[games_access] GDC + IGDA Tech Migration

[Joshua Caulfield]

Good Morning,
 
In reading this it occurs to me that this group may not be aware that the IGDA now has webinar capabilities.  It's not the highest end webex you can buy, rather it's a standard gotowebinar instance, but I am currently putting together schedules of speakers.  If any of you were planning on doing a presentation at GDC and it got turned down and you would like to run it for the IGDA membership, I am happy to get you into the line up.
 
Please email me if you are interested.  I like to keep webinars to no more than 60 minutes (45 is preferable) with availability for 20-30 min of Q&A.
Also, just so not one is surprised later on, my hope is to find sponsors for these webinar programs, so there may be a sponsor underwriting the presentations.  When we get to the point where we actually have interested sponsors, I will absolutely allow the speaker to decline to participate if they feel that a sponsor doesn't represent them for some reason.
 
Anyways, I wanted to throw that out to this group, as it sounds like you need a venue, and I have one that is readily available to you.
 
Sincerely,
Joshua
 
Joshua Caulfield
Executive Director
IGDA

Hi all,

Unfortunately all of the proposals for game accessibility for GDC SF 
2010 were turned down. I was wondering if anyone on this list got 
anything in? There's a diversity "hearing" in the works within the 
GDC itself, as it seems that every proposal we know about having to 
do with diversity issues were eliminated in the first round. I'm just 
double checking to see if everything was axed on our topic. If you 
have not yet heard about the status of a proposal you may have turned 
in, count it as rejected. They've already sent out the acceptance and 
are now just sending out the funeral notices. :(

In other news, this weekend is the big "tech migration" to the new 
IGDA site so if you have been having trouble posting to the list, 
that is why I've just learned. Please email me at hinn at uiuc.edu with 
any questions of concerns.

Michelle
