumping.”
Well, nine years later in the "frontier", I am still excited, interested, and still jumping on the Hypergrid (teleporting). Now in 2020, the "exploration glitches" are few and the experience has indeed been enhanced by a lot of software development and testing. Hence, the "growing pains" were worth every successful teleport made now. The virtual "frontier" is a~m~a~z~i~n~g!!
