[game_preservation] Private SIG meeting at GDC

[Devin Monnens]

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!)

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?).
