IGDA news March 15, 2004
The Vienna chapter of the IGDA has recently been revived (and the site has been totally revamped too). Tomorrow is the first chapter meeting in over a year. It should be pretty cool. I will be talking about the Imagina 2004, i.e. reusing all the stuff I started writing for my blog. I will publish it here later. First I need to put it into some kind of decent shape. Oh well, nothing like the night before to prepare for something.
I also just noticed that there are finally some IGDA chapters in Germany. This has taken a really long time. There was the USF, but they haven’t done much the last couple of years. Last year, Aruba Studios started organising the Quo Vadis events, and a developers’ conference in Leipzig. Other things have been going on on regional and national levels. The lack of initiative that I complained about at the end of 2002, especially compared to what’s going on in France, seems to have changed.
So now there’s a Hamburg chapter and a Frankfurt chapter. The latter is organised by Jochen Hamma, who used to work at Attic Software, on the DSA (aka Realms of Arkania) games. Good luck!
Wish I was there for this meeting, sounds like a lot of good stuff will be discussed…
Have fun!

Augh! Big Brother is watching us :) Just kidding, I think it will be good too.
