[games_access] FuturePlay 2007

[Eitan Glinert]

I agree, FuturePlay looks like it's going to be really exciting. Looking 
forward to seeing everyone there!

I'm going to be on a panel on Friday morning at 10:45 called "Harder 
Lessons" (along with John Hopson, Anthony Whitehead, Mia Consalvo, and John 
Lester) which talks about the things that the IGDA games curriculum doesn't 
currently cover. It won't have much to do with accessibility, but it should 
be interesting, especially for those out there in academics who also make 
games (i.e. all of us).

See you there,
Eitan
