GMOD Meeting 6-7 August, 2009 Oxford UK Part of GMOD Europe 2009, five days of GMOD including a GMOD Summer School
|
This GMOD Community Meeting was held 6-7 August, 2009, in Oxford UK. The meeting was a part of GMOD Europe 2009, a week long event that also included a GMOD Summer School. This is the first time a GMOD meeting has been held in Europe.
As with previous GMOD meetings, this meeting had a mixture of project talks, component talks, and user talks. The agenda was driven by attendee suggestions. The two previous meetings were the January 2009 and July 2008 meetings. GMOD meetings are an excellent way to meet GMOD developers and users, and to learn (and affect) what’s coming in the project.
