[game_preservation] Game Developers Conference 2013

[Benj Edwards]

This is an excellent idea.  I'd love to collaborate and meet up with you 
guys more, but I can't travel much because I've got two very young kids 
at home -- and I live on the east coast anyway.

I'm not familiar with how Google hangouts/chats/etc work these days.  
Can someone figure something out, and maybe we can have a meeting on 
there?  I suppose I can look into it tomorrow morning.
