IGDA Meet and Talk July 2008 [July 21st, 2008 – 8:41 am]

The meeting started around 8pm. Attending were people from Gamebrains, John Galt Games, Internexia, Codemasters,  students from MMU's game course, ex-students from LimKokWing's game course and several others.

Lih Hern giving the talk, flanked by his ex-colleagues in JGG.

One of the interesting points from his talk was the LGPL license, where code does not have to be distributed if the open-source code is dynamically linked, and how exceptions exist for commercial purposes.

Open source projects that could be useful for game development.

After talking about the nature of open-source applications, Lih Hern went to talk about games done with open source code, along with some demos.

The talk ended around 9++pm, and after a brief networking session, everyone took off for supper.
