A lunch would be good on any day apart from the one where the IGDA hold
their GM, which I missed last year (and as a SIG member who aims to
record the IGDA's history at some point, should probably go listen to).<br>
<br>
Dinner would be good for most evenings, but I'm not sure, I will be
meeting some people on some of them - so I can't say "yes" to a date,
apart from Friday, which will be the AI dinner which I'll go to.<br>
<br>
If anyone is in the SF area and can't make the conference, get to the
IGDA party as Stuart said :) - although I'll pop to the an AI one in
the evening at some point, the IGDA one was fun enough to talk at with
my fellow scholars (not as fun for some of the industry people I've
been told, but each to their own), so I'd like to go for the time of it
(and I might be helping volunteer some of my time towards setting it up
:) ).<br>

Dinner will be tough for me, as I already have three scheduled!

BTW, if anyone is going and doesn't have a hotel yet, let me know. I
know someone who might be able to share a hotel room (if I'm going,
I'll be staying with him, but if we can split it three ways it's even
cheaper - only a half mile from the convention center, too).<br>

<p>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 style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">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>

<p>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>
