Alex Golub, founder of the Digital Genres movement at the University of Chicago and PhD student of one of the world's most highly reputed anthropologists, will hold an informal meeting on ethnographic practices as they apply in virtual worlds. The site, suitably, is the virtual world of Second Life. Since C. Steinkuehler's recent post, we have all been thinking deeply about the human subjects/ethnography issue, and with good reason. Golub's meeting is aptly timed.

I'm sorry I missed it. Can someone post a transcript of the proceedings?
I'm going to be running into the ethnography question as I continue looking at FFXI. I suspect data intake would have to be structured differently for more directed/telic sites like FFXI than it might for Second Life et al.
