EA Coming to UofT: Monday, November 3rd [UPDATED]

I received this email from Steve Engels today:

“My EA contact is attending FuturePlay on Monday before flying out later that day. I asked her if she could spare a little time to come talk to you, and she agreed to skip part of Monday afternoon to come to UofT and meet with you guys.

As you can imagine, meeting with EA people is a pretty big deal. She’s not making time for other people, just for us. The plan is to steal her away to come here around 3pm, and I’m in the midst of booking a room for us to hear her talk. I’ll email more as soon as I get the details, but I wanted to give you a heads-up now, because she’s a pretty good person to come see and talk to.

Let other people know about this too, if you can.”

More details are on their way soon.  Check back for a concrete time and place.

UPDATE: The meeting has been scheduled for today, November 3rd, at 3pm in BA5256.

Week of Nov. 3rd

We’ll be having a meeting in our usual place on November 3rd — that’s GB221 between 5 and 7 PM.

Additionally, we’ll be having a meeting on Thursday in the Bahen Centre, room B026, between 5 and 7 PM as well.  We are considering a move back to a Thursday meeting time, as that may work better with everyone’s schedules.

Hope to see you all there!

A2M Visit

I received this message from Steve Engels, the professor in charge of the game design courses in the Department of Computer Science:

Hi guys,

Francois Robillard [from A2M] is coming tomorrow at 3pm, in the Bahen Centre, room 1230. Please come.
Bring your friends. And try to come on time, if you can 🙂

See you there!

No Meeting This Week — But One Next Week

Sorry everybody, I wasn’t able to book a room this week for our meeting.

Next week, we will be meeting on Tuesday because the University is closed on Monday.  We will meet at 5-7 PM in GB221.  From then on, we will meet on Mondays weekly until the end of the term in the same room and at the same time.

Second Meeting

Hi all,

We’ll meet this week again on Thursday at 5-7 PM in BA1240 — same time and same place.

Next week, we’ll have a different meeting time, which will probably be on Monday.  Stay tuned; we’ll schedule it before the meeting this week.
