Hi,

Kevglasses survey idea got me a thinking ( while chewin’ on me strand of grass)…

it would be really nice if we could organise some socials.
I know we live in disparate places, but if the survey could also give indications of our locations we could arrange some bi annual meetings. It would be really nice to meet the faces behind the smileys behind .gifs behind the names :wink:

Im sure someone must’v proposed this before.
While on the topic of location, Im currently based in the Netherlands
but Im planning a 6month break to South Africa, so if any of you guys are in the area let me know.

I live in sweden, but I’m not convinced that this experiment is safe.

Putting too many java game developers near each other might cause some kind of rift in reality. :-/

Well, I’m off to ECTS on Thursday.

Anyone who’s in Florida, I am on the IGDA advisory board for the Central Florida chapter and we have meetings every month. We have had about 2 Java-centric meetings a year as well. The next one is this Thursday evening :slight_smile:

Well we could offsett this by hijacking some innocent .net developers, tie them to totem polls at the meetings and… hmmm… or alternatively if we synchronise our meetings, the multiple javadev “rift centres” could offset eachother, ensuring continuos space-time continium…hmm… maybe I should get back to work

I wonder if this means we’ll generate our own "Reality Distortion Field"™ just like Steve Jobs? :stuck_out_tongue: ;D

In Helsinki there’s a monthly ‘"game developers’ pub evening". It’s only recently started and so far I haven’t managed to get to it, but I heard there were many (50?) people at the last one. If anyone’s interested in attending, let me know and I’ll pass on your e-mail address to the guy who sends out the monthly reminder/invitation. Not specifically Java gaming, but I bet a lot of them are doing J2ME games.
