<p class=MsoNormal>Just to mention, GDC is very developer orientated. It's not
academic in most respects, and as I've noted, a percentage nearing 0 is based
on history and preservation (this year it'll likely only be our roundtable,
give or take maybe an unannounced panel or presentation by some older figure in
history like last year).<br>
<br>
There isn't such thing as covering travel costs from anyone I'm afraid :(
You'll have to get a ticket and cover your own costs, sadly. Certainly there is
no IGDA money (I'm funding my own travel, hotel, and costs over there :) ).
Speakers get a pass to enter free, but no other costs considered.<br>
<br>
There's no absolute<b> need</b> to come - it would be nice, but it is short
notice (the late sign up date is VERY soon!) and may be money wasted if you
can't get much out of the event. I think Henry was more asking if anyone was
already planning on going or was planning now the project was announced :)<br>
<br>
I'd love to see someone there representing it, but balance the money it'd cost
if you haven't considered it yet.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Dear Henry, <br>
indeed this a good idea. The schedule is a little bit tight but if it makes
sense it should be considered seriously. How would it be possible to make it
happen? I guess that KEEP could be introduced within the roundtable
meeting of the SIC, which you chair. Is there a budget from the GDC site for
covering e.g. travel costs? <br>
After the kick-off meeting at Thursday/ Friday we will see clearer, what travel
efforts we must expect during KEEP. Being also partly responsible for
dissemination of KEEP, I can yield your suggestion in the discussion. The Pro
seems to me that it is good in principle, to inform potential players so early
as possible, to be able to include their suggestions in the project as early as
possible. The Con might be, that it is just to early for us and it might make
more sense to participate at GDC next year, when we know more and maybe have a
more concrete approach to the industry. <br>
@ Dan: What do you think? <br>

do you think anyone from KEEP will be attending GDC this year? <br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone, <br>
<br>
Andreas has already let you all know about the KEEP project - I'm part of the
UK team working on the project, focusing on metadata standards and front-end. <br>
<br>
One of the things we've talked about is how to launch the project within the
games research community and there may be a really good opportunity for both
this, and highlighting preservation work, coming up this year. The DiGRA
conference is being hosted by Brunel University in London in September, and the
call for papers, panels, etc is currently up. I think it would be a really
prescient idea to suggest a preservation panel for the conference. We'd look
for 3 -4 presentations within this, one of which would be KEEP and the state of
emulation in relation to games. It would be great to also have another of these
being directly about the work of the SIG and it's key members, leaving two
papers open for whatever the SIG thinks is most appropriate. It would also be a
great opportunity to get together those of us who can't make GDC and to look at
how we can draw in the research community as a whole into this part of the
field. <br>
To put it in context, there wasn't a panel like this at the 2007 conference,
and only a single paper dealing with preservation at all at the 2005
conference, so it's long overdue. <br>
<br>
Any thoughts would be very welcomed. I'm happy to put together a draft proposal
and circulate it to the SIG to formalise things. The deadline for proposal is
6th March <br>
<br>
All the best, <br>
Dan <br>
