John Rittenhouse - Programming Addressing Human Scalabilitymaiden1988
With the size and time required for creating game content on the rise, the human scalability factor is an increasing issue in delivering larger more detailed worlds. A prime issue is single user editing tools lead to bottlenecks in interactions between users. One of the ways to alleviate these bottlenecks is with synchronized multiuser editing tools, which allow users to see each others work in real-time. One option to implement multiuser editing is a revision database. This talk covers the basics of revision databases as implemented at CCP: how they work, creating a programmer friendly API, branching, and backwards compatibility.

2. Community Engagement Strategies
We encourage you to engage with the ChamberExecs members in some way at least once a
week. There are two broad categories of engagement activity:
Contributing content
Interacting within the community
Within each of these categories are a number of different actions or features available within the
ChamberExecs community. Without going into the specific procedures needed to accomplish
each task, here's an outline of some ways you can engage the community.
Generate Exposure by Contributing Content
Each time an article, event, media or offer is added to your profile, the content is highlighted on
the homepage, chamber wall and throughout the community. Contributing content generates
exposure, positions you as a through leader, and helps you do more business!
Media: Share your expertise by posting media to your profile that is
distributed throughout the community and the Library. Upload and synch
your profile to the videos, presentations and images stored on YouTube,
SlideShare and Flickr.
Articles: Post articles and share bookmarks of interesting content from
anywhere on the web. From chamber news to informative articles,
bookmarks are a great way to share your expertise within the
ChamberExecs community.
Offers: Posting an offer is one of the most important tools to help you do
more business with ChamberExecs members. By posting offers for your
products or services, your business will immediately generate exposure
throughout community, offer directory, member bulletin and more.
Events: Post an Event, then extend the value of your event by posting
presentations, pictures and recaps to the community. Connect members
back to your event and reach the members that were unable to attend in
person.
Groups: Start a new Group or participate in one that you have already
joined. Groups can be open or private. Private groups are perfect for
communicating with your existing clients or prospects because you can
share information that is not visible to the rest of the community.
3. Interacting within the community
Meet more members and grow your business online 24 hours a day. ChamberExecs enables
you to connect, communicate and create more business opportunities on your schedule, at your
convenience.
Discussions: Post a new Discussion topic or share best practices and answer
questions in an existing Discussion
Wall: Post to the Community Wall to share news, announcements, links and updates.
Inbox: Have private conversations with members within the community. Private
message members that have a specific interest in content you posted to ensure that it
is seen.
Monitoring: Consistently monitor discussions, groups and events every week to
make sure your business is participating effectively and being represented within the
community.
Events: Increase participation for your Event by inviting members to register and see
who is already planning to attend. As the Event host you can message attendees and
edit your Event details at any time.
Leaders: Find members who attended offline, face-to-face events and invite them to
connect online.
Network 24/7: Build relationships within the community by connecting to members
and facilitating connections between mutual contacts.
Directory: Find chamber executives by position, chamber and region. Select a
chamber to view their location on the map, business profile, and executive contacts.
These examples are just a few of the various features available within ChamberExecs to help
you engage the Chamber Leadership. The basis for your success within the community is your
involvement and interaction with the members of the community. When members come first,
everybody wins!
