Recently <a href=\"http:\/\/assemblyrequired.crashworks.org\/about\/\">Elan Ruskin<\/a>, a game developer at Valve, gave a talk at the Game Developers Conference about Valve&#8217;s use of crash analysis.

It&#8217;s very low traffic at present but I anticipate that it will grow as more people join.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the year, we plan on hosting the first inaugural Crash Summit at Mozilla, where we&#8217;ll talk about tools, crash analysis, and the future of crash reporting.  Email me if you&#8217;re interested in attending (laura at mozilla) or would like to present.  The event will be open to Mozillians and others.
