			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My partner Andy forwarded me a great blog post recently about gettting to know your local video game industry &#8211; <a title="Local video game industry" href="http://www.examiner.com/x-4242-Baltimore-Gaming-Lifestyle-Examiner~y2009m2d26-Getting-into-the-industry-Know-your-local-resources" target="_blank">read it here</a>.  I&#8217;ve written a bit about this in the past, specifically in regards to job searching after <a title="Game industry layoffs" href="http://gamejobhunter.com/blog/game-industry-layoffs/" target="_blank">layoffs</a>, attending your <a title="local IGDA chapter" href="http://gamejobhunter.com/blog/igda-orlando/" target="_blank">local IGDA chapter</a> and tracking where all the<a title="Video game companies" href="http://gamejobhunter.com/blog/top-north-american-cities-for-video-game-development/" target="_blank"> video game companies</a> are.  The author of this article, Ms. Lesa Wilcox, is running with the same ideas.  She recommends identifying 3 specfic areas in your local game community &#8211; education facilities, networking opportunities, and a list of local companies.</p>
<p>For Ms. Wilcox, the target area is Baltimore, and she does an impressive job of laying out what the local scene looks like.  I think putting together a list like this is a great step in starting your job search, and I really like seeing a list like this laid out for a city like Baltimore.  You don&#8217;t necessarily think of Baltimore as being a game development hub, but it has a solid roster of developers and educational facilities.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thinking about putting together lists like these for a variety of cities, and I&#8217;d like to start with cities that fall outside the realm of the &#8220;superstar&#8221; development cities (San Francisco, Vancouver, Seattle, etc.).  I&#8217;ll probably start with Orlando, because that&#8217;s where I live.  <img src='http://gamejobhunter.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
