2.   Description

Please provide a brief statement about your project in terms that are understandable to the target consumer of the library or project, i.e. an elevator pitch for the project:

Our World is an exciting immersive next generation 3D XR/IR (Infinite Reality) educational game/operating system/ascension
training platform/social network/ecosystem teaching people on how to look after themselves, each other and the planet using
the latest cutting-edge technology. It teaches people the importance of real-life face to face connections with human beings and
encourages them to get out into nature using Augmented Reality similar to Pokémon Go but on a much more evolved scale. This
is our flagship product and is our top priority due to the massive positive impact it will make upon the world...

Our World will be the first AAA MMO game and 2D/3D Social Network to run on HoloChain and the Blockchain. It will also be the first to integrate a social network with a MMO game/platform as well as all of these technologies and devices together. As with the rest of the game, it will be leading the way in what can be done with this NextGen Technology for the benefit and upliftment of humanity.

Our World is an open world real life simulation game. The smartphone geolocation AR version will have similarities to Pokémon
go but with a far more evolved, immersive, and personal feel. It will act as a decentralised distributed crowd sourced
replacement to Google Maps/Earth. Each user will create an avatar that will act as their digital twin just as the 3D world acts as a
digital twin of the real world. Phase 1 is the AR version which we are aiming to have finished by next year with some help. Phase
2 is the 3D VR Console/Desktop version which we are aiming for 2022/2023, again with help from a team.

Please provide a 1 sentence (<140 character) summary of your project to help users when searching the .NET Foundation projects

3.   Project Governance

Please complete this section about who will be maintaining the open source project and how it will run.
Project Lead:
(Who is the primary contact point for the community and the .NET Foundation when discussing governance of the project.)

Name: David Ellams
Email: david@nextgensoftware.co.uk
GitHub Profile URL: https://github.com/dellams

Committers:

Which individuals have commit / write access to the repository, what is their GitHub ID and who is their employer (if contributions are on behalf of an employer)

https://github.com/kevinbanas
https://github.com/blacqvve
https://github.com/Cslater1990

They are all independent open source contributors.

Governance Model:

Please describe how new code changes are proposed to the project, how those changes are reviewed and how a decision is made to accept proposed changes. Also describe the process for identifying and appointing new committers.

Pull Requests are made and then David Ellams code reviews and then either feedbacks what needs to be changed or accepts and merges the changes in...

New committers can come from anywhere such as holochain, eosio, telos, Ethereum and many more blockchain communities, Plus from SEEDS, Unity, .NET communities and anywhere else out there, this project connects the whole internet so the target audience is everyone! ;-)

CLA

If already an OSS project, was a Contribution License Agreement in place for contributions accepted? How does the project check who has signed one?

Up to now this has been used, but we are open to any recommendations the .NET Foundation may have in this area.. thank you.

6.   PR Plan

Please summarize the public relations plan for the announcement when joining the foundation (and releasing as open source if appropriate). What is the main story we wish to promote, through what channels, what issues should we be aware of?  For significant news events then please also work with your .NET Foundation contact to ensure a full PR plan is developed.

7.   Infrastructure Requirements

Please describe any infrastructure requirements for the project. For example, how will build servers be operated? Any web hosting or service hosting requirements? Do we need to set up SSL certificates or provide Authenticode Code Signing arrangement for releases?

Currently the OASIS API is deployed on a private server on WinServ:

http://oasisplatform,world/swagger.

Soon it will also be deployed on Azure, Holochain and ThreeFold P2P networks and more to follow...

8.   Additional Notes

Please provide any additional information required or use this area for notes during the onboarding process. If this open source project has similarities with any other projects in this space then please detail them and why this project is different. If there are any potential issues that you feel the project might need help with early on then also state them here and discuss with your .NET Foundation Contact.

Since our time is very tightly pressured because we are still looking for funding so we only have limited time to work on this, we have not been able to tick all of your eligible boxes above, we hope you may be able to either waiver these or help us with them? Because after all, this project is for a VERY GOOD cause so we hope you can find it in your hearts to do all you can to fast-track this project and to also help support it anyway you can... we are hoping by joining the .NET Foundation that it will get the exposure it needs to attract both funding and devs to help speed it up... its been a lot for just one guy (David Ellams), mainly working on it since 2013! Thank you :). 👍

In case you have not noticed, the world could really do with a project like this right now! :) This would also give VERY GOOD PR to you and Microsoft... :) Thank you.

We are about to launch a Kickstarter campaign and would love to have this on-boarded before then so we can count on the support of the .NET Foundation, Microsoft & the .NET community for this campaign, thank you. HELP US HELP YOU! ;-)

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE.

TOGETEHR WE CAN CREATE A BETTER WORLD.

In Love, Light & Hope,
The Our World Tribe
