>> Greetings fellow Casual Game SIG members,

>>

>> Welcome to 2010!  As I'm sure you know, 2009 was a year of tremendous

>> change in the casual game industry.  2009 saw the rise of social games and

>> the iPhone market, dramatic changes in the price structure of downloadables,

>> and a variety of other key developments.  As the industry changes, we want

>> to make sure the SIG is evolving our programs to meet your needs - both in

>> terms of what parts of the industry we're covering and in terms of how we're

>> covering them.

>>

>> So, to help us understand where we should be focusing our energy, please

>> tell us the following about our information/education programs:

>>

>>

>>    1. What kind of casual games would you like to see us focus on the

>>    most: PC Downloadable Games, Social Games, Ad-Supported Web Games,

>>    "Freemium" Browser Games, iPhone Games, Console Downloads, General Mobile

>>    Games, something else?  Feel free to pick multiple categories, but if you

>>    can rank them it's very helpful.

>>    2. How would you like to see us facilitate discussion and education

>>    around these issues: Regular voice chats/conference calls, Moderated or

>>    unmoderated forums, Regular group text chats, Webinars (with presentations),

>>    Quarterly print magazine, Edited webzine, Annual White Paper, other ideas?

>>     Again, multiple ideas are fine but a ranking is very helpful.

>>    3. Are there advocacy programs you would like to see us work on as

>>    well?  If so, would you like to see us focus on: Royalty Reporting,

>>    Developer Credits, Fair Contract Practices, Quality of Life, other things?

>>

>>  Please write back to the full mailing list with your thoughts, and

>> hopefully we can get a lively and spirited discussion going.  The Steering

>> Committee is eager to get great programming going for the SIG, but we need

>> you to help us figure out the priorities that are most important to the

>> community.  Your voice matters; please let it be heard.

>>

>> Best wishes for an awesome 2010,

>> Dave Rohrl

>> Creative Director, Playdom Inc.

>> Chair, IGDA Casual Game SIG

>> PS The Steering Commitee's next meeting is Monday, January 25, so input
