[ASM scene] ASSEMBLY Summer 2008

[Jussi Laakkonen]

Gents & ladies,

   ASSEMBLY Summer 2008 takes place in roughly 3,5 months, and I'm sure 
quite a few of you are already working on your compo entries. Here's a 
quick status update on all things demoscene related:

- compo rule drafts have been published with quite a few big changes at
http://www.assembly.org/summer08/compos
- stereo sound is coming to the main hall
- big screen is going 16x9, exact size to be announced later
- as requested, oldskool has been renamed to demoscene area and moved 
back to 3rd floor
- a lounge with screen, projector and audio system etc has been added to 
demoscene area. Plug in what you will and show your stuff.
- we need to think if scenebooth should move here (more synergy) or 
remain where it is (better visibility to non-sceners). Either way works 
for us.
- we are looking for speakers to the ARTtech seminars. Email me if you 
are interested.
- if you are interested in doing demos using the "grid demo" 
infrastructure (i.e. synching 3000+ screens to a scroller and other 
funky stuff), email me =).
- if you are interested in using the big and bright LCD screens in the 
main hall to show off some cool stuff, you know what to do (email me! =))

   This is the 17th ASSEMBLY Summer event and you can expect all the 
good things (great compos, cool people, good organizing). We've read 
thru (naturally) the thread in which we discussed ASMS07, but in case 
there is something you'd like to us to take into account with this 
event, do feel free to email me directly.

   Looking forward to seeing many of you at ASSEMBLY Summer 2007!
