Hi Everyone!

Patrick (of the UCT game development) sent a email along the lines of :

We are trying to set up a South African chapter of IGDA (the international game develops association). We will be holding a meeting in M212 in the maths building on Thursday (18th) at 2PM. Please do come along if you'd like to see what it's about. This is an initial meeting to gauge interest and talk about future planning etc.

I plan to be there, along with some other Tasty Poison people.

We'll be there.

Might make more sense to call it the Cape Town chapter, as I'm sure JHB/PTA will be keen to get one going too ;)

Great meeting!

Apparently there is a twitter account for the chapter : igda_CapeTown

Steve is tweeting on it for now, though like he said at the meeting, whomever wants to volunteer their time is welcome to take over roles in the Chapter.

Yeah, that was a lot of fun. We totally need to get regular events going. Sorry for hijacking things with all our legal questions, hopefully we can be the successful case study when everything's all sorted out ;)

I will add it as part of the discussion on the 14th at the Jhb Community event held at MS.

I'm really disappointed that I missed this meeting, but I would really like to attend any future meetings held in Cape Town. Is it possible to get onto a mailing list for these events, or must I just check back regularly on the forums?

You can check out this events page (http://www.gamedevsa.com/events) now and then to see what is new. I try to keep on top of what is happening and create entries there when an event is planned.

You could also follow this twitter list (http://twitter.com/#!/pl_young/lists/sa-gamedevs). I got a bunch of local developers on there and I'm sure they will tweet about events when they come up.

Follow IGDA_CapeTown (http://twitter.com/IGDA_capetown) on twitter :) I'm sure that we'll try to keep the forums up to date regarding events as well, but Twitter is really the source.
