Hi,

A few months ago I sent a membership form and check to become a member
of BuckCHI.  I have not received any notice that you've received it, and
the check has not yet cleared, so I wanted to see if you had received
it.

Thanks,
Jim

Sorry about that.  You are in the database.
You are also on the buckchi-members mailing list.
We lost our treasurer one week into his term,
and have not yet completed the transition to
the newly appointed treasurer.  I am sure
your check is around somewhere.

As part of the building of BuckCHI, we have been
working on a member database and other member benefits
before contacting people.

I will want to NOT continue the practice that your
cancelled check will serve as your confirmation.
In the next month, you should receive a member's package.

Thanks for being patient.

I've been surfing the Local SIGCHI Chapter sites,
especially the web pages and have found:

Some give a discount for renewal
Some give a discount for ACM members
        - we do need to report how many of our members are ACM members
Several offer information on volunteering
Some allow listing skills along with interests
Many give members the option of snail mail for announcements
ToRCHI distinguishes between public and members-only distribution
        of information for directories
Most membership forms list the snail address of the membership chair.

Some of these will filter onto the membership form,
but I wanted to list them to get your reactions.

I think the volunteering issue suggests a direction we should
be concentrating on, so I hereby create the Volunteers Committee
and am looking for a chair.  Any volunteers?
(According to Article IX of our bylaws, I am supposed to
seek the advice of the Executive Council, so I am now
seeking your ideas about what the VolComm would do.)
The main goal would be to involve people and help create
the next generation of BuckCHI officials.  Very important!
Here is a good volunteer page:

Gary,

I like your approach a lot. I particularly like the publish
flag on each section. That's something I've toyed with
in the past for BayCHI but never got around to implementing.
BTW I'm about ready to explore putting the BayCHI membership 
database online (at least months and months away still) so am 
particularly interested in how your effort goes.

Based on both the CHI conference registration process 
and on my experience with the BayCHI membership database
I do have a few observations. You're dealing with a 
different subset of folks though so they may not be as
important in your case. Also the question of volume drives
many decisions and your volume will be significantly lower
than either the CHI conference or BayCHI situations.

Observations:

1. Middle Initial
   A surprising number of 'same name' situations seem to
   show up, even in limited populations.

2. A second email address.
   A lot of folks have both personal and business email.
   My experience is that when folks change jobs they often
   forget to let us know. When their mail bounces the first
   thing to try is a message to the secondary address then
   try phone numbers, etc.

3. ACM, SIGCHI membership status, number.
   I'm not sure of the value added in this information, but
   ACM and SIGCHI like to know how many of our members are
   members of their organizations.

4. Organization/Department
   Many organizations require two lines of information to
   form the address correctly. (i.e. Ohio State University,
   Department of Computer Science). 

5. Organization
   I have found it very useful in both the CHI and BayCHI
   experiences to have this field driven by a modifiable
   data list to insure consistent treatment of and orgs
   name entry. Makes sorting, etc. feasible.

6. Zipcode vs Postal Code
   A subtle difference. ZIP only applies to US addresses. I
   know that is your primary audience, but you may get folks
   in the international community who want to be members.
   BayCHI has members from all over the world. Creating
   address labels requires special consideration for where
   the postal code is placed depending on the country.

7. FAX numbers (home, business)
   This may or may not be of any value.

8. Delivery modes for services
   BayCHI sends out its newsletter by both email (default) and
   surface (special request) so the membership form must allow
   delivery selection. Similarly for the Job Bank.
   As additional services are added a selection box or other
   method of subscribing to optional services is required. This
   may also include specifying the delivery method.

9. Membership vs Non-Membership
   To sort of address Richard's question about when the database
   should be updated.

   I've always considered BayCHI to be a vehicle for promoting
   HCI/CHI issues in the community at large. Based on that I
   have always maintained the database to contain contact info
   on anyone interested in the subject whether or not they
   join the organization as a member. Membership provides
   additional benefits (newsletter vs simple meeting announcement,
   access to the job bank and consultants directory, entry in
   the membership directory and a copy each time it is published,
   etc.). I currently have about 1600 folks in the database of
   which about 740 are members. Probably half of our meeting
   attendees are non-members, often only there because of the
   specific topic and not even aware previously of even the
   existence of ACM, SIGCHI or BayCHI.

   This philosophy would lead to updating the database contact
   information immediately and having Russ update the membership
   status when the check is received. All member benefits should
   be driven by the membership status, so are not enabled simply
   by updating the member data, only by Russ.

10. Renewal Date/Cost
    Do you have annual memberships for the fiscal year, calendar
    year or a 12 month period from time of joining? Depending on
    your approach you may need to make the renewal date available
    to folks who are self modifying their entries. This should
    also include the fee information and submission info

11. Preferred mailing address
    Related to delivery modes above. Some folks like to have
    surface mail sent to their home, some to their business, so
    I have always advocated a preference selection box. Some
    think this is not necessary because folks will only fill in
    the info for one or the other. NOT. Many provide both sets
    of contact info, but do have a delivery preference. Also
    when the info is used to generate a mailing list it is nice
    to know if the organization name should be included. The
    recent CHI Conference data does not include that information.
    Everyone has a company and an address with no indication of
    whether the address is home or business. Unprofessional result
    in my book.


That's probably enough for now. I'll be happy to discuss any
aspect of your effort with oyou as it continues to evolve.

Cheers, Don

Gary,

I think we should rebate them anyway.  Have their membership start now and
charge them the new price.  But the question in my mind is whether to cash
these checks and and send them a refund OR send them back these checks and
ask them for new ones.  I guess another possibility is that I could give
them a call and ask them how they want me to handle it.  That might make it
more probable that they will stay on as members.  I just think that cashing
someone's check six months after the fact is a little odd.  What do you
think?

Jane

I received a verification email of my application to BuckCHI today.  It stated that my information was sent to you and stated to that where to send the membership fee.  I already payed when I turned in my application.  Just curious if I need to do something else to become a member or if that is just what is standard on the email messages.

Thanks.

I've drafted a promotional letter to send to a few hundred
companies, consultants, etc.  I'd like your impressions
and suggestions.

        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/promo.html

If we are gong to put on a workshop in December, the
promo and workshop flyer will have to go out in the
next week or so, so I need comments back soon.

The flyer is shaping up pretty well:
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/workshop.html
We are set up to offer official continuing education units,
and I think we should include two coffee breaks.
Any comments on the flyer and/or the timing?
I think we need to decide this week whether we
will offer the tutorial in December, or wait
until January or February.

I think we will soon, e.g., next week, be looking for
student volunteers to stuff envelopes and the like
in return for waived registration fees.
Any ideas about how to get students to volunteer?

In other news, I sent out renewal requests to our 1996 members,
not coincidentally a day after sending out an activity update.
I made phone calls to some missing members.
I've found one, but am trying to find:
        Georgia Crosby
        David Hays
        Michelle Smeller
Perhaps you have current email addresses for them.

Some of this only applies to US chapters, but chapters
in other countries may have similar mechanisms.

We are about to decide on how to conduct a mass mailing
to people who never heard of us.  Columbus Ohio USA has
over 500 companies and consultants working on software,
and only a small fraction have ever heard of ACM SIGCHI
or BuckCHI.

I decided that we should send out a letter introducing
BuckCHI to local software developers.  The letter we
have drafted is at:
	http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/promo.html
It has an interdepartmental routing slip, in the
probably pointless attempt to get people to pass
it around, but we are hoping it will have some effect.

ACM turned out to be a poor source for addresses.
Our request for online mailing labels produced
a list of people having no geographical relationship
to Central Ohio.  When I noted that, ACM send me a disk
with the same irrelevant addresses.  The list of email
addresses for Central Ohio added 3 people to our general
mailing -- not enough to have been worth the effort.
The local ACM chapter, COCACM, never answered any
email about cooperating promotions.  Oh well.
In any case, we want to get in touch with
software developers who may have never heard of ACM,
SIGCHI, COCACM, or other professional societies.

