I will be at the IGDA Charter meetings on...Monday I think it is. One of them is International Best Practices where I hope to bring some things up about networking between chapters nationally and internationally to better help coordinate contacts among IGDA members travelling or moving between chapters and for national and international SIG projects such as Preservation and the Memorials Project. (This and I get a $50 stipend and a meal for just being there!)<br>
<br>There are a couple of interesting-looking panels going on at the same time as the SIG, but one of them is done by Ian Bogost, who I know and could probably get presentation details from. He's probably mainly pimping his new book about the 2600, which should go on the resource list anyway. Too bad he can't attend, but I'll see if he can make it to the super-secret lunch meeting if he isn't too busy prepping. (You do know that 1:30-2:30 is lunchtime, right? Are we going to have those nasty boxed lunches again, or are they gonna give us some REAL food?).<br>

Here is some information about the Game Preservation SIG's activities
at GDC.<br>
<br>
First, the annual roundtable is part of the GDC program. It will take
place on Friday, the 27th, from 2.30 to 3.30pm, Room 113, in North
Hall. This meeting is open to all.<br>
<br>
Second, this year we will have a private meeting for SIG members and
others who know about it. <span><span> :-) </span></span>This
meeting will take place just before the roundtable, from 1.30pm to
2.30pm, in the IGDA's luxurious private meeting room. The location just
happens to be Room 112, right next door. <br>
<br>
I have a couple of agenda items for the private meeting from the NDIIPP
project (the Library of Congress project, as some know it). In the
public meeting, we will review the year's activities and plan for next
year. If you have agenda items, please send them to me and I'll gather
everything up for the meeting(s).<br>
