[games_access] GDC 2008 SIG proposal

[d. michelle hinn]

Hey Dimitris!

I have a place for Game Over 3D actually -- can you send me a link to 
info about it so that I can include it in a session proposal?

Thanks for the idea about using your article to help liven things up 
-- GREAT idea! Especially as I'm still working at...wow...it's 
already 3:30am????

Michelle

>>  Thanks Kevin -- I was just working on that in Word. I think I'm going to
>>  put Design and "Other" as track because there is no education summit this
>>  year so we can't go that direction. I've also put in a bid to IGDA to
>>  include this as a cross-SIG collaboration -- it might go into the IGDA
>>  track better. But we'll put it through now to see if it gets accepted or
>>  not.

>>  The IGDA track is a totally separate deal -- you'll notice it's not an
