In preparation for our upcoming Global Game Jam 2013 (http://www.meetup.com/clevelandgamedev/events/87014062/) event, a lot of members have asked for an Introduction to Game Jams workshop. If you've ever been curious about what goes on at a game jam, to see how you might be able to contribute to a team, or to learn about tools & techniques that can speed up game development then this meeting is for you!

UPDATE - Below is a listing of the lightning talks we'll be having. After each talk, we'll also open the floor to questions and discussion.
