[game_preservation] [Monthly SIG Roundup] July 2009

[Andrew Armstrong]

The SIG will have their first white paper presented at DiGRA, which Dan 
Pinchbeck is still organising and has posted news on, although I've been 
too busy to work on anything additional for the SIG and no one has other 
contributions this month.


      Preservation SIG Juny 2009 Work

I've been busy, so apart from some planning haven't got anything to put 
forward as work. The SIG hasn't got any other ongoing projects right 
now, but if you are interested, at all, in preservation to help us with 
our projects <http://www.igda.org/wiki/Game_Preservation_SIG> (and if 
you think something is missing, please tell us).


      Future Work for July 2009

All our projects need to get going really!


      Mailing List Discussions

If you've not joined our mailing list 
<http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/game_preservation>, please do 
so. We've never tried using our forums it seems :) we stick to 
old-fangled email. This will eventually change when the IGDA site 
changes over - although those wanting email can still get it.

June 
<http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2009-June/thread.html> 
had mainly discussions on the the SIG paper at DiGRA 
<http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2009-June/001236.html>. 
We'll sort the paper being presented, and I'll be down for the panel in 
October.

Devin also has kept us updated of some very neat items - the making of 
Earthworm Jim 
<http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2009-June/001243.html>, 
1Up on Michael Jackson 
<http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2009-June/001245.html>, 
and Unseen 64 Call for Art 
<http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/game_preservation/2009-June/001240.html>. 



      Preservation SIG Blog Updates / Links

/Have I missed anything this month? Then email it in to 
preservation_news @ igda.org !/

I'm afraid there's been nothing presented my way, or anything I've seen, 
to post about regarding the state of game preservation.


      Final Thoughts

Hopefully I'll get my spare time sorted to work on some of the projects. 
I want to try and finish or at least get going one per month. Please, 
however, if you're interested in helping just put some work into the 
information on the wiki would really help :)
