http://gameful.org/ http://blog.avantgame.com/2010/08/gameful-secret-hq-for-worldchanging.html Gameful <http://gameful.org/> is an online "Secret HQ" where you can connect with other people who believe in the power of games to make us better and change the world. It will be a free resource -- a place for you to: - Set up a profile sharing your expertise, skills, abilities, and interests - Search the network for collaborators and talent - Spread the word about your new projects - Meet journalists who want to write about interesting games or research like yours - Find new and cutting-edge game projects to inspire you - Join a Gameful book club and discuss big ideas - Join a Gameful game club and play big ideas! - Brainstorm and submit conference panels or sessions together - Plan Gameful meet-ups at conferences and festivals - Nominate your own work, or work you love, for the annual Gameful Awards (in the categories of Reality-Changing, Life-Changing, and World-Changing) OUR PLAN We’ve already assembled our core team of developers and designers to make this project happen and we’re aiming to launch at 10:28:10 AM on 10/28/10 (October 28, 2010). We’ve already designed the site; all we need is to raise enough operating costs to make sure that we can afford to code and launch the site, round up some awesome interns, and make a great experience for everyone who joins.
