Summary
Collaborate on integrating open source into a RIT Game Development Club (RGDC) game jam in Spring 2020 semester
Background
At our end-of-semester debriefing, we shared feedback from folks on wanting to see more collaboration with gaming orgs at RIT. @whenbellstoll is involved with RGDC, and we decided this would be one of his efforts alongside LibreCorps next semester.
Before jumping in headfirst to hosting a game jam, we want to do a couple of promotional events and talks at a few clubs at RIT to help build awareness for a FOSS game jam. This semester is an experiment – we haven't tried this before and we don't know how it will go. If it's successful, we can turn this into a recurring event. If it isn't, that's okay – at least we tried.
Details
We discussed a few steps of what this will look like across Spring 2020:
Potentially we could tap the shoulders of some alum friends to see if they can throw us a bone on some free company swag or giveaways.
Outcome
Increasing the reach of FOSS@MAGIC's mission by collaborating with more student organizations at RIT
