I think it would be a huge benefit to us if they attended the Open Source
meetings.  I don't know if these guys are up to date on their open source
news, but the writers seem very knowledgable about all aspects of the
gaming industry (from development tools to marketing tricks to art to ...)
and can probably speak for anyone who's not there because they probably
know _everyone_.  Know what I mean?

Also, if anyone has ever read the magasine, you've probably noticed that
the topics they cover are pretty advanced, but they are written so that
any Joe game developer benefit from them (even me!).

Later,
Ian
