Meeting Report: June 23rd 2005
We held our regular meeting on June 23rd at Souled Out Cafe and experienced a good turnout of over 20 people. Thanks everybody for coming!
Meeting Notes:
1. Terence updated everyone on the progress of the Asian Game Developers Summit (AGDS) that he organizing along with other volunteers. There are already several foreign speakers that have agreed to appear as well as quite a few regional speakers. There are several openings left so anybody who wants to speak, please contact Terence ASAP. In addition, some funding has already been secured, but more is needed. Anybody who knows potential sponsors should also contact Terence. Finally, Josh and Brett agreed to be part of a roundtable discussion on funding game development.
2. Hilmy brought to everyone's attention that there were talented artists in Malaysia, that if given an outlet, would perhaps be able to better connect the artists with game developers with art needs. While everybody agreed communicaiton is good, no apparent solution was proposed.
3. Brett again brought up the idea of creating a professional certification for game development professions. Hasnul, Hilmy, Steven and Brett agreed to form a working group to examine the matter in more detail.
4. Hasnul expressed the desire to hold some sort of awareness event for game development in Malaysia. Some questioned what could be accomplished by such an event on its own, and several people recommended that the AGDS was probably the best venue for that.
5. A new developer Minimax (did I get the name right?) introduced themselves and explained the projects that they were working on. Several people offered support and encouragement to them and expressed hope they will regularly attend the meetings in the future.
6. Josh agreed to give a talk about the publishing end of the business at our next meeting in August.
If I missed out anything please let me know or post a comment to this report.
Thanks again everybody and hope to see you all at the next meeting in August!
