[game_edu] [JOB] changed to discussion

[DeAnne Preston]

I have welcomed the academic postings here and forwarded them on to
Instructors whom I know are searching. This posting today was useful to
me, since the overwhelming majority of students at our school are
studying game development in order to find work in the industry. It was
a great way to 'dangle the golden carrot' so to speak - if you attend
class, take the advice your teachers are offering and build your
demonstrable skills, there is still great employment available, even in
this economy.

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.
