LÖVE

Hi everyone !
I've started noticing that more and more side LÖVE communities (and ways to communicate between long-distance LÖVErs) pop on every corner of the Internet.

We have:

• a website
• Skype groups here (not there)
• A Steam group
• A Twitter account
• An IRC channel (#love@irc.oftc.net)
• A subreddit
• Some code-hosting stuff
• Meetups everywhere in the world (hello to the guys in Paris and at the CCC in Berlin )
• An users map
• And certainly others out there - feel free to tell me to add them here

But what's my point with this non-exhaustive list ? Well, I think it's too much. People are desperate ! There's too much of side communities. We need a big, virtualized place to centralize all LÖVErs and their discussions about LÖVE. A place where people could discuss all night long about sophisticated libraries naming conventions, cryptic messages in avatars, hand-made GUIs, commercial code source obfuscryption, and beautiful indie game development.
And this place shall rule them all, and in a blue background wiht piggies and green little guys bind them. It shall be named "the Forum", coded with phpBB and stuff. Yeah right ? Have fun. OBEY.

I'm intrigued, I didn't know there was something happening in Paris, nor at CCC (I assume you mean the camp).

CCC Berlin usually refers to the club itself, which has an open meeting twice a week. But I haven't been there in a long time, people have been talking LÖVE there? :0

The Chaos Communication Congress is usually abbreviated as C3 and prefixed with the specific number (like 23C3).

Well there have been some meetups in Paris and I hope there will be more, and I'm trying to get my friends into LÖVE and Lua. I was talking about the club itself, because it is where I was first introduced to LÖVE about two years ago. And this summer when I went back I met undef, and there was a lot of nice guys, all of them new about LÖVE. It was just so cool. Nice summer indeed.

Well, it's just me and one other person who uses LÖVE at the club, so it's by no means a LÖVE community...
But it's a nice hackerspace

Can't you see the sadness in my eyes ?
Just joking, at least people knows about LÖVE, without using it, which makes them... potential lovers !

Hey there, Rucikir! You might want to check out the Unydev Paris meetup. We'll be organising new game jams and workshops soon!

I would like to see a Löver Meetup in Berlin .

I know, but for some reason I thought they were talking about events.
