OSgrid Update 2015-03-09

REOPENING PROGRESS
Touch wood, but so far, the reopening of OSgrid has gone extremely well.

There has also been a 30% increase in concurrency since return to service.

SERVICE STATUS
While there were a handful of bumps settling in, the new asset cluster has performed extremely well.

Along the way we have found the occasional bad asset, which were nicknamed “chicken bones” and require an admin to intervene.

But, the admin team has been very quick to find and remove these bad assets as they are encountered.

From investigation these assets were long standing corruption in the asset data which existed long before the RAID crash, which the new asset service has uncovered for us to clear up.

After the assets are rezzed, the problem occurs, and an admin clears the bad asset from disk, the uploaded replacement (good) assets match the asset hash and repair the damage.

VEHICLE CODE AND COMMUNITIES
Improvements in the base OpenSimulator vehicle code have led car, boat, and airplane enthusiasts to begin collecting together in their respective communities.

SANDBOX IMPROVEMENTS
Sandbox Plaza III has been updated to provide water space for boat developers, and NPC support is coming soon.
