Upon discussing the Student Chapter idea in last night's IGDA Chapter Meeting, we have these feedback:

i) Clubs formed in Universities take time to solidify and gain strength, thus it's not realistic to expect a Uni/College to create a game dev club/chapter and have them immediately become a solid participant.

ii) Students do need an outside body to go to, so that they can be part of something bigger before they form an extension of it within their campus.

iii) The notion that MMU students would dominate a single student chapter, due to their large representation, is not really an issue, because IGDA can steer it ensure it remains fair to everyone.

So, I'm creating this thread so that we can propose actions and discuss more details on how to create IGDA Malaysia's Student Chapter. We have determined people (at least those who spoke!) prefer a single body representing all students studying game development, so let's figure out the how.

Propose commitee members if you like, suggest activities, recommend policies or post criticisism. The point is to make sure everyone's opinion is heard, so that the Student Chapter can really represent the game dev students of Malaysia. Let hear what you say, people!
