[games_access] GDC 2008 SIG proposal

[d. michelle hinn]

Yeah, I'm in for that one. I'm working on a bunch of others right now 
simultaneously so I can't get to it quite yet since this one came in 
with about 30 hours left on the countdown clock. :)

I didn't put as much info as I should have earlier when I said I'd 
asked about the IGDA cross-SIG collaboration idea for the panel if it 
doesn't get accepted in the system. We have to put all the sessions 
through the system before they go in as an IGDA track possibility. 
Keep in mind that there are VERY few of these sessions so we can't 
count on everything getting accepted through that track. More like 
1-2 can go through that track. It's to be used as a "wow...NOTHING 
got accepted? Ok can we have a roundtable at least?" and/or "ok, this 
session got axed but it's really, really important - please accept 
it? please, please?" option.
