This is a reminder about an upcoming event. 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 (we are 
providing lunch).

*** Spaces are filling up quickly so please register soon! ***

forward to seeing you all in Copenhagen! :)