To come up with a list of places to mail to, I first
searched a  business CD ROM with SIC Codes (Standard
Industry Classifications).  Areas 73XX is heavily
into software and services, and I got a list of
about 500 addresses in the 614 area code.
Perhaps the Local SIGs chair should get a good CD and
do ad hoc queries for local SIGs in the coverage area.
Another technique was to search the local online
Yellow Pages, under topics like
	internet services
	software development consultants
and this yielded about 750 addresses.
We will probably add on a generic recipient
to the addresses:
	Software Developers
	Software Development Managers
or something similar.  Then we will cross our fingers.

Mailing turns out to take a lot of effort to save
money, but we have started the process of applying
to the US Postal Service for a Non-Profit permit.
Besides better identifying BuckCHI as a non-profit
scientific/educational organization, it saves
a lot of money on mailing.  Mass mailings will
cost us about 0.10 per unit instead of 0.32.
I am hoping we will be done with the effort
before we want to make our first mailing to promote
our first professional development workshop:
	http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/workshop.html
For us, $75 for mailing is a lot less than over
three times that.

If this is useful to you, great.  If you have any
ideas, please feel free to share them.

Maybe this would be a good job for a new membership chair...

It's time to start taking away benefits from lapsed members.
When Russ sends me the program for January and Feruary,
I'll put together a "here's what we are doing" message
and send it out to the following lapsed members,
which include:
        our program chair
        our secretary
        our publicity chair
        our past-chair (well, he moved away)
and some meeting regulars.  Yow!

After sending our the first round of expiration notices,
several to people on this list, who I hope will eventually renew,
I suggest that when dues are set by the EC next year,
there is a benefit for renewing, so new members will have
to pay, say, $5 more than renewing members.

Composing and sending out renewal notices,
updating databases and mailing lists,
with the hope of having to do it all again
to reinstate the lapsed members is a real pain.

Gary

Here is a different view on the member database:

Previously expired:

EXPIRE IDENT CATEGORY NAME
199709 00-04 Regular  Branaghan Russ
199709 00-05 Regular  Brown Doug
199709 00-08 Regular  Hinnant Michael   (this person moved away)
199709 00-12 Regular  Burket Linda
199709 00-13 Regular  Crosby Georgia
199709 00-14 Regular  Sontag Dave
199709 00-15 Regular  Pupons Daina
199709 00-16 Regular  Gratz Conrad
199709 00-18 Regular  Hays David

Over a month late, as of Dec 1, so they are off the list.
I sent out email to them today.

EXPIRE IDENT CATEGORY NAME
199710 00-19 Student  Ranson David
199710 00-21 Regular  Ulm Michael       (this person moved away)
199710 00-23 Regular  Watts Jennifer    (this person moved away)
199710 00-24 Regular  Unwin Heather
199710 00-25 Student  Washington Nicole

Expired today, still has a month or grace time:

EXPIRE IDENT CATEGORY NAME
199711 00-26 Regular  Simeral Elizabeth (I think this person has moved)

Will expire in a month, but will not be purged until Feb 1.

EXPIRE IDENT CATEGORY NAME
199801 01-01 Regular  Dahlgren Bret
199801 01-02 Student  Blynn Benjamin
199801 01-03 Student  William Colin
199801 01-04 Regular  Bartelt Bill

My inclination is to not take up expirations again until January,
by which time I hope I will have recruited a new membership chair.
After the mass mailing, I feel like I am out of ideas about
how to get new members, and it will be time for someone new.

Comments?  Suggestions for a new membership chair?

Under penalty of imprisonment and fine, I signed
the form to send our first bulk mailing.
Jane: check #20005, 12/16/97, $62.53,
paid for 622 ungradable self mailers (i.e.,
one folded promo sheet with notices of the workshop
and the next two technical meetings).
The entire production took three football games,
in my home office.  Only one paper cut.
I ended up with 622 because of some missing
addresses in the Yellow Pages, and addresses
outside the 43000-43399 zipcodes.

I think we should see how the mailing works
to generate interest and whether we should
do more mailings in the future.  Once you
know how, it's not too hard, but like many
systems, there are a lot of details to know.
The Postal Service was very supportive.

We can also consider advertising, for a fee.
Postal regulations allow us to mail at the
nonprofit rate with as much as 75% advertising
if various conditions are met.  Some companies
might be interested in advertising in a newsletter,
if one existed, which it doesn't, but could, if
someone were to volunteer.  This might be a good
EC lunch topic.

If you receive the mailing (I think Russ should),
please send me a note about when you got it and
what condition it arrived in.

I'll be interested to see the hits on the web site
over the next week or two.  Current values are below.
I wonder how it might affect attendance at the next
two technical meetings.

December 19, 1997

Dear BuckCHI Members,

As 1997 comes to an end, so does the first half year of service
by the first elected BuckCHI officials.  Here is a short report.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
-----------------
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/officers.html
-----------------
 * Jane Henderson of CompuServe has served admirably
   in her appointed role of Treasurer.
 * Heather Unwin of Time Warner / Road Runner joined
   the Executive Council as our Publicity Chair.
 * After executing his plan for a mass mailing to
   over 600 area companies and consultants,
   Gary Perlman is done with his role as temporary
   Membership Chair and is looking for a volunteer.
 * Keith Instone is tied up with SIGCHI activities,
   so we are also looking for a new Information Director,
   mainly to work on the Web site (which is actually
   being maintained by Gary Perlman).  UNIX, CGI, HTML,
   and the like are probably necessary skills for this job.
   One possibility is to focus on content (instead of
   delivery), and perhaps create a newsletter.
 * Lorraine Normore continues to serve as our Librarian,
   in charge of our collections of tutorial notes, and
   now technical meeting handouts and a video or two.
 * I would like to thank the other EC members for their
   continued service:
        Doug Brown (Secretary)
        Russ Branaghan (Program Chair)
        Susan Roth (Advisor)
        Lorraine Normore (Advisor)
        Emily Patterson (Student Advisor)
 * To prepare for an election in April, I will be looking
   for member volunteers to serve on the Nominations
   Committee to find qualified candidates for our three
   elected positions.  Contact perlman@acm.org for info.

The BuckCHI EC meets about once a month for lunch.
Minutes of our meetings, which are open to the public,
can be found in:
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/minutes.html

If you are interested in volunteering for some BuckCHI activity,
feel free to contact the BuckCHI officers by sending email to:
        BuckCHI-Officers@acm.org
Open positions include:
        Membership Chair
        Information Director
        Nominations Committee
Or make up your own activity (e.g., Newsletter Editor).

TECHNICAL PROGRAM
-----------------
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/meetings.html
-----------------
Russ Branaghan, our program chair, has organized a great
series of presentations, supplemented by a reduced fee for the
Shneiderman telecast in September.  Two more talks
are scheduled for January and February.  Our first
professional development workshop, with optional
continuing education credit, will be offered in January
using facilities donated by OCLC.

Send mail about the BuckCHI program to:
        BuckCHI-Program@acm.org

MEMBERSHIP
----------
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/membership.html
----------
One of my goals for my year as Chair is to increase
public and professional awareness of BuckCHI.
For public awareness, I enlisted a Publicity Chair.
To increase professional awareness of BuckCHI,
I created a promotional piece which was mailed out
to 622 Columbus companies and consultants in software.
The online version of the piece is suitable for printing
and circulating where you work (please do it):
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/promo.html
The piece also included notices of future technical
meetings and the workshop in January (with an error,
sigh; Doug Brown's talk is scheduled for Jan. 13,
not Jan. 21, the date of the usability workshop).

After speaking to some members and non-members, it was clear
that the qualifications for and benefits of membership
were not clear.  To be a member, you must pay dues.
To see if you are a member, check out the directory:
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/directory.html
(Note the new Consultants and Students sub-directories.)
As a member, you get the benefits described on:
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/membership.html
The main benefit of membership, I think, is to support our
technical program and other activities of the local chapter.
Without members, the organization will not continue to exist.
Membership in BuckCHI does not include membership in SIGCHI, ACM,
or any other organization, but it does not require it either.
As a 401(c)(3) non-profit educational institution, donations to
BuckCHI are tax deductible (to the extent permitted by law).

