We're using Bill Griswold's ActiveClass software for a backchannel. About a third of the people here have laptops, but unfortunately there are very few outlets. It has been explained to me that this is because "it's rude to use your laptop while people are speaking," which seems, well, odd in a ubiquitous computing, but I understand the impulse. I myself go ballistic when people have their lids up while I'm speaking in public.
...The extended entry has a bunch of notes. I couldn't deal so I decided to leave midway through.
Lars-Erik Holmquist, last year's chair
This year's demo program was great. Keep it.
Need to get more papers from outside US/UK axis.
Multi-track!
John somebody
Get rid of separation btw. papers and technotes. just have 20 min long papers
Encourage more papers that build on others' work.
Michael Beigl, TecO Karlsruhe
Nigel Davis Lancaster
need to publicize admissions standards for papers
?
focus of conference: focused more and more on usability, less and less on systems community [huh? there's a ton of systems based stuff here. what a weird comment]
James Scott, Intel Research Cambridge
we should have day and a half long workshops
Mike Hazas, Lancaster
we should rename the papers
Armando Fox, Stanford
1-minute madness good!
reminds him of world wide web conf in 1997 -- enthusiasm and breadth
Larry Rudolph MIT
invitation only workshops a bit oppressive
workshop proceedings should be available to all
Volodymyr Kindra-something each other
direct some papers to workshops so that they're not completely rejected
Kay Connelly, Indiana U.
workshop proceedings, and formal report-out
Elizabeth Churchill, FX Pal
good on demo process, esp. shepherding and range
encourage people to keep demos up longer
Deborra Zukowksi, Pitney Bowes
loves workshops, poster sessions, interdisciplinary aspect
James Scott, IRC
more autonomy for workshops
workshop-only option
Jon Livingston, the memory project
one-minute madness format for workshop presentation
think about multi-track
Roy Want
create demo areas for mainly systems, prototypes, art projects so that sponsors realize that we are actually doing hard-core systems work and not just [that silly transient art stuff]
