[games_access] GDC 09: Final Call for texts!

Thu Aug 7 17:09:31 EDT 2008

Yes, this is probably the worst timing for GDC proposals yet but we 
move on! Thomas -- I will look at everything up there tonight and 
tomorrow and edit. I was planning to give the weekend to getting 
everyone into the system and then uploading hopefully on Sunday (to 
avoid the last minute submissions).

Thank you EVERYONE who is helping out -- it's so good to know that 
people are willing to help out getting the submissions together.

So if you have something you want to be submitted by the SIG, now's 
the time to get it to Thomas and I. And let us know if you are 
planning to submit something solo so that we aren't waiting for 
content.

IMPORTANT: I do want to make sure that everyone who is planning to go 
to GDC is on at least one SIG session, even if you are turning in 
something solo. So make sure that we know (especially me since I'll 
be doing the online submission!) you intend to be at GDC so that we 
have you covered in case your solo proposals are not accepted because 
everyone has something to show at Arcade so we need to have as many 
of us as possible at GDC.

Thanks!
Michelle