Send mail about BuckCHI membership to:
        BuckCHI-Info@acm.org

WEBSITE
-------
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/
-------
Our website recently went over 1000 hits in its first
five months of existence. Our technical meetings page
gets about 50 hits per month, and our new jobs page
has received about 100 hits per month.  With over 600
letters sent out in December, it will be interesting
to see how many new visitors check out the website,
attend technical meetings, and even join.

The BuckCHI website is indexed by AltaVista, WebCrawler,
HotBot, and InfoSeek, but not yet by Yahoo, Lycos, or Excite
(who seem to ignore their own suggestion forms).

Not a problem for me.  Incentives are good.

Do we know as yet if we'll be meeting Friday?

Gary,

I think that since we just changed the dues we should let it be for a
while.  I think we need to find other incentives to membership.  I think we
still don't know what it means to be a member if everybody and his brother
gets the mailings and can attend the meetings.  It turns into more of a
donation... and there's no reason to beat people up to give you a donation.
 Anyway, I ramble, but in any case I would vote no to changing the dues at
this time.

Jane

Thanks for the registration information.  Welcome to BuckCHI.
Your member benefits will start when we receive your dues.

You listed yourself as a consultant, but provided no
details on interests (many) or skills (varied).
Along with that, you provided no web page, so there
would not be much information people might use to
contact you about consulting.  I suggest you provide
more information.

Wandering around the remarkably confusing new ACM web site,
I found the online version of the Professional Chapter Handbook.
One activity they suggest is for professional chapters to
contact student chapters.  Ohio student chapters are listed under:
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/maps/stuchapus.html#OH

Some possible contacts:

Wright State University
             Sponsor:Mateen Rizki
             Chair:Seamus Sullivan
             Department of CS & Engineering
             303 Russ
             3640 Colonel Glenn Highway
             Dayton OH 45435
             acm@cs.wright.edu
             Phone:513.873.5101
             URL:http://www.cs.wright.edu/cecs/clubs/acm/


I sent announcements to the above chapter and to the OSU ACM chapter,
which apparently no longer has official status with the ACM.
        http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/acm
I also hit the OSU CS faculty, grad, and undergrad newsgroups.

Subject: BuckCHI: Central Ohio ACM SIGCHI

Dear ACM Student Chapter,

SIGCHI would like to provide your local sig with some number of advance
programs and/or postcards which advertise CHI'98.  How many would you
like?

The advance programs are each 40-pages long and provide a pretty thorough
listing of the CHI conference sessions and events.  Note, however, that
the advance program will become available on the WWW, so you may want to
request postcards which highlight portions of the conference and list the
URL at which the advance program can be accessed.  You are welcome to
request a combination of advance programs and postcards.

Please direct your request (and any questions you have) to Rosemary Wick
Stevens at chi-AC-Publicity@acm.org by 6 January 1998.  Include a street
address to which the requested programs and/or postcards should be sent.

Since January is a new year, and according to our bylaws,
"Dues shall be fixed annually by the Executive Council",
I propose that we change the dues to provide an incentive
for on-time renewal, and possibly for other attributes,
such as ACM membership.  Here is my proposal:
    CATEGORY    Initial   Renewing
    Regular       15         10
    Student       10          5
Yet another member benefit!  We would institute any
change after the workshop, to avoid changing the rules
while people might be joining.

What do you think?

Gary

Dear BuckCHI Members,

Just one week until our first Workshop:
        Practical Usability Evaluation
at OCLC, and there are some slots open for onsite registration
(please let us know if you are planning to "drop in"), but this
mail is for finding volunteers...

There are several volunteer positions open with BuckCHI.
If you would like to become more involved with BuckCHI
activities, now is a good time to consider it.
There are several reasons for volunteering:

 * actively improve the knowledge and practice of other professionals
 * opportunity to work with and get to know other HCI professionals
 * develop marketable skills (like web site development)
 * increased prominence in the field (your name in lights)

And you get to work with fun people.

The chairs of three standing committees are open.  More than one person
can be on a committee, to spread out the work.  Some people have expressed
an interest in doing part of a position, which is fine.

 * Program Committee
        - The main responsibility for the Program Committee is to
          arrange for speakers for our monthly technical meetings.
          It's a great way for someone to get to know many people
          working in the field.  It's the most visible activity we do,
          so it is very important.
 * Information Committee (Online Communication)
        - The main input we are seeking here is with our website,
          to make it more useful and usable.
 * Membership Committee
        - The main purpose of the Membership Committee is to recruit
          new members and retain existing members.

The BuckCHI Executive Council consists of the elected officers
and the Chairs of the standing and temporary committees.
The BuckCHI "EC" meets about once a month for lunch.

Speaking of elected officers, it is time to form a Nominations
Committee to find candidates for office.  BuckCHI has three elected
positions:
 * Chair
 * Secretary
 * Treasurer
Elected officers must be both ACM and SIGCHI members.
The Nominations Committee should consist of at least three BuckCHI
members.  The goal of the committee is to find at least two qualified
candidates for each position.  This committee should be formed by
March 1 and be done with its work by the time election results
are in, by June 1.  The work will involve a few meetings and some
phone calling and emailing.

If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information,
contact me.

I don't know about ACM's policy on sponsors, but I thought I
would run it by the BuckCHI EC.  The basic idea is that
we could attract corporate sponsors, they would give us money,
and we would give them a web page and a link to that page.
But it's not as crude as that.

Although money would be nice, corporate sponsors would:
 * make people (esp. managers) at the company more aware of BuckCHI
   (We sponsor this group, so we should send people to meetings!)
 * add prestige to BuckCHI
   (Well, that company thinks they are worth sponsoring.)
 * make people at other companies want to become more involved
   (Hey, why aren't we on that page?)
 * it would add something of interest to the web site
   (How do people at this place build usable systems?)

This came up in the context of the OCLC Web Site and its
Usability Lab page (which does not yet exist).  Instead of
working through the OCLC corporate maze, the Usability Lab
might prefer to put a page up on the BuckCHI site.
If we had a Newsletter, then we would probably be willing
to create a comparable page and call it a "Lab Profile".
Sponsorship would be more formal, but might create undesirable
contractual and legal issues about obligations to sponsors.

I don't know what it would cost or what content policies we
would have, but I thought it might be a good way to get
involvement at the corporate level.

What do YOU think?

If the policy was no refunds, then no refund is what we should do.  I do =
like the idea of sending the copy of the notes, however, as the fees =
were paid.

As far as generating additional circulation (I really hate to mention =
this idea, but it's my only one), what if we were to begin an =
unsolicited e-mail campaign.  Each regularly attending member could =
provide addresses for two or three individuals who could then be =
contacted, etc.  Sort of like those annoying Olan Mills phone sales, =
only we aren't asking for money, just advertising.  And the "victim" =
could unsubscribe at any time.

Subject:        BuckCHI workshop report

A total of 16 people showed up to the workshop.
Some OCLC people popped in and out, and there were
12 people left at the end.  Two non-OCLC people
toured the OCLC usability lab.

There were no onsite registrations, so the total
receipts (including memberships and payment for
CEU credit for one person) was $675.  I had OCLC
pay for the xeroxing, and I spent under $20 on
binders.  We'll be getting a bill for the breaks,
I guess about $100+.  I think it would have been
a good idea to have a catered break at 8:30;
people were scrambling for liquids.  Bottom line:
BuckCHI will net over $500 for the event.  That's
not a lot of money, but could fund some small
programs (e.g., we could get some CHI videos
for the library).

I don't know what I would do differently for
advertising future workshops.  I think the timing
of the mass mailing was poor, but I don't think
that explains why, for example, the number of
people on the BuckCHI-announcements list has
not increased.  I don't know if there were
any notices in newspapers placed by our
publicity chair, or if they would have helped.
With 11 people from OCLC showing up, I think
it was very worthwhile for me to give the workshop
for that reason alone, and with 5-6 people coming
from the rest of Columbus, it makes me happy to
be at OCLC. :-)

One paying person canceled last night at 7:15.
The workshop.html form had the policy:
        Refunds will not be issued after the late-registration date.
        Registration is transferable.
So my inclination is to not issue a refind, but offer to
send a copy of the notes to the person.  What do you think?

