[game_preservation] SW/TX PCA/ACA Game Preservation Panel (San Antonio, TX, April 20-23, 2011)

[Devin Monnens]

Zach,

I'm not sure if Judd and Ken will be presenting on the panel yet (haven't
heard from them with regards to this). However, they attend the panel. The
panel will be in the Computer Studies area. I'm not sure how we work with
regards to the PCA/ACA as this is the Southwest/Texas group that I am
affiliated most strongly with. I do tend the Library and Archives panels
though. That's going to be odd if we have some papers on game preservation
in a different section...

But yes, we could have an unofficial gathering at the conference as well to
discuss preservation. This is a great idea!
