I wanted to make sure you're all plugged into the Boston Post Mortem group. It's a monthly meeting for professional game developers with equal parts presentation and networking, meeting at the Skellig in Waltham.
The next meeting is July 9th at 7:00 (which I won't be able to attend since I'm speaking on XNA for the Boston .NET User Group. (Hmm, maybe I should post that, too?))
"This month the Boston Post Mortem is happy to welcome Drs. Lawrence Kutner and Cheryl K. Olson, authors of Grand Theft Childhood, a book released earlier this year that talks about the sometimes counterintuitive ways that video games both help and harm children. Kutner and Olson are based out of Harvard Medical School and Mass General Hopital, so we are extremely excited that they’ve agreed to present some of their findings to the local dev community!"