Several paying people asked for receipts.
I'll coordinate that with Jane.

Hello, all!

My name is George Kissel and I am interested in starting a new local chapter in
Connecticut, USA.  I wrote Richard Anderson a note asking about sponsorship of
local chapters and he said that it was not uncommon to have some sort of
relationship with a company and/or academic institution.  The most common form
of sponsorship seemed to be the group would be provided with a space in which
to hold regular meetings.

I would like to pose the following questions to all of you:

1. Does your chapter have a sponsor(s)?
2. What company/institution(s) sponsor your local chapter?
3. What form does this sponsorship take (e.g., meeting space, equipment use,
web space, food at meetings, printing/mailing costs, cash donations -and if so,
how much per meeting/year, etc.)?
4. Is sponsorship ongoing or is it revisited on a regular basis?
5. Can you think of any other relevant issues that should be mentioned?.......

I would greatly appreciate hearing about your experiences regarding this
issue.  You can respond to the list or contact me directly at
gkissel@us.ibm.com

Thanks for your time... George

George,

Hi.  I'm from the ToRCHI, the Toronto Region local chapter of SIGCHI.
Our sponsorships take the following forms:

  the Dynamic Graphics Lab within the Computer Science Department at
the University of Toronto hosts our web site.

  Communications and Information Technology Ontario (CITO) sponsors
  our mailing list

  Our meetings mostly occur at the University of Toronto but we try
having as many on-site meetings as possible, sponsored by the site.
These have included, numerous companies and corporations including
IBM, CIBC (2nd largest Canadian bank), Alias-Wavefront (major graphics
software corporation, owned by SGI), Digital Renaissance (dynamic,
growing consulting group), Ontario Hydro (provincial electric
company), ISG (medical imaging group).  ToRCHI members employed by
each of these groups organized the meetings.

We also co-sponsor biennial all-day workshops with CITO.  The money
from the workshops more than covers any other expenses.

I hope this is useful to you.  Good luck.

William Hunt, TorCHI information director
torchi@itrc.on.ca

George -

I'm the current chair of Puget Sound SIGCHI (PSSIGCHI), located in the
Seattle
area of Washington State. Here are my answers to your questions:

1. PSSIGCHI does not have an official sponsor. We do have informal ones,
though.

2. Our most frequent informal sponsors have been Attachmate, Usability
Architects,
Microsoft and DEC plus several other organizations that contribute
support on a less
frequent basis.

3. Our sponsors have contributed meeting space, equipment use,
email/web space, food at meetings and printing/mailing costs. We always
hold our meetings in space owned/leased by a sponsor. For the last two
years, this accounts for 100% of our meetings (we do 10 a year; one each
month from September through June). Our meetings are setup for 50 people
and we average about 35 people per meeting The sponsor giving us the
space
always provides audio/visual equipment (and sometimes computing
equipment,
too), which includes whiteboard, overhead project, screen and a data
projector.
Attachmate and Microsoft are the biggest contributors for PSSIGCHI
of meeting space. The chapter nearly always pays for its own food
although
both Microsoft and Attachmate provide soft drinks at no cost to the
chapter.
Our budget per meeting for food is roughly $100, which includes drinks
if
we are meeting somewhere (like DEC) that doesn't provide them free.
Usability Architects provides us with an email address and a website.
Since they pay a yearly fee for their own business, our use is rolled
into
that cost which the chapter is not privy to. The chapter rarely needs
printing/mailing resources but Attachmate recently provided that at no
cost
for our biggest membership/event campaign in years. We estimated this
mailing to cost $200 for postage and about $150 for paper/coping. I do
not
know the actual Attachmate costs.

4. Sponsorship is completely undefined for PSSIGCHI. We have no formal
agreements and rarely ask very far in advance of our need. The way it
works
here is we come up with a need (e.g. we have a speaker lined up for
June)
and we ask our available contacts at sponsoring organizations for help
(most of our contacts are current officiers of the chapter). We nearly
always
get a "Yes" because the contact is someone both sympathetic to the
chapter
(they are already a member) and has sufficient cloat at their company to
allocate the resources that we need. Our current chapter vice-chair is
John
Muehlheisen, manager of Usability Engineering at Attachmate. Can you
guess why Attachmate sponsors PSSIGCHI so generously?

5. Starting a chapter is tough if you are an independent contractor.
However,
if you are an influential member of an organization (i.e. a manager), it
can be
very easy because you have the power to allocate space and perhaps some
budget to start things up. You should only depend on this kind of
support for
your first year. By that time, you should have attracted enough members
from
other organizations that you can diversify your sponsorship needs plus
raise
revenue via membership dues and events (i.e. paid tutorials, etc.) to
supplement
chapter costs that either you cannot get sponsorship for or don't want
to be
asking money for (PSSIGCHI pays for its own checking account and post
office box, for example).

George--

Here's what we're doing at SIGCHI Toulouse...

>I would like to pose the following questions to all of you:

>1. Does your chapter have a sponsor(s)?

Not really.  The membership comes from a variety of university, research,
and industrial organizations.  None of these contributes to the chapter
other than in kind, such as providing space for meetings and the time of
the personnel involved.  I think this is all done informally, without
specific agreements.  All our distributions are electronic, so there are no
mailing costs.  As far as I know, we don't actually have any funds or a
budget; we neither charge dues nor solicit sponsorship.  I would also
comment that our chapter is heavily academic rather than industrial, and
that some of us spend a fair amount of time professionally trying to
persuade local industry of the importance of human-computer interaction as
a field.

Best of luck,

--David

We (BuckCHI, Central Ohio, USA) have been discussing this.
It came up in the opposite context as above.  A research
group did not have an external website, so we thought
that offering them a page as a benefit of corporate
sponsorship would be worth considering.  Since our website
is supported by ACM/SIGCHI, we would have to check on the
legalities and such.

For us, the main reason for sponsorship would be to
promote BuckCHI to people at companies by being validated
by a known local entity.

Off topic:
        I just added a primitive search facility to our website:
                http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/
        and I added a one-box form to add people to our mailing list.
        Let me know if you have ideas or want to adapt any of it.

George,

It seems you've been getting almost a complete picture of the local SIGCHI
chapters and how they operate.  But it's interesting for each of us to see
the information from other sites too.  So here are some details for ours,
the Ottawa (Canada) chapter, known as CapCHI.  Since Montreal doesn't have
a chapter of its own, people from Montreal sometimes attend as well.

A local large company, Nortel, provides us meeting space.  As elsewhere,
this works informally because we have members of the executive who work at
Nortel and can book the rooms directly.  And currently the National
Research Council hosts the chapter web site, which was again easy to
arrange because I happen to work there.  I don't think either of these
organizations consider this to be "sponsorship".  It is simply tacit
corporate support for their employees' professional development, and they
undoubtedly gain a certain public relations benefit.  We don't appear as an
item in anyone's budget.

Our chapter has been in existence for some years, but since it depends
entirely on volunteer labour, requires a continuing stream of enthusiasm to
keep it healthy.  A group of us is currently rebuilding the chapter after a
short dormant period.

We hold monthly meetings.  Our speakers are usually local, but we try to
take advantage of relevant people visiting the area.  Our finances are
minimal (they work out at a few dollars per meeting per person), and we aim
to cover refreshments and a nominal gift for the speaker (e.g. a book
token).  But we are thinking of slightly raising the membership fees and
introducing some new kinds of event, and with the next meeting we're
planning a post-session visit to a local pub.

Actually, for us "allowed" works because it's directed at the designers, not
the users.  The imperitive could be thought of as a request from users, "Don't
make me hunt, you silly, nasty software designers."

To dismiss the allowed vs. required discussion entirely, we could go with
simply:

No Hunting

I have this vision of a bright orange t-shirt with one of those signs:

                POSTED

            NO HUNTING

        It is against good design
        principles to force users
        to search for the functionality
        they need to do their work.
        Violators will be forced to
        work with command driven
        interfaces with complex
        grammars for ten days and
        stripped of their design
        licenses for 90 days.

