If you have friends or family (at any technical literacy level) who
might be interested please invite them to join us.  Oh, and don't worry
I will get us out before 9pm so we can all witness the presidential
"talking point exchange." =P  

Free Fun - Open Source Video Games

Date and Time :: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm

Location :: MIT Building E51, Room 376

Summary ::
An exploration of Free and Open Source (FOSS) Video Games

Abstract

What do you think of when you hear the words "open source"? Probably not
video games -- but perhaps you should! Quality Open Source games exist
in nearly every genre of gaming from Action and Adventure to Education
and Simulation.

In this presentation we will journey through an industry overview,
outline the top FOSS games in most genres, examine the science/value of
Video Games, and highlight Open Source game servers. You will see how
Free and Open Source (FOSS) games/options offer something fun for
everyone: the casual gamer, educator, non-technical user, IT/business
person or and even super l33t video gamer.

Join Joseph Guarino of Evolutionary IT (www.evolutionaryit.com) in a
lighthearted exploration of the wonderfully fun world of Free and Open
Source (FOSS) Video Games.


Looking forward to seeing you all,
Joseph Guarino
