[games_access] GDC 2007 -- Dream Team Panel. Documentary compression question?

[Robert Florio]

Reid and members of GDC accessibility committee with our group and not only
push for accessibility campaign this year for a game design challenge but
put together one ourselves?  I'd be all in.  Last year they did not even
have any working demos it was just all concept.  By the way where can I find
the people to contact in the list to get them to make the design challenge
this year accessible game design I would start e-mailing now?  Good to hear
from you Reid.

On a side note does anyone know how I can turn my footage I took at the GDC
last year with my handycam Sony DVD.  I have all this footage and didn't
realize none of my movie creation packages, Adobe Premiere, after effects,
flash are reading the disk as any recognizable format and it's driving me
crazy.

Every year GDC has a Game Design Challenge based around a theme. One
year it was the theme of love or romance, last year it was a game that
could win the Nobel Peace Prize. I think if we offer this as a worthy
design challenge, some of the big names might like to stretch their
imagination. Here's a list of people who I'd like to see:

Warren Specter
John Carmack
Clint Hocking
Keita Takahashi (Katamari Damacy)
Ernest Adams
Al Lowe
Noah Felstein
Hal Barwood
John Romero

I think Ernest, Warren, Clint, Keita would be easier to convince, if
it was part of the main GDC design challenge.