There always seems to be something I learn when at
a BuckCHI technical meeting, so I thought it might be fun
and even useful to try to encode some knowledge in slogans,
collect a list of slogans on a page on the BuckCHI site,
and share the wisdom with others.  Maybe if it's a good list,
we could make the all important chapter T-Shirt to wear at CHI 98.

To get the ball rolling, I asked Mike Prasse for an explanation
of the OCLC Usability Lab's Motto:
        The User is Always Right
to which he replied:
        'The User's Perceptions are Always Right' is the
        long form. The UI should strive to work the way
        users believe it should work (bridging the 'Gulf
        of Execution'). This does not mean that users do
        not make mistakes; they do. For example, users
        may press a key different from what they
        intended. But if they press a key consistent with
        their perception of how the system should work
        but different from what the designer intended, a
        change in the UI should be considered.
If you have a slogan, motto, rule-of-thumb, please
send it to me (ALONG WITH AN EXPLANATION) and I will compile
the results on a web page at:
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/slogans.html
I don't know what we will do about quality control,
but I am willing to give an unstructured process a try.

I think it's a good idea.  Add to the list of positives a desire to be =
aware of what the competition is doing and building business contacts.

Subject:        BuckCHI Corporate Sponsors

I don't know about ACM's policy on sponsors, but I thought I
would run it by the BuckCHI EC.  The basic idea is that
we could attract corporate sponsors, they would give us money,
and we would give them a web page and a link to that page.
But it's not as crude as that.

Although money would be nice, corporate sponsors would:
 * make people (esp. managers) at the company more aware of BuckCHI
   (We sponsor this group, so we should send people to meetings!)
 * add prestige to BuckCHI
   (Well, that company thinks they are worth sponsoring.)
 * make people at other companies want to become more involved
   (Hey, why aren't we on that page?)
 * it would add something of interest to the web site
   (How do people at this place build usable systems?)

This came up in the context of the OCLC Web Site and its
Usability Lab page (which does not yet exist).  Instead of
working through the OCLC corporate maze, the Usability Lab
might prefer to put a page up on the BuckCHI site.
If we had a Newsletter, then we would probably be willing
to create a comparable page and call it a "Lab Profile".
Sponsorship would be more formal, but might create undesirable
contractual and legal issues about obligations to sponsors.

I don't know what it would cost or what content policies we
would have, but I thought it might be a good way to get
involvement at the corporate level.

What do YOU think?

Welcome as a new member of BuckCHI!

I filled out a basic member form for you,
so you are listed as a member, but
 - no interests or skills are listed
 - your basic, personal and work information are not public
An example of a more public entry is:
	http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/entries.html#00-02
Many members just publish their basic and work information.
So let me know if you want anything changed in your entries,
or just fill out the member form.

You now have access to our library, which is at:
	http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/library.html

Gary

I'd like to do a membership survey, along with a non-member survey.

I'd like to find out what members value and what non-members
would need to motivate them to join.

I'd also like to gather info about what technical meetings
and professional development workshops would be of interest.

Before I start, I'd like to gather your input about questions to ask.
Then, I'll cobble together a survey and circulate it for comment.

Please send me suggestions by the end of the week, Friday, May 8.

By the way, here are the top keywords in member interest sections:

  33 design
  15 usability
  11 testing
   9 interface
   6 web
   6 ui
   5 hci

Gary,

Sorry for taking so long to reply.  Seems like I've been a little
scattered.  I have not seen any checks from any of the people on this list:

199801 Blynn, Benjamin bblinn@juno.com
199801 Dahlgren, Bret bret@lm.com
199801 William, Colin cwill10@emory.edu

199804 Geyerman, James jgeyerman@acm.org
199804 Ingram, Brett ingram.19@osu.edu
199804 Smeller, Michelle smellem@nationwide.com

So if you want to send out reminders, that would be fine.

The most recent membership checks I have received were from:

Gail Thornburg (4/15)
Joel Baskin (4/2)

I will get you an updated list when I get a chance.

Jane

P.S.  Am mailing you a check today.  Let me know if there is anything else
you need.

Gary,
Some thoughts and questions about the survey:
* What is the composition of the membership list in terms of discipline and
professional practice vs academic or student status? How do their needs for
information differ?

* One method would be to suggest specific topics (based on the list of most
frequently used words) and ask members  for input on those, e.g.,
interactive interface design (as applied to such  areas as search engines,
information systems, instructional media, complex systems); usability
studies (research findings or methods), etc., with a request for additional
topics.

* Panel discussions can bring more information to bear on a topic at a
single meeting - for example, a panel composed of visual designers,
computer programmers, and cognitive engineers discussing a specific
interface /development process. Can we bring in more outside "experts?"

* What were your most popular topics last year? Do people feel they are
receiving adequate benefits for their membership now, and if not, what else
would they like to see done?

Thank you for your application for BuckCHI membership.

Unfortunately, student membership rates are only available
to full time students.
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/bylaws.html#IV
I have updated the membership form to make that clearer.
Please submit the form data so that we do not need
to re-enter the data and possibly insert a typo;
you can send in your membership dues separately.

I also updated the form to indicate the address of
one of our new co-chairs.

Gary,

Check out http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/avatar2/logo/alternatives/

Let me know:
- what you think of these options
- are these too many alternatives to get feedback on
- how do you think we should proceed

Thanks

Gary,

Yes I did recieve her check.  I've been in and out on vacation the last
month and apologize for not getting back to you sooner.    I have this
summer gotten checks from:

Sabina Szonn
4788 Avebury Ct.
Columbus, OH 43220
442-1398

Michelle Smeller
161 E. Tulane Rd.
Columbus, OH  43202
261-4509

Both checks were for $10.00 and are therefore regular memberships.

By the way, I talked with Russ yesterday.  We had planned to do an
executive council lunch on the 25th.  As it turns out he has a conflict on
that day and we are thinking about moving the lunch to the 27th.  Would
that work for you?  I'll send out a note to the BuckCHI officers list
today.

Jane

Hello,

My name is Sabina and I had sent $10 for my membership to BuckCHI, how
do I know if I'm a member or not?  My name is not listed on your web
page containing members.

Sincerely,
Sabina Szonn

Well, it wasn't a solid month of vacation.  But my kids were away and I was
travelling back and forth to be with them.  Short weeks, long weekends, and
the last week and a half I was away altogether.

So does Sabina want to help with the web site?  Or did she express interest
in any particular area to volunteer on?

As for lunch next week... I'll send out a note and see when others are
available.

Just FYI:

I called Alta Analytics (they're in Westerville) and faxed them a =
description of the talk and BuckCHI (from the web) but the lady I talked =
to (Tracy) said that no HCI people work there.  There are about 25 =
people but they are all software developers -- in fact, she sounded =
slightly proud of the fact that that was all there was.  So she will =
post it but I don't expect we'll get anybody from there.  Sad, really, =
because they have very nice visualizations and ideas but I think they =
would benefit by improving their HCI.

Looking at Battelle's website, I couldn't see who would be directly =
interested in data overload stuff -- I know Battelle does this stuff, =
but I'm not sure if it's at other sites.  So I didn't talk to anyone =
there.

I posted the description on the OSU newsgroups I had mentioned before.

Roughly half our memberships expire at the end of this month.
So, it's time for our big annual renewal drive.

Member dues are set by the EC.
Last year, I had to do a lot of work to follow up on old members.
I suggested then, and propose now,
to change our dues to promote prompt renewal.
        New members: $15
        Renewing members: $10
        New/Old Students: $7/$5
Or something like that.

Should we mail out letters with pre-addressed return envelopes?
Pre paid?

Should we wait for our 3-fold brochure?

I think we should send out a list of speakers lined up for
the next few months to show that there is a lot of planned
activity.  I would like to do that before working on renewals.
Can I get a list of speakers, topics, and dates?

I could put expiration dates on the member directory
so people can look it up.  Sending out email with the
date seems to be ignored, often.

