[game_preservation] Library of Congress Wants to Preserve Video Game Culture

[Henry Lowood]

Jason, et al.

The list of participants circulated before the meeting included one 
name from EA (not somebody I know), and there was one lawyer there 
who has worked on games quite a bit, but that was it.  However, there 
were 8-10 people in the breakout, from a variety of backgrounds (none 
directly in gaming) who expressed interest in preservation of games 
or game culture.
