Presenters on Blender wanted! - Austin Game Conference 2008

All,

We at Sun Microsystems are helping to sponsor an Open Source Game Development track at the Austin Game Developers Conference in Austin Texas on September 15th, 2008. This track is dedicated to helping independent game developers/publishers understand how to leverage Open Source technologies to build their next gen games/companies and the value of joining open source communities.

If there are any Blender experts in the Austin, TX area that are available to speak at this conference, we would love to talk to you.

Please send any inquiries to me at chris (dot) melissinos (at) sun (dot) com.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Cheers!

-Chris

I could fly there :smiley: .

Or you could fly me there.

I’ve sent an e-mail saying as much to Chris, but wanted to reply here too. I’m an Austin, TX based blender user and educator and would be interested in making connections with any other folks in the area interested in blender for game development and animation. It’d be nice to network locally with Blender’s growing community of users.

Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately, we don’t have budget for outside travel for the show, but speakers will be given a full conference pass for the AGC, which is an awesome tech conference. On, I will send you an e-mail back so we can talk today :slight_smile:

I would pay for my own travel,room, food and board. I could teach how to do all of the logic brick methods of AI I have developed. I also know all the material system tricks for the GE, and a few other things that are not so obvious.

VenomSeven is around in that area, he could show that cool racing game he made.

September 15 is my birthday! I’d love to speak, I could demonstrate how to use the wii-remote with blender and some of the new Inertia stuff.

I live in Houston, Texas so it wouldnt take much to get me there. A bus ticket is fine = )

I’ll e-mail you for more info = )
