Excuse me while I have a minor fanboyism-induced heart attack. Twinkie Denial articles are some of the oldest stuff I remember reading on Gama.. back in varsity days :)

So, do I submit a talk about Mathstermind? What it was like working on EVOKE and how us firing the client made that whole thing work?

Also, yes, Ernest Adams FTW :)

Oh my!

I'm not sure about submission closing dates, but I'm supposedly on the peer-review committee, so I'll follow up.
*Edit*
25 April - Deadline for all submissions

Sounds cool! It's way out in the South and is a Wednesday to Friday... Guess they don't like people not full time game devs :P

Nah that's pretty common for conferences in all fields-even tech ;) Sometimes you just have to sacrifice some work time to attend these things.

I can attest, however, that it's not even a good choice for a venue...

That said, whoo Ernest Adams!

Also, @Tuism: You have the wrong address. You're looking for this

Are you sure? I went off this map from Quest Conference's website:

Are we going to need visas to go to Vanderbijlpark? And boerewors to bribe customs officials? ;)

The map is correct. I'm sure because I've been there before. :P It helps that you can see the sign on the wall too!

In case anyone follows Tuism's map, directions from there to the actual venue... :P
