[game_edu] Gaming Conventions

[Liz M.E. Chung]

QuakeCon started the concept of the BYOC (Bring your own computer) event,
with many organizations following soon after:
the CPL, WSVG, GGL, WCG, Dreamhack, iSeries, the Gathering, Lanwar,
MassiveLAN--mostly organizations that sponsor competitive gaming leagues and
events.
