5/26/07 - Recently the Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) was
launched as a gamer advocacy group. This group is going to lobbying for
its members to work against legislation that would put limitations on
the game development industry. If you are worried about games being
made illegal or censored you should join.

The Serious Games Summit had an event at the British Consulate that I
attended. It included a panel with Professor Robert Stone from
Birmingham University, Doug Foster from Click2learn, Tom Hunter from
Compass Rose Games, Scot Osterweil from MIT Education Arcade, Kent
Quirk from Cognitoy, and Robert Ferrari from Turbine Entertainment
Software. The discussion was about uses of games outside of
entertainment. The discussed application included medical training, job
safety, global warming, and diabetes management.
