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.

SIG Juny 2009 Work </span></h3>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.igda.org/wiki/Game_Preservation_SIG"

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.

Preservation SIG Blog Updates / Links </span></h3>
<p><i>Have I missed anything this month? Then email it in to
preservation_news @ igda.org !</i>
</p>
<p>I'm afraid there's been nothing presented my way, or anything I've
seen, to post about regarding the state of game preservation.
</p>
<h3><span class="editsection"></span><span class="mw-headline"> Final
Thoughts </span></h3>
<p>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 :)
