[games_access] GDC Austin -- Michelle and Richard

[Kevin J. Bierre]

Eelke,

I'm planning to go to FuturePlay. I think Michelle and Dimitris are also planning to attend.

There's a rough cut at a tutorial schedule out on the Wiki under the SIG projects. We're looking for some feedback. 

You're right about it being mostly academics. In addition to pushing research, we could also push getting accessibility into design and implementation courses.

                                        Kevin
