July 2009
The SIG will have their first white paper presented at DiGRA, which Dan Pinchbeck is still organising and has posted news on, although I've been too busy to work on anything additional for the SIG and no one has other contributions this month.
Preservation SIG Juny 2009 Work
I've been busy, so apart from some planning haven't got anything to put forward as work. The SIG hasn't got any other ongoing projects right now, but if you are interested, at all, in preservation to help us with our projects (and if you think something is missing, please tell us).
Future Work for July 2009
All our projects need to get going really!
Mailing List Discussions
If you've not joined our mailing list, please do so. We've never tried using our forums it seems :) we stick to old-fangled email. This will eventually change when the IGDA site changes over - although those wanting email can still get it.
June had mainly discussions on the the SIG paper at DiGRA. We'll sort the paper being presented, and I'll be down for the panel in October.
Devin also has kept us updated of some very neat items - the making of Earthworm Jim, 1Up on Michael Jackson, and Unseen 64 Call for Art.
Preservation SIG Blog Updates / Links
Have I missed anything this month? Then email it in to preservation_news @ igda.org !
I'm afraid there's been nothing presented my way, or anything I've seen, to post about regarding the state of game preservation.
Final Thoughts
Hopefully I'll get my spare time sorted to work on some of the projects. I want to try and finish or at least get going one per month. Please, however, if you're interested in helping just put some work into the information on the wiki would really help :)
