[game_preservation] Private SIG meeting at GDC

[Henry Lowood]

Devin,

Yeah, I know. Conflicts are unavoidable, but I had been hoping that time 
for the private meeting would be relatively free and conveniently close 
to the official meeting.    So I figured for the 1.30 meeting having it 
during lunch would be ok. 

As for the conflict with Ian's talk, the word "bummer" comes to mind, 
but that was GDC in its wisdom.  Basically, they put the only two 
historical thingies on the program up against each other -- 
deathmatch!   Seriously, that was a rather uncool bit of conference 
programming.
