QExpo 2005 DECISIONS

Okay so we need:

To choose a date.

Find a host.

Find an event leader.

Time is going on, I suggest we choose em soon, or it'll be Qexpo 2015... and by then I want to be jacked in to the matrix playing Quake 9.

Pah, Quake9 sucks. The physics are totally off, not to mention ugly colors and over-done pain stimulus.

Now Unreal Tournament 2015 Championship... that's where it's at.

Seriously though, June, July, August... it's all good for me. Later months means I get more time to polish my mods, but I don't want it going for too long. July is kinda what I'm thinking, but I'm open to other dates.

I don't know much about servers, so I won't comment on that.

As for a team leader, a lot of the gurus are pretty over-burdened and burned out from getting every large project shoved into their hands. I don't want to risk getting myself nominated for the job... I just think we should get some people who would like to lead to volunteer for the job, instead of a military volunteer i.e. "I volunteer FrikaC to do it all. He has time."

What exactly would team leader be asked to do?

Bah, Quake9 Unreal and Tournament 2015 both sucks. The new Tenebrae7 engine for Q1- if you only have the hardware for it

Yea, but everything in Tenebrea still looks like it's caked in doughnut glaze...

BTW, I've been learning PHP, limited mysql, lots of perl, and some flash. Perhaps those will come in handy...

I've no clue about a host or an event leader, but I want to put in a vote for an august date.

Go August, go August!

/me does the Qexpo dance

I vote August because I'm a sheep seeking common ground.

August woudl be great for me - but not 13th to 20th cos I'm on me hols.
Though I appreciate it's not going to be based around my holiday arrangements ... but it would be nice to make it for once, with something to relelase.

August would be fine with me.

August is an awful long ways away, but I think it would be fine.

Ok, so I guess we've got a rough date then.

Any volunteers to organise/run the thing?

Nah, I hear Tenebrae7 has gotten some serious optimizing. And Quake9 isn't that bad. I hear the modding potential is pretty good. Dunno about UT2015 though.

Wazat · Post by **Wazat** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 4:26 pm

Well, yea, I guess after 15 years the tenebrea team would have gotten it right.

Anyway, August is a long ways away, but I guess it's good.

Urre · Post by **Urre** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 5:34 pm

The sole reason why August is good is because it's so far away

I need time to work on stuff if I'm to release anything.

Question for anyone,

how much will it cost to get the Qexpo hosted somewhere?
