[IGDA_indies] Suggestions

[Jason Della Rocca]

Regarding SIG promotion at GDC...

With 70+ chapters, a dozen committees and SIGs, and many other subgroups 
and initiatives, the IGDA simply cannot put out flyers/etc, and do 
marketing for each one. Rather, we work on general awareness of the IGDA as 
a whole and try to point people in the direction.

That said, several of the above groups do have specific sessions to address 
their needs (eg, Womens Group Gather, HR tutorial, AI SIG standards, etc, 
etc). Some groups do their own stuff like hand out flyers, or create custom 
t-shirts, etc.

Last year, we had a group gathering session for indie developers. This 
year, when I was trying to put plans together, I didn't get much response 
from anyone (not pointing fingers, but I think Brian was moving that week). 
Sadly, there's no GG for indies on the schedule this year :(

Sorry.

Jason
