[MUD-Dev] Announcement: Community Work Symposium - May 21

[T.L. Taylor]

On Friday, May 21 2004, The ITU's Center for Computer Games Research
will be hosting an all-day symposium entitled "Community Work:
Managing Multiplayer Culture."

Multiplayer game designers and administrators are not simply engaged
in creating stable game structures and systems of play but are
deeply involved in the creation of communities, cultures, and
behaviors. While much has been discussed around the technical
challenges MMOG's pose, this symposium takes up the subject of
community management and suggests that the design and maintenance of
these vibrant worlds pose some of the most interesting challenges
facing games today. Speakers for the event are Richard Bartle,
Edward Castronova, Julian Dibbell, and Jessica Mulligan.

The symposium is free but registration is required by May 14. For
full details please visit http://game.itu.dk/comwork/. Look forward
to seeing you all in Copenhagen! :)
