TIGJam Canada
The Independent Gaming Source (or, more specifically, the TIG forums) holds an annual, official "TIGJam". Basically this is a weekend where any independent developers who can manage it huddle into a room with a bunch of PCs, work on games and get to know each other.
Unfortunately for me, the official 'Jam is held in Arizona.
So some of us at the forum (including my pal Chevy) who live in the western Canadian provinces thought it'd be awesome to hold our own version of the TIGJam. The idea seemed to be well-received, although admittedly not by nearly as many people as attending the official TIGJam last year.
It seemed like we had enough interest to actually attempt a jam of our own, but it wasn't really going anywhere. So I decided to jump in and try to get the ball rolling. To that end, I've set up a page on the (misleadingly-titled) Doodle, which helps schedule meetings between many people (and for which I'm incidentally developing competing software for in one of my courses this semester).
So here it is: If you want to attend a TIGJam in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (most likely somewhere on the UofA campus) sometime in May, follow this Doodle link and tell me when you're available. Once we have some dates where enough people can make it (I'd say the minimum would be a total of 12 awesome dudes and/or classy ladies) we'll set a firm date and time and I'll start booking rooms and making the appropriate arrangements.
If we don't get enough people signed up, well, at least we tried.