I'll try to bring a sheet with member expiration dates
to the meetings.  At the next meeting, this info will
be available online, so we can do some processing there.

Some of your local sigs create and disseminate newsletters.  Here is one
example, for those of you looking for ideas for such newsletters and for
more info about what other local sigs do.  Others of you develop
newsletters that are very different from this one; feel free to share an
example.  (I'll post examples from both CHI-Atlanta and BayCHI.)

1.  FROM THE CHAIR

By Nick Sabadosh, Chair, CHI-Atlanta (nicksab@acm.org)

This month it was easy for me to decide what to discuss in this column
because something big is about to happen. CHI-Atlanta is about to
pass a major milestone, Chapter Officer Elections, arguably the most
significant event since the chapter was formed over a year ago. In the
next few weeks, chapter members will have the opportunity to
nominate and vote for the officers of CHI-Atlanta. A group of CHI*A
members volunteered to form the Elections Committee which will be
managing the elections process. Watch your email and check the web
site for the latest information on the elections process.

I strongly urge you to play an active role in this important step in the
growth of CHI-Atlanta. It's your opportunity to have a fundamental
effect on the direction of the chapter.

There are three ways to get involved:

1) The most obvious way, and the easiest, is to vote at election time.
   Please make a point to reserve time for this election. With a group
   as small as ours, every vote counts.

2) You can also affect who is on the ballot by submitting
   nominations for candidates, or suggesting to someone that they
   should consider running.

3) The ultimate way to contribute of course is to be a candidate
   yourself!  What better way to get involved!

This first CHI*A election is perhaps even more important because it's
the first time that the chapter will be able to select their own officers.
The existing group of officers was not elected - we volunteered to get
the chapter going, and our posts were determined mostly by group
discussion.  This bootstrapping process is the typical way that chapters
get started, and I'm happy to say that it seems to have worked well in
the case of CHI-Atlanta. The chapter has come a long way in the last
year, and I'm proud of what the Officers and other volunteers have
accomplished. Now it's time for the members to help guide the chapter
by deciding for themselves who will guide the chapter.

I'm very excited about the upcoming elections, and I look forward to
seeing the results! If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me or Tim McKay, Chair of the Elections Committee
(tim_mckay@yahoo.com).

4.  IMPONDERABLES

by Don Rickert, Managing Editor, The CHI-Atlanta Bulletin
(Donald.Rickert@mindspring.com)

That's right-a new column!  Imponderables are those really strange
things we see around us that just don't seem quite right.  This column
is about these imponderables and other observations of the weird in
the world in which we HCI professionals work.

When a profession is in a state of rapid transition, as we seem to be,
this often results in practices that don't make sense; for instance a
trained human-computer interaction professional, despite all his or her
training, doing an "information architecture" for a web site without
ever talking to a single user.  Why does this type of thing take place?
A lot of it has to do with the fact that so much of our work relates to
the World Wide Web these days.  The Web is being driven by models
derived largely from advertising and marketing, which have their own
traditions.  Make no mistake about it; these traditions are different
from those on which human-computer interaction is based.  The
research methods (and even the value of research) are different.  The
reward structure is different.  The work style is very different.  The
pace is different.  The emphasis on "branding" and "coolness" is
different.

Can human-computer professionals ever survive in this New World?
Probably yes in the long run, but it is going to be survival of the fitte=
st
in the foreseeable future.  I imagine that a lot of us will recreate
ourselves as "web information architects" or "web interactive
designers".  Some will succeed at staying in the human-computer
interaction fold by evolving in some other way-who knows?  At the
very least, there will be many imponderables along the way, providing
lots of material for your entertainment.

Here goes-this issue's imponderables.  I swear-I am not making
these up (1).

Why will an organization that spends $500,000 on a web site find a
$25,000 price tag for a good usability test too pricey?

Why are people who execute the techniques of graphic design called
"creative" professionals, and nobody else is? (2)  Is there something
"un-creative" about software engineering brilliance, invention, a
brilliantly conceived usability strategy or discovery research?  If
anyone thinks that the term "creative" applies to only "creative
professionals" (in its term-of-art usage), they need to read Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi's book, Creativity.

Why is the web site for two of the creative geniuses(3) of our time,
Jakob Nielsen and Donald Norman, so darned plain? (see the Nielsen
Norman Group at www.nngroup.com).  Maybe they know something
about web sites we should pay attention to.  Or maybe they are only
joking-what do you think? (I had better clear out my mailbox to
make room for e-mail on this topic).

Why don't some our HCI colleagues return phone calls or emails?  I'll
bet that most medical doctors will return other doctors' calls, most
lawyers will return other lawyers' calls, most architects will return
other architects' calls, and so on.  If we HCIers ever hope to have a
sense of professional unity, it has to start with everyday courtesy
towards others who claim to belong to the same professional group.

Why is it always the usability professionals who have to spend a large
amount of their time (often their own time in the wee hours of the
morning) explaining the cost-benefit of their profession.  Come on
now!  We've been at this for well over a decade.  What is so hard to
get about the value of usability?

Why can't we come up with some type of "universal" symbol to
represent HCI?  Professions that everyone understands all have readily
recognizable symbols to represent the profession.  Medicine has the
snake on a stick, law has the scales, architecture has the builders'
square, Realtors have the house symbol, etc.  The general principle
seems to be that professions are known by their tools, or by some
mysterious symbol dating back to the Middle Ages (as in the snake on
a stick).  What symbol does HCI have?  None.  I really wish that I
could buy a usability necktie, or had something clever (as in SHRINK,
MD, LA-LAW, DON-ESQ) to put on a vanity plate.  Something to get
to work on.

That's all for this issue.  I welcome your submissions for future issue
of the Bulletin.  You can e-mail me at donald.rickert@mindspring.com.


Footnotes:

(1) Credit where credit is due-this is a Dave Barryism.

(2) My friends who are graphic designers, before you write your
    letters of complaint to the editor, please note that I take
    no issue with graphic design being considered a creative
    profession.  My issue is that the other creative professions
    are not referred to as such.

(3) I will gladly take on all comers in arguing this point.

6.  PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATIONAL MULTIMEDIA USER
    INTERFACE DESIGN

Larry Najjar (lnajjar@ixl.com), member of CHI-Atlanta, has a paper
in the most recent issue of the journal "Human Factors."  The abstract
is:

"This paper discusses principles of educational
multimedia user interface design.  The purpose of
these principles is to maximize the learning
effectiveness of multimedia applications.  The
principles are based on the results of studies in
psychology, computer science, instructional design,
and graphics design.  The principles help user
interface designers make decisions about the
learning materials, learners, tasks that the learners
perform, and tests for measuring learning
performance."

The principles are:

* Use the medium that best communicates the information.
* Use multimedia in a supportive, not a decorative, way.
* Present multimedia synchronously.
* Use elaborative media.
* Make the user interface interactive.
* Use educational multimedia with naive and lower-aptitude
  learners.
* Present educational multimedia to motivated learners.
* To avoid developmental effects, use educational multimedia
  with adults and older children.
* Use multimedia to focus the learner's attention.
* Encourage learners to actively process the information.
* Match the type of information tested to the type of
  information learned.

7.  THE EDITOR'S COLUMN: Why Is User-Centered Design Not
    Good Enough?

By Don Rickert, Managing Editor, the CHI-Atlanta Bulletin
(Donald.Rickert@mindspring.com)

Usability is a key attribute of everything that people use.
This even includes web sites, despite appearances to the contrary.
Why?  Because usability matters.  Usability is a pivotal concern
in the design of products of all kinds, especially Internet
applications. That is because more and more consumers are putting
a high value on ease of use and perceived quality, as well as other
recognized attributes such as attractiveness, emotional appeal,
seductiveness, efficiency and usefulness.  Some would argue that
the last two are actually part of usability.  Okay, so they are.
Recent research (e.g. the Carnegie-Mellon HomeNet study(4),
The Georgia Tech Web Survey) shows that most users find Internet
applications to be absolutely unusable.  The common response is to
simply stop using the offending web sites, or the Internet altogether!

