View source for IRDC 2008 Planning

[[IRDC 2008]] used roguebasin as a tool to coordinate the meeting. This page is kept for historical purposes.

== TODO ==

* Fon: Get cellphone numbers for better communication in town, maybe buy prepaid SIMs
* Goals: Define some goals. (Code, Docs, Fun, Learning.)
* Map: Get short URLs for location
* Map: Accomodation (where is everyone staying?)

=== Food for Thought ==

 http://xkcd.com/91/ :
 Welcome to text-only Counterstrike.
 You are in a dark, outdoor map.
 > GO NORTH
 You have been pwned by a grue.

Comment by the author of the cartoon:
 I'm sure a discussion of the reason for the disappearance
 of adventure games in favor of RPGs would be fascinating.

Discuss! ;-)
