Cybersalon – Dates in the Diary – pt 3
My last trip to London was Wednesday 29th Jan 2020. It was to hand over a project I’d been producing on behalf of the Stage Management Committee.
The Equity SM Buyout Calc – Work in Progress – updates webpage.
I also attended a meeting with Equity senior management in regards to the Online Branch’s – last stand. 2020 was a progressive year. Our milestones were being awarded funding to explore the development of the branch technology and the assignment of a staff organiser.
I also attended a SafetyCurtain Trustees Meeting before Cybersalon
I had a fabulous overnight stay
Gaming For Good was the last Cybersalon on the ground event I attended
Here is my mini Vlog which I’d neglected to post before now. The practice of capturing short clips and using Quik to mash up a 1 – 3 min video is a good one to master.
If you attend a Cybersalon event be sure to say hello.
Games For Good 3.0 – Tend & Befriend Edition
Cybersalon’s Online Record documenting the event – LINK
Last decade will be condemned as a total failure of humanity to work together. Next decade and climate change crisis bring challenges that can only be solved by working together.
Join us on a journey of discovery of games that can skill up our ability to collaborate, from passing weapons, providing covering fire in a firefight, healing or boosting a teammate over obstacles.
