So GAF, who's going to be there? Any of Dallas-GAF going to support their local devs? Mini meetup for food/drinks?
Stealth I need friends thread.
Searched, didn't see anything but this:
frogg609 said:I saw they have announced the dates for Quakecon 2011, and I'm thinking about going.
Does anyone who has gone in the past have any good stories about what it's like, etc?
I'd also be willing to volunteer, even part time, has anyone ever done this?
Looking at the Quakecon forums, I didn't find too much content, so I'm asking here.
Thanks
Searches failed me! Missed the original OT by subversus. Merged lots of info into this one. Thanks for that.
