[edit] Wiki
- Encourage people to use the wiki
- Try to work the wiki into everything we are doing with the SIG
[edit] Quarterly
- We have all the content together for the quarterly
- Have 3 articles
- Josh Hong Interview
- Virtual Round Table (5 panelists)
- Jonathan can help edit this if needed
- Legal issues in South Korea
- This may be web-only due to timing
- If we want to do print for GDC, we need to get someone to do layout
- Previous versions were done in Illustrator
- Can we get extra smaller articles about using the Wiki
- Need to put together text for wiki callout - Brian will put this on the Wiki
[edit] White Paper
- Waiting for Post-GDC
[edit] Job Postings
- Working with the Casual Games SIG & the CGA
- Need to talk to Jessica about getting Online Games Jobs onto the CGA listings?
- For now let's redirect the URLs to Jessica's site
- The Online Games Jobs list is relatively low traffic, but don't know why?
- Could/Should this go onto the Wiki?
- Maybe we leave it like this given the relatively low traffic right now
[edit] Podcast
- GameTrust has new hire with lots of history in podcasting
- Start doing a 10-15 minute telephone interviews
- Record straight from the phone
- Possibly get posted onto iTunes
- Allow users to subscribe to the feed
- This sounds like a great idea
- Phone interviews could be a lot easier even than doing a quarterly :)
- Scope question?
- For the Online SIG or the full IGDA?
- Try to scope it as wide as possible
- Brian will ping Jason Della Rocca to see if any other SIGs are doing this type of thing
- FYI Shockwave.com announced they are doing podcasts for some of their shorts
- Also Skunk has contacts with Adam Curry & his blog stuff
- Also Justin Hall is doing a lot of this
- Binary Revolution might be other people who can help out
- Check out mmoradio.com
- Go Jonathan, take the lead!
