## SGA

ZERO answer to the survey I sent to our 9 most populated studios regarding the SGA nor any answer to the mail or contact through Discord.

BUT Maria, the head of the Sustainability in Games Alliance, has met with ProHelvetia's Luca Cannellotto at the Nordic Games, who said that there was a budget for these workshops and that they would like it to happen in the near future.

So if our members actually want any kind of workshop and can actually tell me what they're interested in, we can actually organize this at PH's expense relatively quickly.

Organizing these workshops soon can help provide the 100'000 euros needed by the Finnish government to match with 1'000'000 euros in funding.

Topics are:
- Introductory workshop 50 Min
Sustainability impacts of the games industry: Where do 

- Workshop 60 Min
Emissions and Reporting Scope 1 and 2: A Practical Workshop for Game Studios

- Workshop 60 - 80 Min
Emissions and Reporting Scope 3: A Practical Workshop for Game Studios

- Workshop 60 Min
Embedding Sustainability into Company Culture and Game Development

- Improving energy efficiency of games

## Swiss Game Awards

The Numerik Games is stalling

Not sure it's going to be done with the Numerik Games association but there should be an event around this date anyway.

Should have some news by mid july - is this enough time to organize the rest ? What can we do before hand ? Is there a base budget for this ?

## Fantasy Basel & Arcana

SGDA "Staff" badges or merch so that people under our booth can be recognized as such

black booths are not really inviting

Students would be interested to go to the Arcana festival and do the same thing

## Game Dev Space

Few suggestions:
- Creating an SGDA Git forge that people can get projects on:
	- free
	- with example Unity and Godot projects
	- with CI/CD available
	- hosted in Switzerland, heating Geneva water
- Making workshops to teach about DevOps and its benefits using said forge as a support

Git forge could start at around 15CHF/month for SGDA with 100GB storage
More realistically we should get a 50CHF/month VPS to cover for wider repos and long term usage

Any additional needs from participants are gathered here and then and raised to the board later to discuss how we should address them, either by:
- improving on the SGDA forge
- setting up custom forge for teams
- directly writing custom tests, tools or workflows for the teams

I think it would be fair to allocate some budget towards setting up team members on DevOps, as shown by the survey

Maybe ProHelvetia can help in that regard, just like they help with the SGA workshops. Also, DevOps support is akin to legal advice which we already provide

I'm the only one in Switzerland that is ready to provide that kind of service to our members

Usual hourly rate is 150CHF, but I would be ok making it 50CHF

This is insanely cheap compared to other cloud options that would allow for the freedom of providing such services to our members

### Remarks

What about Security ? talk with Marco.

What about offering a reliable service for years ?
That's the issue with any service really, it could stop at any time. We just expect it to continue and the more people there is using that service and working on it, the better the chances of continuing. 
Also, even if it should stop for a reason, the data is not going anywhere. There's no embargo on it and it's interoperable with Github. So a team can basically migrate from it with a single command and go back to whatever they're doing right now without losing anything.
