Ian,
I agree about the skills updates..users should be able to update and overwrite their old entries…
Aphra.
thanks Steph…
I will be looking into the French approach and today I heard that the German gov. is going to, or is already, using a tax on games sold to fund game development..don’t know the details yet but hope to soon…

You can either enter an entirely new entry using the form on the site and I will replace your old one or if the updates are relatively few you can just e-mail the updates to me and I will add them to the end of the current entry..

One of the lecturers on the multimedia course in DCU is interested in doing a PhD in a sound related topic at the sonic arts centre and I told him to see if there might be any practical type projects going on with games companies…he would be keen that his project would have a practical application and perhaps even to investigate working part of the time in a games company..if any of you know of possibilities in this area let me know and I will pass on the info..

we have some research reports already on the site which was an early attempt at letting researchers in Ireland know what others are doing.. you are welcome to send us details on your projects..See here
but we could get a games or SIG going and have something tied onto awakenings…or organise something separately later on….
in fact one of the things I thought it would be good to organise next year was an academic games workshop/networking event..
and don’t forget that Trinity is hosting Eurographics next summer…which will be a great opportunity to get Irish games researchers together as well..
See also the education and training thread in this forum..

the green machine may become the Belfast to Dublin shuttle..

actually, can Jamie or some other volunteer, check Toners don’t have any parties booked in that night..before we finalise this venue and date..
and hey Ronny, maybe in future I can collect you and any other Belfast people on the way down!! No complaints mind you about my stuffy little car will be tolerated..
