There are a ton of conventions coming up this Summer and Autumn. Many of the meetups are looking to transform themselves into full blown events. All of them release streams of exciting news for everyone to chew on. At the same time though, a good amount of you may not be able to attend, and we here at EQD do not want to bombard you with convention updates you aren't interested in.
So it's time to do what we do best here; turn it into a compilation! Each Friday night, we will be organizing the convention news of the week into a single post. I've talked to a couple of people working on these events, and they seem to agree that this is a good route to take.
The format may change, but what you see here is what these should look like. If there isn't any news, it will be skipped. If something is urgent, we still have Nightly Roundups for those, so feel free to request a slot in there instead, or both.
To convention organizers: Please submit news a day in advance, the same way nightly roundups work.
