Man, I need to boot up my IGDA history work, and get some information
off Jason before he leaves, hehe :) great guy too, didn't realise he
was there as a permanent guy for so long!<br>
<br>
As for the meeting, well, Henry, I personally think as one of the more
active SIG's (we might be behind education, writers and womens, but 4th
isn't bad :) ) we'd benefit from it even if it was only a core amount
of people - ie; people who want to discuss the SIG itself, not
preservation and history problems/solutions/etc. in general. So that
means things like discussing the next white paper, projects, advocacy
ideas, website improvements, outreach to organisations and people, and
advertisement of events/projects/whatever. Easy enough for me to post
up discussions here, but no one really replies, and it's simply easier
to discuss in person.<br>
<br>
However it's a tough call. Basically, Devin is a "maybe" for GDC, I'm
coming, but who else will be there on this list? Or that we know? I've
not heard a peek from anyone else! We'd need some form of numbers
perhaps?<br>
<br>
Either that or not worry about numbers, and have a decent meeting
regardless if it is two or two dozen. I've no idea how many rooms or
how long you're allowed in them for though (I'd presume an hour), but
since we are more active then 2/3rds of the SIG's, well, why not? :) we
need to use every resource possible, and it's not like everyone is in
the same place at the same time anyway! (Once in a year opportunity)<br>
<br>
It's up to you on this Henry I think, at least unless we have at least
a few more who will say "Yes" now, on this list or otherwise.<br>

We will have a roundtable or two at GDC this year. So my question is
about something else that is completely optional: is there any need for
an "off-book" meeting of the SIG or some sub-group of the SIG at GDC?
Jason Della Rocca has a couple of rooms that can be scheduled for
this. His note follows; just let me know if you think we should book
a room for anything.<br>

all, <br>
<br>
As usual, the IGDA is assigned a fixed pair of roundtable rooms that we
can using during GDC week. And, we also have the usual IGDA booth in
the lobby area. <br>
<br>
You are all welcome to book additional time in those rooms based on SIG
needs. Mind you, given we refactored all our roundtables to be "SIG
meetings", not sure how needed this is. But, perhaps you just want your
steering committee to meet, or a specific project team, etc. Up to you.
<br>
<br>
See the attached xls file for the current availability. <br>
<br>
If you want a time slot, let me know and I'll pencil you in. <br>
<br>
Regards, <br>
