    Day 2 at the Fedaral Consortium on Virtual Worlds was a little less eventful. There were two panels (one with international speakers and one with developers). There were also a series of workshops on different interest areas surrounding VW's (i.e. Education and Training, Development, Governance/Policy/Acquisition, Security, etc.).I attended the Education and Training workshop. Much of the discussion surrounded best practices, communities of practice, and combining resources to help build a VW picture/strategy for organizations. Much of the information will be pushed to the FCVW wiki.
