[game_edu] IGDA Board votes still needed pls

[Andrew Armstrong]

I just hoped someone would own up suggesting it, I know they're here 
somewhere :) and it's necessary I at least state where I'm from, rather 
then like some people appear out of the blue. Fair enough though, I'm 
here on educational business anyway.

Also, the Game Jam is great - just there is nothing like that suggested 
in any of the people's proposals (do it again, sure, but what about 
other things?). Being in the UK, the sheer amount of developers here but 
really lack of IGDA activity is a big shame. :( and it's hard to suggest 
joining when people can't make it to GDC and benefit from IGDA 
activities there, for instance. I have brought this up before - at the 
last GDC actually, but it obviously needs work from Europe (and other 
places) itself, like getting board members from those locations! :)
