Mandela Poster Project... Game Jam?

So bear with me. I just had this idea...

There's a Mandela Poster Project, and it's all about people just making posters in celebration of our good ol' Madiba.
http://www.facebook.com/MandelaPosterProject
It collects contributions from people all over the world.

His 95th birthday is coming up, on July 18, and that's quite a big deal.

What if we took a different approach and made some little games, preferably conceptually linked to the celebration of the man himself?

Would be a nice thing to do to raise the profile of makegamesSA overall :)

    I forsee a QWOP Madiba Shuffle type game... Good Idea though, I like it :)

    QWOP Madiba shuffle! That's awesome! :D

    So here's what I think we can do - set aside a weekend in the month between now and then, and do a game jam, with the goal of releasing those games (putting them to the public) either before or on July 18th.

    That outcome would be a page that lets people play these prototypes. We can take that to various media, it'll certainly be talkable and interesting :)

    What does everyone think? :D

    Would it be in poor taste to recreate some of his fighting Apartheid days... ie. "Action Mandela". ?

    QWOP Madiba Shuffle all the way!

    Anyone got time for a Madiba Game Jam? His birthday is in exactly a week! Remembering the serious games talk we had at JHB meetup last week, it feels like a good fit :)

    I'd jump at the chance usually, but varsity stuff is due on Monday and Tuesday :(.
