Greeting DC & Vicinity members,

Well, we had a pretty good turnout on Tues, 10 Nov 2009 when we met at Tyson's Corner for some beers and food at Gordon Biersch.  Thanks go to Trey Reyher for keeping the fire lit from the last meeting while we all caught up and also to Ross Dannenberg for help in "sponsoring" the event.  Many topics were discussed as we witnessed a traditional Redskins autograph signing during the evening.  Our next meeting is being scheduled for around 8 Dec 2009, but details are not set yet.

IGDA-Central has recently changed website management services, thus leading to our recent changes. We are still updating our website with our archived information, but in the meanwhile, we will begin posting jobs and news again for the local Austin development scene.

The Baltimore chapter is working with the national IGDA as we complete our transition to the new, unified web system.

This new web software will be our single point for chapter news, forums, board member voting, and much more.

Besides connecting the final system, we are in need of a Baltimore IGDA logo.  If you have art / design skills, and would like to make  logo; please submit it to Baltimore's content manager: Tina Tyndal.

Welcome to the new IGDA site. We're still settling in and updating stuff. A bunch of the old blog posts still need to be imported, and we're refreshing the links page, calendar, etc, etc.

Thanks for your patience. More soon...
