Howdy folks,
I just assumed control of the Brisbane Game Developers Meetup. This next meeting will be the Last One!........organised by Scott Leaman. His schedule is getting a bit more hectic, so he will be stepping down as organiser after this meetup. If you've come before, or if you've missed out then come along and help make this meetup the best BGDMG Meetup ever!
