The community members also worked on numerous projects to promote virtual worlds in the sphere of art, cross cultural collaboration, social enterprise, sustainable development, services based innovation and learning, both on internal IBM grids and public virtual world grids, such as <i><a href="/facts/Second_Life/MNmX14gw">Second Life</a></i> and other <a href="/facts/OpenSimulator/vhjuwrzD">Open Sim</a> based grids. </p>
