Haha a fellow binary guy
Have a good time during this LD!
We’re in Adelaide, Australia, using the University of Adelaide Common Room. Only holds ~20, but we’re still far from full.
Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/events/268712733245010/
This can be discovered via the event page, but I should mention that our organisation is called Jamalaide (a portmanteau of jam, marmalade and Adelaide).
Manchester, UK, checking in!
We’re hosting our second Ludum Dare jam, at the Madlab hackspace. In addition to the LD48 folks, we’ll also be running mini-jams on both days, crash-course coding sessions for beginners, and like last time we’ll have some pervasive gamers in the house making games that involved running around and making noise.
Here’s how it went down last time: http://blog.danhett.com/2012/04/manchester-game-jam-in-photos.html

Hey, it looks like Chicago has a meetup of some sort:

Is anybody in NYC interested in getting together at a coffee shop for LD48?
I was thinking about having a meetup at the University of Borås here in Sweden.
If anyone is interested in that contact me on twitter @erikskogl and we’ll see if there’s enough interest!
I’m having a gathering.

It’s an awesome place with many types of geeks. More info about the Hacker Dojo here: http://www.hackerdojo.com/
It’s exciting to hear that the Dojo is hosting one! I’ve been meaning to give it a visit for a while. Do you have to be a Dojo member to come to the Ludum Dare event?
Well, I can’t send the message again due to duplicate comments, but the answer to your question is down below.
Hello. Do you need to be a member to go to this gathering?
You do not have to be a member to attend and there is no fee. However, if we order lunch then help pitch in if you want food.
I’m also wondering if I have to be a member to attend

If anyone is in the Las Vegas area, we should meet up!
Possible meeting spaces: I have an office space desk space in the Bank of Nevada building by the corner of Tanaya and Lake Mead.
Hey, if anyone lives in central massachusetts, I’d like to meet up at Worcester Polytechnical Institute, campus center. The first floor would do. When you go in, there’s a big octogonal wedge area that would make a good meeting place. I’ll think a time later.
Nice to see some WPI folks
(I’m an alum)
We will also gather in Bordeaux, France, in our office at Motion Twin (www.twinoid.com)!
We shall be 9 or 10 participants!
We had 2 free seats remaining, but they were taken
C’est dommage car je suis aussi de Bordeaux!
La prochaine fois peut être
Anyone else in New York City?
Would you be interested in gathering at a coffee shop?
Would like to join you guys? The JAM will be more enjoyable with company. Do you have a place in mind?
I’m thinking Tea Lounge in Park Slope:
http://www.tealoungeny.com/
Open Saturday 8am-1am and Sunday 8am-12am with free WIFI and tons of seating.
Another option in Manhattan would be The Vagabond Cafe in the West Village but the hours aren’t as good and it might be harder to get seats.
http://www.thevagabondcafe.com/
Open Sat 11 am – 12 am and Sun 11 am – 8 pm with free WIFI
Would love to help with audio in NYC.
Making an executive decision, having that extra long saturday is important. I’ll be at Tea Lounge.
Let’s exhange contact info to make this happen. Please e-mail me at marbletonemedia at gmail.com
Anyone interested can email me at contact at davidwallin.net
I’ll be there most of saturday and sunday
Any Edinburgh hackers? Or is all the Scot talent heading for Aberd?
Definitely will be having one here in Phoenix, Arizona. It will be at the UAT campus, as usual.
Aw, what a shame, I’m arriving at the UAT campus on monday.
Anyone lingering in Wellington, New Zealand? It could be good to arrange a meetup in town.
Is there going to be a meetup in STockholm, Sweden? I happen to be in STockholm during the LD weekend
Anyone in Seattle? This is supposedly the game capital of the world, yet we don’t have anything organized yet
We could probably hook something up with the guys at Surf Incubator (http://surfincubator.com).
I was wondering the same thing. I’d be up for any meetup as long as it isn’t too far away from Downtown/Capital Hill.
I don’t think I can be much help in organizing, but I’d show up to something near Capitol Hill/Downtown/SLU.
You guys should come by Beer && Code tomorrow. There will probably some folks there who would be interested as well.
http://seattle.beerandcode.org
I’d go to a Seattle meetup but my laptop is useless for development.
Seattle representing!
We’re hosting one in Richmond, Virginia. at Citizen. http://www.rvagamejams.com
FREE Pizza party on Sunday at the final show and tell. WOO!
If anyone in Denver/Boulder, Colorado area is interested in meeting up, let me know… my name at gmail dot com.
In San Francisco, CA, there will be a few of us meeting up at Noisebridge on Friday afternoon (as of this writing, it will be in 3 days, 0 hours, and 45 minutes) . This occurred rather informally when I poked my head in the room at this event https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Gamebridge and asked if any one else was partaking in Ludum Dare 24 and got various responses. Come join us!
If I can, I’ll make it to Noisebridge, but it’s my birthday this weekend, so I might be partying it up instead
Colégio Graham Bell, at Rio de Janeiro – Brazil:

[...] You could also make a game, either right there at your computer or at one of the gatherings listed here. Keynote video by Seth ‘Dink Smallwood’ Robinson and more details [...]
Seems like there is nothing happening in Denmark. I know I, and possibly a few others, will be doing this @ ITU in Copenhagen. So now you know where to go to find fellow jammers if you are in the area
Anyone in the Los Angeles area, Crashspace will be open all weekend while I try to manage this, it’s not an official event, but there will be at least two of us there, starting with a game brainstorming tonight at 7 after the theme is announced.