In general, I think (hope) that we all believe in a User-Centered
Design perspective when it comes to ensuring the usability of
interactive systems (e.g. interactive web sites).  There are many cases,
however, where User-Centered Design must be supplemented by
inventiveness (the invention model).  The User-Centered Design
perspective is based on the idea that needs and wants of potential users
of a web site or other system are best determined through iterative
cycles of cognitive analysis, design, implementation (prototypes)
and usability testing.  The invention model holds that design is the
primarily the result of designer inspiration and genius.

Why is invention so important?  Because User-Centered Design, in
practice, has tended to place too great an emphasis on technique-
methods like focus groups and usability testing, which are biased
towards uncovering what people say they want and need.  Peoples'
expression of what they want and need is very much tied to what
already exists!

If the problem at hand calls for a usable, if not necessarily novel
system, user-centered design as commonly practiced usually does the
trick (5).  But if the need is for something new, forget it. It takes the
inspired creativity of the inventor/designer to create solutions that are
truly novel, although not always usable at first.  The problem is that,
more often than not, we HCI professionals ALWAYS act as if user-
centered design is always THE answer.  As good User-Centered
Design practitioners, we execute a series of focus groups to find out
what users need, build a prototype based on what they say they need,
and then run a usability test.  Given budget and time, we run several
iterations of prototyping and usability testing.  The output of this
process is an artifact (e.g. a web site) that has passed the muster of
usability testing with flying colors.  On countless occasions, I have
heard the argument for NOT doing something innovative is that it
"passed" several iterations of usability testing, or "that didn't come up
in the focus group."

But is it what the client really wanted or the end users really needed?
So, if User-Centered Design by itself tends to give us systems and
products that are usable but commonplace, and unbridled
design/invention gives us novel but not necessarily usable, what is the
answer?  I maintain that it is the dynamic tension between the two that
leads to greatness.

Footnotes:

(4) Even critics of the methodology of the HomeNet study, such as
    CHI-Atlanta's own John Zimmatore, can agree that the study's
    conclusions about the unusability of the web hold true.

(5) I was tempted to give some examples of the types of system for
    which non-innovative but usable would be acceptable.  Initial
    examples that came to mind were things like financial planning or
    flight control systems.  After careful, consideration, I decided
    that it should not be my place to relegate particular types of
    applications to the "ordinary but usable" category.  As you read
    this, someone might be working on a paradigm-busting Internet
    banking system that will change everything-that is how invention
    sometimes works.

11. THE UNIVERSITY REPORT: A Slice of Web Design &
    Development '98

By Brenda Smith Faison, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Art,
Department of Visual Arts, Kennesaw State University
(bfaison@ksumail.kennesaw.edu)


The Web Design & Development '98 conference was held in Boston,
MA and ran from September 22nd through 26th. I attended two days
of the five-day event where Boston's Hynes Convention Center
provided the setting for the event's activities. The conference was
attended by approximately 16,000 Web professionals, and 150
speakers.

The purpose of the conference was to provide a forum for
practitioners, educators and manufacturers involved in a variety of
Web-related pursuits. It gave participants an opportunity to share new
ideas, emerging tools, sharpened skills, course materials, and to
develop fresh contacts. The conference identified five categories in
which tutorials, and courses were structured. The topic categories
included: Strategy, Information Design, Visual Design, Usability,
Programming, and Backend. The following is a brief discussion of
some of the sessions I attended.

The first course I attended under the Strategy category and was called
"Creative Webvertizing-Drawing Them In". It was a one hour, Web-
based presentation made by Raymond Pirouz. He is a senior partner in
the firm R35 LLC, a digital design studio; and R35 Direct, a company
marketing Web Design tools (hardware, software) to the Internet
community. Pirouz develops strategic visual communication for
consumers of emerging technologies, addressing the Web and mail
order outlets.

His course was billed as one that would focus on and discuss the basic
tenets of traditional advertising as they relate to the Web, analyze the
Internet audience, and highlight existing sites that were successful.
Instead, what one came away with was an in-depth analysis on ad
banners. A banner on a Web site is much like a small space ad in a
newspaper, a necessary evil. They are the small, usually horizontal and
animated strip that prompts you to "click" on it, in order to transport
you to another site that is paying for space on the site that you initial=
ly
went online to visit. According to Lynda Weinman, a nationally know
Web design guru, many professional design firms are making more
money designing advertising banners for Web application than Web
sites. This is obviously a niche area for Pirouz, who devoted much of
the hour (95%) to the fine points of the banner-related exemplars,
techniques, and technologies. This session proved a narrowly focused,
yet informative view of commercial promotional possibilities on the
Internet.

My next course was "Designing Web Navigation" from the
Information Design category, and was hosted by Jennifer Fleming.
Fleming operates Boston-based SquareCircle Solutions, a Web
company that specializes in idea generation, interaction design, and
user experience consulting. She has recently authored a book entitled
"Web Navigation: Designing the user experience." A free sample
chapter (Chapter 2) of this publication is available for downloading at:
www.ahref.com/navigation/.

Also using an interactive, Web-based presentation, Fleming
carefully stepped us through her "Ten Qualities of Successful
Navigation" which she developed and published after two years of
research. Expanding on each area, she stopped by various sites to
illustrate the main points of each quality. Fleming suggests the
following ten qualities as vehicles for effective interactive navigation.
The site or application should: be easily learned, remain consistent,
provide feedback, appear in context, offer alternatives, require an
economy of action and time, provide clear visual messages, use clear
and understandable labels, be appropriate to the site's purpose, and
support user, goals and behaviors. For an expanded discussion of these
qualities, download Chapter 2 at the URL listed above.

I found the information presented by Fleming timely and thought
provoking. She highlighted principles that were applicable and of
concern to Web site workers at every level. Many of these ideas will
also easily transfer to CD-ROM based interactive media.

There were also several product spotlight demonstrations such as Web
Design 98's QuickTime Showcase open session presented by Mitch
Weinstock, an Apple Computer representative. Following under the
Visual Design category, this session was two hours in length, and
primarily highlighted the latest release of QuickTime. However, the
following supporting software programs were touched upon briefly
and included: QuickTime VR Authoring Studio, Media Cleaner Pro,
and the beta version of Electrifier Pro 1.0 for the development of
QuickTime Web media.

Since its beta release in 1991, Apple Computer's QuickTime has had a
chance to prove itself a highly efficient and effective tool for
preparing digital video for the Internet, CD ROM, etc. Currently, it is a
hugely popular program being used in tens of thousands of multimedia
titles. Though initially only available to Mac users, now 76% of
Windows users incorporate QuickTime which makes it a universal
platform for digital media.

QuickTime has now been brought to market in its latest version;
QuickTime 3 Pro. Some of its key features include its open
architecture, integrated features, and scalability for broadcast via the
Internet. Another useful attribute is its acceptance of various file
formats for video, such as DV, AVI, animated GIFS, etc.; still formats
like Photoshop, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, etc.; and Audio formats
including WAV, AIFF, Sound Designer II, etc. It is also is extensible
for new files. QuickTime has also proved flexible in that it is
applicable for high-end production and the Web, working with any
server.

The QuickTime Show Case presentation was computer based, upbeat,
and informative. To download samples of what can be done using
QuickTime 3 and get more information on its new features, go to

work has focused on corporate Web sites and educational multimedia.
This year, "AdWeek" named iXL the top interactive agency (we tied
with someone else).

Nearly 20 full-timers and contractors design user interfaces for iXL-
Atlanta.  Most of these people have backgrounds and experience in
instructional design or technical writing.  As clients' needs for more
sophisticated Internet solutions grow (e.g., e-commerce, core business
applications), iXL-Atlanta is adding people with backgrounds in
usability.  Currently, iXL employs one full-time and two contract
usability engineers.

The user interface designers at iXL are called "information architects."
We have two primary deliverables.  The first deliverable is a flow
chart that shows the structure of the application.  This is used to get a=
n
idea of the size and organization of the application. The second
deliverable is a design specification document that describes the layout
and content of each Web page.  The information architect leads the
review process to ensure that these deliverables meet client
expectations.  When the documents are approved, graphic designers
and programmers use them to build the application, with the
information architect providing expert input.

