PAX 2010 schedule

Dan — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:14:52 +0000

For those PAX attendees looking forward to my panel on Legal Issues in Gaming, we’re scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 5 at 3:30pm in the Wolfman Theater. If you are an iOS user, consider picking up “The Conventionist” (it’s free) and downloading the PAX plugin. You can then build a customized schedule, set an alarm for the panel, check the latest information, get a map, and all sorts of useful little tricks. I’ll be available throughout the conference for meetings and meet-ups; so please feel free to send me an email if you want to catch me on the floor.

Shakeups in the IGDA Board and Leadership

Dan — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:26:44 +0000

Details are a bit sketchy right now, but allegations are surfacing that the shake up in the IGDA leadership has something to do with the major restructuring of the organization, recently announced by board members Wendy Despain and Gordon Bellamy. Personally, I’m not convinced yet. Joshua Caulfield is apparently moving on to a new ED position elsewhere, which makes me think he wasn’t forced out and the timing is just coincidental. Brenda Brathwaite’s resignation appears to be the same way, per her twitter post: “@DC_IGDA @tinysubversions Nothing exciting on my end. My current work/personal responsibilities are such that I just don’t have bandwidth.” Also makes sense; she’s a busy, working designer/educator with a lot of responsibilities on her time. So at this point, I’m not convinced that there is a case of anything other than coincidental timings.

The IGDA IP Rights SIG Steering Committee elections are over, and the new members are myself, Tom Barbalet (chair), Stephen Rubin, and Ross Dannenberg. The SIG was responsible for the development of the IGDA IP Rights White Paper, and hopes to revise and expand on the existing document this year. If you have any questions or suggestions for the Committee, please feel free to contact me.
