[game_preservation] The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (?)

Andrew,

Some confusion on the page you found.   The MADE is a new project in San 
Francisco, and I believe Alex Handy is on this list.  Yes, I'm on the 
Board.  Alex attended the Roundtable at GDC.  He has also been in direct 
contact with IGDA Central about software archiving; I don't know much 
about that.   The IGDA history part of the post is a separate matter, 
and I'm not sure what the MADE could offer there; I've separately been 
in contact with Gordon about that, but again, not much has happened yet, 
as Gordon and I have both been waiting for our schedules to clear a 
bit.   I'm guessing summer for anything concrete.
