[game_preservation] GDC 2009 Report, Roundtable Notes

[Andrew Armstrong]

Hey all,

I got around to doing my notes from the GDC 2009 meeting and roundtable, 
feel free to check them out here:

http://www.igda.org/wiki/Game_Preservation_SIG/SIG_Resources/2009_Roundtable

If anyone sees a point they want to discuss, or want more details on 
something specific I can help in this thread. Overall some good 
discussion on the legal and ethical issues surrounding preserving 
developer's materials, well worth a quick read if you are interested in 
that area. We really ran out of time too.

As for the new projects/work, I'll likely write up some briefs for and 
put up wiki pages before putting out a call for volunteers to help, but 
feel free to say if you are interested! We really need developer input 
into a lot of items, and even if you can't put yourself down as a 
volunteer, being in touch that you don't mind being contacted for 
information on some of the topics would be great - the legal ones are 
going to be quite country-specific!

There isn't much amazingly exciting work to do (information and 
standards being what people want) - so if anyone has any other 
suggestions for things to do, just say :) I've got one suggestion that 
I'll be undertaking at least - a better Bibliography/resource 
collection/site, which I discussed out of the meeting.
