## 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
|
||
|
||
