   Do we want a new meeting?
  It's been a while since our last meeting.FWIW, that place in Grapevine where we held our old meeting mid-last year is much improved. We moved into a larger office in the same building. We now have our own bathroom, conference tables, and computer. It's much more suitable than before for meetings.Anyone interested in meeting again?   
  I'm still interested in meeting.  We need to come up with something to keep it interesting though.  I'm honestly not sure what we should have, as I haven't ever really attended meetings of any sort, other than the meetings we had.  I do believe there should be something to keep a desire to come to the meetings continuous.  I'm not sure a group project would be very successful, but the group hasn't met or been active in so long that the potential active participants are unknown, so it is still a viable option.   ;  That's the big question. We've gotten a few new members since our last meeting (November I think), and they've expressed interest in attending. In our first meeting, we just talked a bit about the kind of things we'd like to do, followed by a general bull-session.The second meeting a couple of us showed off our projects, but it was held in a member's apartment and was pretty poorly-attended. Our new Humanist Hall space is, IMHO, much more suited for a meeting.As for what to do during meetings, I guess it's up to us. I have access to a cheap meeting room and presentation materials (projector, laptop). We also have a reasonably capable permanent computer if anyone wants to demo something.And I can bring up any resources I can get from gamedev, be it speakers or publicity or door-prizes or whatever.So all we're really lacking is content. Is there anything people would like to see?- Technical breakout sessions?- Guest speakers?- Mentoring?One thing we seemed to have was a grand disparity in members. We had a couple of "grand dames" like myself who've been doing games of one form or another for years. We also had a good crop of younger types who seemed to be aching for a project. If the young kids wanna get together for some kind of group projects, I wouldn't have a problem using the resources of the old guys to help get it up-n-running.What I guess I'm saying is that the content is all up to us.   ;  I myself (as well as another member, Oscinis) are both interested in coming to the meetings again. We attended the very first meeting, then due to circumstances beyond our control (the loss of my van due to engine failure), were forced to quit attending. I have since gotten a new car, and would love to continue coming to the meetings.As for content, well, I honestly couldn't tell you what would keep others coming. As for myself, I just enjoyed getting to talk to people with the same interests and sharing ideas and stuff with them. So, I mean, we will just have to decide on something I suppose.
