[game_edu] [JOB] changed to discussion

[Susan Gold]

So what do you all think about having someone post jobs on the  
listserv? I do not monitor who requests membership to our listserv,  
however, this seems like the 1st time someacademicone has ever posted  
a job on the list that was not academic. What are your thoughts,  
should we allow this type of posting? Should we even allow academic  
job postings? I would like to get your feelings and possibly come up  
with some stipulations or recommendations. The IGDA is about to launch  
a new website and with it many more communication tools. Should we add  
content like job openings to the site? If so, do you want to be in  
charge of it? Should they be limited to purely academic in nature?  
Although I am not too big on tight governance, I think we have grown  
to a reasonable size ~800 folks. I think we should have a discussion  
about what to do with jobs, equal to what we do with CFP? In addition,  
we should have an expanded web presence, not just a list. What are  
some of the things we can move off the list and onto the site? I post  
slides from talks and photos from conferences, but that is about all.  
We are volunteer based and the SIG and this list is what you make it.  
We have a new school year coming up, new opportunities for  
collaboration and I hope possibilities for growth in our organization.
