Havas Interactive became part of Vivendi Universal in Ireland and they employ from 70-140 people in East point business park in Dublin localising games for global markets.. The numbers go up as they work on the titles for the Christmas market..

For those who will be attending the next shindig can you put your thinking caps on in advance of the evening – mightn’t be possible once we start into the Guinness – cause I am looking for suggestions for games industry/business guest speakers from abroad.
I am talking to EI about possibly jointly organising a couple of workshops and I would like input from you as to who might be most useful to invite to Ireland to speak.
One useful suggestion is Ernest Adams and apparently he is in the UK now…you may have seen his features on gamasutra..
They could be business, publishing, technical, academic people …just well established and experienced..
any others…??Aphra.
I had heard there was a move to set up a chapter..will keep an eye. Are they going to be organising face to face meetings?
Aphra.
I think the last Friday of September (26th) seems to be winning it at this stage.. So is Toners a good place to meet or should we consider elsewhere..?

Hi Matt,
I was just looking at the website for Abertay the other day and it seems they have two courses, a BSC in Computer Game Technology which you would need honours maths for and a BSC in Computing (Game Development) which you don’t need honours maths for.
Check them out and see for yourself http://www.abertay-dundee.ac.uk/applicants/prospectus/index.cfm

Thanks Peter…we are talking to someone else about their experiences in DIT so when I find out how far on they are on their piece I will get back to you..
Aphra .
Yes that was I. Hope the meetings went well..I know you had business to attend to.
I thought first you were another company but there you go. where have you been hiding? Are you on the IT campus?
Anyway it would be great to meet you at a shindig so let us know what day of the week suits you as we have to accommodate people from outside Dublin as much as possible..

PS I’ll get my Edinburgh report up once computer services return my computer – they seem to have wiped my hard drive by accident!!
