[game_edu] loopy Proposal - The Aggies!

[Christopher Linford]

Count me in, I agree.
All these discussions about what should be in courses is pointless unless the people around us do not take us seriously. This seriously effects our recruitment.
Interestingly this is one subject the press could lay into but  haven't.
SkillSet in England should pilot this.

I am at the LCC (University of the arts London)

Subject: [game_edu] loopy Proposal - The Aggies!

 With apologies to Monty Python, I an getting a bit sick of the Industry
(and Qantm College
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=30968) seeing us as
third rate "trainers" at best. And they get BAFTAs  , dinners and
awards. So, I'd like to propose that we look into developing an award
for lecturers and students who make meaningful contributions to Games
Development. Let's call them the "Aggies" - Academic Games Innovations.
Is anyone interested in helping /supporting  such an idea?
