[Noisebridge-discuss] Gamedev skillshare?

[Patrick Keys]

How is this idea progressing?  If we can expand the idea of this meet-up 
to encompass building social features into games, I believe this would 
be a very, very popular meet-up.  We might even be able to talk some 
big-time Zynga people into showing up.
