[Sheflug] Linux Game Server Design

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

http://www.goshtv.com/2013/11/23/linux-game-server-design-seminar-dec-4th-sheffield-uk/

Robin Rowe and Gabrielle Pantera who gave us a lecture about Linux at 
the Movies all those years ago are back in Sheffield to give a lecture 
at the University on the 4th of December.

"  Games are the hot sector for start-ups in entertainment. The 
fastest growing game in 2012 reached 50 million downloads in just 50 
days. Game clients are typically small programs written in iOS or 
Android for running on phones, but servers must scale and be 
resilient. Massively multi-user servers are not easy to get right, as 
we have seen recently with the Obamacare server crisis. Weâll discuss 
multi-player game server design, the challenges, the obstacles and 
solutions.

Gabrielle Pantera and Robin Rowe are executives at the media design 
company Gosh!TV. Launched in 2010, the company is based at one of the 
oldest studio lots in Hollywood. Gabrielle is a game concept designer, 
a talk show host, a journalist and a producer. Sheâs worked for top 5 
TV production company Zodiak/RDF, for MGM and The CW network. Robin is 
a creative technologist, a journalist and a producer. Heâs worked for 
DreamWorks Animation, The BBC and NBC television. Heâs taught object-
oriented software design in C++ at the Naval Postgraduate School and 
the University of Washington.  "

Please come along if you have the time.

Regards
