I emailed Bob and he will let us use a room at ACC, it will have Internet access, and we can set up a local wifi network for the meeting. He needs a few days notice to find a room. Now we have to pick a time and a day. Please post a message, or send one to Chris or I personally, stating that you are interested, what format you would like the meeting to have, what you are interested in, and what day of the week at what time is best for you. Here are my thoughts on the subject. Format: there are many possible formats. I would like to see an open discussion where anyone can ask a question and the whole group chimes in and discusses the question. I would also like to see the group break up into smaller groups that are interested in a specific problem or topid. I see this as more of a study group that any thing else. Frequently I would like to see people demo their current projects, finished or not, and discuss how they did it and what problems they had. Once in a while I hope people will do formal presentations on a subject, tool, or product, that they are interested in. Topics: Anything related to the art, science, or business of game programming. Time: personally, Thursday nights and Saturday afternoon are best for me. I could also make it on Monday, at least for a while. I can do Tuesday and Wednesday if I can get a ride. Time: evenings after 7 p.m. or weekends in the early afternoon. Please forward information about the game programming sig to your friends. We need to get a critical mass of people to make this work. You folks out side of Austin, if you are interested in forming a game programming sig please post your interest on this list. There is good reason to try to form these sigs in as many places as possible. Bob Pendleton > > Sounds good.
