AltDevConf is an online community-driven conference that will take place February 11-12, 2012
We aim provide free access to a comprehensive selection of game development topics taught by leading industry experts, and to create a space where bright and innovative voices can be heard.
Q: What is #AltDevBlogADay?
#AltDevBlogADay is a group of game developers and otherwise interested people (generally found on Twitter), ranging from experienced devs to students and educators to hobbyists, that want to blog more regularly. An idea inspired by iDevBlogADay.
Q: What do/can the developers post about?
Our peeps will post about anything they think might be interesting. That can vary from the extremely technical to the very high-level. It can be specific to their experience in game development, or simply a marginally related topic of interest. Basically we post what we think is interesting. And hopefully that's interesting to you too!
Q: How can I participate?
If you're a game developer (or related) and want to contribute, contact @mike_acton on twitter or email at macton@gmail.com
Also see: #readme (for Writers)
Q: Can you slow down the rate of posts? I'm having a hard time keeping up!
Nope. It's not live TV. You don't have to read it as it's written. You're welcome to read the posts at any rate you like. It's the nature of the internet that more information is generated than you could possibly consume. I suspect there are Wikipedia pages you haven't read either. ;)
Here is the upcoming post schedule. I decided to go with a 15 day schedule so that no one gets locked into the same day every time.
Remember that the point of #AltDevBlogADay is to get each other a kick in the pants to blog. Don’t be afraid to mail the group and remind the next person in line that their time is coming up! It might also be helpful to mail the group out when you start to work on your blog (and maybe give some tantalizing hints!) to remind others to start working on theirs. Also, sending an RFC on your draft beforehand has been a helpful way for writers to get good feedback before things go live.
It’s cool if you end up trading days with someone, just email the group so we know it’s covered.
PS: There’s a google calendar as well.
