[game_preservation] Kotaku: Videogame History MuseumKickstarter short on funds

[Alan Au]

By the way, for those of you who are lucky enough to have passes to PAX (they sold out in May), the Digital Game Museum will have a display on the 6th floor of the convention.  They're not associated with the Video Game History Museum, which is odd considering the two organizations are based just a few miles apart.  PAX also runs a Classic Console Freeplay area.  
I'll pass along meetup details to them as well, although with the show schedule, I'm not sure they'll have time for an off-site lunch.

    There's no doubt in my mind that the VG History Museum will hit
    their $30,000 mark.  I wish them all the best and can't wait to see
    what comes from their kickstarter campaign!

    

    I haven't been able to track down any of the members yet but I'm
    hoping they will be at PAX and able to join us for lunch.

    

    The first annual face-to-face meeting of The Consortium of
    Interactive Media Preservation Logistics, or CIMPL, will be on
    Sunday, August 28th at 12:30 at the Cheesecake Factory a block or
    two away from PAX Prime.  We will do lunch and an hour+
    brainstorming session to discuss avenues for collaboration and
    universal best practices development for Museums, Libraries,
    Archives and private collectors.

    

    Some of the areas to be discussed are storage environments,
    shelving/storage taxonomies, data migration/integrity, analog to
    digital capture, international nomenclature glossary development,
    artifact acquisition methods, money and much more!  We hope to have
    an alpha doctrine published within 6 months with a new revision
    published every subsequent 6 months.

    

    Please consider joining us and invite others who may be interested. 
    We'll be in the main lobby of the convention center at 12:00 with a
    CIMPL banner and will leave for lunch at 12:20.  I have about 10
    people from various disciplines confirmed attending and the
    reservation is for 20 people.  More than 20 are welcome though!  I'm
    sure they can fit us in.  The place is HUGE.

    

    Website and incorporation are to follow shortly but unfortunately
    not in time for PAX.

    

    See you there!
