This weekend, Emily Daniels and I are co-hosting a game jam at the DINO/Sprout space in Davis Square. I’ve been really excited about this event; I am confident it will be awesome and will become the start of a great series of events for the greater “open, creative development” community. Details below:

We’re also going to write about all the cool stuff people work on and post the resulting software on a blog after the event — more on that once it’s set up.
