[games_access] GDC 2008

[d. michelle hinn]

Hi all,

So as you know (or not) the GDC final proposals that go through the 
system (not the IGDA track) are due Oct 1st. I've set up a page on 
the wiki that I'll be filling in over the weekend with proposals that 
I know of that are going through the regular review system:

http://www.igda.org/wiki/GASIG_GDC_San_Francisco_2008

If you have an idea for a session that WE (ie, the SIG) should turn 
in, please also add that to the list.

If you are planning to put in a session that you DON'T want turned in 
with the SIG proposals, please add them to this list with a short 
description with a note saying that you are turning that in 
independently just so that I know how many game accessibility 
proposals are out there. This will also help me keep an eye out for 
them, as some, if rejected, might be able to be put in through the 
IGDA track (there might have to be a presentation format change but 
it's a "second chance" opportunity).

Finally -- to ensure that I have an idea about how many passes we 
will need for GDC, please send me an email and/or post it on the wiki 
if you are planning on attending GDC 2008. That way I can distribute 
names across the proposals as needed to ensure that as many people 
who want to attend as possible will be able to gain access to the GDC 
without worry.

As you know, we are using a different method for GDC 2008, replacing 
the really exhausting daily set up and take down of the accessibility 
arcade with an expo booth (also allows us to get the message across 
to those who only have very limited GDC access). We're also 
distributing the work of the sessions more so that I'm not "in 
charge" of all of the presentations. I might be in many of them but I 
won't be the one doing the main planning for all of them once we get 
past the submission process.

Thanks everyone!
Michelle
