You are hereby invited to take part in an annual gathering of people of
all nationalities, genders and beliefs, who are interested in creation of
roguelike games. Roguelike games are computer games that are in some
aspects similar to, or inspired by, a classic, turn-based, tile-based,
text-mode, tactical, heavily randomized, perma-death, dungeon exploration
game known as Rogue. You might have probably heard about some of them,
such as NetHack, Angband, Dungeon Crawl, DoomRL or ADOM.

This meeting has an informal nature of an unconference, which means that
the exact list of speakers and the schedule are going to be decided right
there on the spot. All kinds of activities are possible, from traditional
talks, through discussion panels and workshops, to game jams and maybe
even musicals -- it all depends on what the participants think would be
the best use of their time.

This is the 5th IRDC, and it will take place on 7-9 June 2013 in at the
Zoo Coworking Space, 20 Zwierzyniecka street, Poznań, Poland. Registration
is not required, as the event is open, but it will help us to estimate the
number of participants and better prepare the venue if you register at
http://irdc2013.eventbrite.com/.

Just a reminder that the conference starts in 2 days, and that I have
added a rough schedule to the wiki page. The venue will be open every
day at least from 9:00 to 21:00, so we can meet on Friday before the
conference.

For everyone coming to Poland for the first time, please pack some warm
clothes and some rain jacket, as the weather is recently rather bad. On
the up side, we have no floods, so you don't have to worry about that :)

See you there!

Thanks for the weather heads-up! I had checked reports and saw warm
weather forecast for Poznan at the weekend - is that not the case?

Anyway, excited for the conference :) Will see you Friday!

At this time of the year, a "warm weekend" usually means ~19°C. Depending
on where you are coming from, that may or may not be actually warm for
you. Also, the forecasts around here are only reliable for 2-3 days, so we
still don't know about Sunday. They expect a storm on Sunday, for example.

If it will be warm, then you will just leave your jacket at the hotel...

I'm living in England and we've had a miserably long winter! 19 C and
getting to take off my jacket sounds like luxury ;)
