PCG Task Force

[Julian Togelius]

Dear all,

I've now set up a Task Force on PCG within the IEEE Computational
Intelligence Society Technical Committee on Games. All current members
of this list are invited to become members of the task force. The
homepage is here:

http://game.itu.dk/pcg/

So, please hit "reply" now and send me these 3 or 4 lines:
- Name
- Homepage OR e-mail
- Affiliation (if any)
- (optional) list of keywords of your interests with PCG (e.g.
grammar-based approaches, particle systems, narrative)

The web page is intentionally left rather bare, as I think the proper
place for articles and information about ongoing projects is the wiki,
and for discussions this list.

Julian

P.S. "What's the point of this?" Well, it could provide added
legitimacy to events and other things we'd like to organize. It
functions as a directory of people actively working on PCG. It gives
us another line for our CVs. It doesn't hurt in any way. You are not
selling your soul to the IEEE (I think).
P.P.S. "Who decided that you're the chair?" I was first. Feel free to
elect someone else if you like to. It doesn't really matter, does it?
P.P.P.S. "The web page is ugly!" It is indeed. I'm no web designer. If
anyone wants to redesign it, just tell me.
