[Open-source-gamedev-devroom] (final) schedule for the games devroom

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody! I just mailed every speaker separately telling them their explicit time for the talk. The time is identical to what I proposed in my last mail. Just for your information I will again paste the schedule and behind this the text of the mails sent (though leaving out the timeslot as well as the topic since those were the only thing speaker dependent in the mails...). The (most likely final) schedule: 09:00 - 09:10 - Welcome to the devroom (Nils Kneuper (Ivanovic); time to get stuff started and working!) 09:10 - 09:55 - Xonotic: The road to 1.0 (Merlijn Hofstra) 5 min break 10:00 - 10:45 - Anatomy of a role playing game (Arthur Huillet) 10min break 10:50 - 11:35 - Data-Driven and Component-Based Game-Entities (Thomas Kinnen) 5min break 11:40 - 12:25 - The Dynamic Data Driven Worlds of WorldForge (Alistair Riddoch) 10min break 12:30 - 13:15 - Pandora - a mobile Linux computer including gaming controls. A short introduction and explanation of its long history and development. (Michael Mrozek) 10min break 13:45 - 14:30 - Balancing a game: the open source way (Jeremy Rosen (Boucman)) 10min break 14:35 - 15:20 - Getting Started With Ogre3d For Game Development (Erik Ogenvik) 10min break 15:25 - 16:10 - Game On - Game Creation and Distribution with Gluon (Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen) 5min break 16:15 - 17:00 - The Future of Open Web Gaming (Rob Hawkes) And here is the mail I composed to each of the speakers listed above: > Hi!

Yes, the real organization of "how to do stuff during FOSDEM" still has to (and will) follow. The most urgent part for the moment is the exact schedule so that I can eventually tell the FOSDEM folks who will speak at which time (for the booklet listing the talks).
