You're welcome to add anything else you'd like to share, here:

[Rene Youssef]

Name: René
Interest: making, learning, graphics
Prior Skills: I know basic CG, film, and photography. I am good with
the internets. I am a writer.
Skills to Learn: I would like to learn more advanced Photoshop and
Illustrator techniques. Also, I would like to learn Flash. Pretty much
anything you are willing to teach me, I will give a try.

[Moxie]

Name: I go by Paul, though I've been known to respond to Pete.

Interest: Both the making and the learning of all of the above (games,
animations, and graphics)

Prior Skills and Experience:
Designing, prototyping, testing and programming games. Assembling and
managing a small game-design group.
Graphical editing in Gimp, Photoshop, and Inkscape. 3-D modelling in
Blender. Stop-motion animation.
Programming in C, C++, Java, Z80 and MIPS Assembly. I've developed for
the DS.

Skills to Learn:
I plan to learn more about rigging and animating using Blender and
similar 3-d modelling programs. Improving my hand at writing plot for
film and games would be great.

I look forward to teaching, learning, and having an enjoyable time
together. Let's make fun things!

[Jon]

Name: Jon
Interest: Making stuff work, games (particularly combat systems),
learning about cool stuff (recursion fits this definition)
Prior skills: Java, mostly
Skills to learn: Umm...is Portal a skill?, how to make a badass
combat system (I was inspired by God of War's behind-the-scenes
video), how to make things blow up REAL good, and how to make really
convoluted mechanics for games (i.e., Chrono Trigger's sealed chests,
Star Ocean's affection system, Cohen's room in BioShock).

Other: If there's dragons, I'm in. Same for robots and cool swords.

[dadanen]

Name: Danielle

Interests: Learning, making, graphics, animations. I won't exclude
games though because they're fun, but that would be more learning than
making.

Prior Skills: Not much, just what they taught us in middle/high
school about making webpages, and a brief experience with robotics.
Might not actually remember too much, but I'm a fast learner.

Skills to Learn: Whatever you want to teach me. Especially if I can
use it someday in making movies (I'm RTF major).