Projects, especially Web design projects, can be very short.
Depending on the customer's needs, some prototype Web projects are
as short as two or three weeks.  Most projects are longer, but none go
on for years and few last more than a couple of months.  Customers
tend to add work in phases.  So, if they like Phase 1, they will pay for
a follow-on Phase 2 or Phase 3.  One of iXL's key strategies is to
develop longer-term partnering relationships through successful
execution of Phase 1 projects.

The culture is different here.  iXL is not a traditional software
development company.  We get a free lunch every Wednesday and
bagels and donuts every Friday.  Every couple of Friday afternoons or
so, we have "Feedback Friday."  During "Feedback Friday," project
managers present short summaries of their work while everyone drinks
margaritas and celebrates the success of the projects.  On Thursday
nights, we have iXL University.  An employee talks about a timely
topic such as image compression.  The presentation is posted to the
company Intranet as streaming media courseware.

iXL is growing quickly, which makes staffing of talented professional
resources difficult.  If you are interested in information architecture a=

ABSTRACT:

I'm tired of reading gushing articles about the wonders of computing.  I
now wonder:  what do we lose when we plop down in front of our keyboard?

Does daily life require computers and digital networks?  They're
irrelevant to negotiating, driving, cooking, eating, hiking, dancing,
speaking, visiting, and gossiping.  You don't need a keyboard to bake
bread, play touch football, piece a quilt, build a stone wall, recite a
poem, or say a prayer.  Virtual communities chatter about cybersex,
cybersluts, and cyberporn, but the real thing ain't there.

The mythos of computing suggests that the Internet is essential to jobs,
education, libraries, medicine, and community.  How many jobs demand
knowledge of computing?  How many require people skills and
non-computing technical skills?   If computers are so great for
efficiency, how come American business productivity has been essentially
flat over the past two decades?

Rather than bringing us together, might our online obsession be
isolating us from each other?

Do computers belong in classrooms -- or might they get in the way of
learning?  Why do libraries spend so much on multimedia gizmos rather
than books, journals and librarians?

Despite -- or because of -- my love for computing and electronics, I
feel that we propellerheads have a responsibility to challenge overblown
claims.  Rather than painting the usual rosy future, I'll speak to the
problems resulting from the blind acceptance of a digital wonderland.

For this and more, come hear Silicon Snake Oil - A Skeptical View of
Computing.

5)  July Meeting Report
    by John D'Ignazio

The July 14 BayCHI meeting featured Laurie Vertelney, senior interaction
designer for Interval Research Corporation in Palo Alto, Ca. Vertelney
discussed how to discover "What the User Wants, Needs, and Desires" as a
way to come up with a superior product design.

Vertelney's design process evolved as she worked in various positions
for tech houses after obtaining an industrial design degree.  When
designing a product, she learned to view the users as design partners
and put them in the position of telling her what they wanted in their
future. This process helps her cross the divide from the reality of
where user-oriented design falls in the scheme of product design to a
more ideal interaction design.

Vertelney's lecture started out with a series of definitions. She first
defined the ideal way of product design as being when user interaction
informs the whole design cycle. Designers spend time identifying the
needs, wants, and desires of an accessible user group. These factors
define the prototype, and the design is validated through iterative
usability testing. An interdisciplinary team that respects each other's
contribution uses shareable prototyping tools to create the final
design.

Instead, the reality is often that usability is considered a hurdle to
cross to make the design complete. The management mandate extends only
so far as making a marketing-specified product  "pretty." Products are
designed more to take advantage of a technology and user-oriented design
considerations are brought in late in the process. These considerations
often provoke interdisciplinary struggles. The resolution of these
struggles don't necessarily result in a better product since there is
usually a generalized customer in mind. The result is the inevitable
second round of design to clean it up.

During the meeting, Vertelney relied on the system devised by her former
coworkers at Apple, Charlie Hill and Stephanie Houde, to help map "What
prototypes prototype." The system is a graphical triangle that
represents the strategy of prototyping. On each triangles axis is a
label:  Implementation, Role, and Look & Feel. These represent the
continuum of foci that designers use to start a prototype. The middle
represents the mixing of all three toward an integrated strategy.

Next, Vertelney defined five techniques shes noticed in the course of
her career that are used to involve users in the design process:

     1. Imagine the User - create scenarios; good for expanding
        design and usage possibilities.
     2. Observe the User - watch what they do versus what they say
        they do; good for finding out what's in their head.
     3. Converse with the User - photo survey, field study, focus
        groups; good for finding out what they think they want.
     4. Engage the User - interacting with prototypes; good for
        gathering useful information because users only react to
        what you bring them.
     5. Partner with the User - exercises, props; good for giving
        real-time validation.

The goal is to move from the first technique towards the fifth, because
with technique #5 you reduce the interpretation youre inserting in
place of the users actual desires.

Vertelney illustrated her movement toward technique #5 over her career
by describing a case history of the projects shes worked on. The first
was at Apple in 1988 and featured technique #1. The prototype exercise
also started near the Role axis of the triangle and iterated toward Look
and Feel.

A nine-month study involved getting together Apple employees
representing all facets of the business to come up with future visions
about what should come after the Mac. The participants brainstormed and
defined user scenarios for possible Apple products. Uses were spelled
out through storyboard interaction and technologists were brought on
board to help make prototypes. The study used a film model to
demonstrate the prototypes, where each was presented as if advertised on
a commercial.  The participants staged on-line demos, substituting video
to make the products seem real. Vertelney learned from this exercise
that low fidelity prototypes encouraged collaboration. People didn't
take them too seriously and so volunteered changes.

Vertelney's second example from 1989 illustrated a combination of
techniques #2 and #3. It involved a five-day Hypercard usability test
and field study at Renault in France. A small group of Apple employees
went into Renault auto repair shops to study how the employees worked.
This was after a design group had created an elaborate prototype of a
Hypercard-based maintenance system. On the prototype triangle, the
system was near the mid-point between the Implementation and Look and
Feel axes. In subsequent user testing of this system the team discovered
the designers had missed the central metaphor of the mechanics' present,
paper-based system - the job board.

>From this exercise, she learned that because the testing occurred late
in the process and the prototype was well developed, the technologists'
work was hard to critique and they were resistant to change. However,
the usability and field tests she conducted, that were neither long nor
comprehensive, still lead to immediate changes in the prototype.

The next example was a longer term development effort at Apple from '91
to '93 to create a note-taking system on a pen-based Mac. It was to be a
low-risk pen device compared to the all-new, high-risk technology of the
Newton. Thus, on the prototype triangle, the team started at the
Implementation axis with existing technology and moved inward. This
project used technique #4, with extensive user studies on the use of
computerized note-taking using iterative, integrated prototypes.

Vertelney was involved in the full product development cycle. Her team
took the prototype out of the labs, and worked with marketing to
implement and commercialize a usable product. For instance, paying
customers made user field testing possible. Even the manufacturing
process was prototyped as well. In this project, Apple relied on
usability studies to identify the benefit over existing technology (pen
and paper). These studies helped move an existing technology into new
applications.

The final two examples of Vertelney's projects illustrate technique #5,
that of designing in partnership with the user. Both recent projects
were through Interval Research Corp., whose mission is to research and
develop new breeds of technology products aimed at the consumer. The
first was in conjunction with a National Endowment  for the Arts grant
to set up an interactive exhibit  at the Exploratorium studying how
people use design in their lives for portability. The prototypes
involved in the exhibit fell between the Role and Look and Feel axes of
the triangle.

The exhibit team's work continued the work of an artist member whose
film, called the Nomadic Design Process, featured interviews of
disparate people on how they organize what they carry. Vertelney first
analyzed what made a successful Exploratorium exhibit through observing
and interacting with the patrons. Successful exhibits have the right mix
of things to do versus things to notice and discover. They must be
concrete versus abstract, and physical versus reflective. The successful
exhibits are electromechanical versus computer-based.

As they developed the stations in the exhibit, the team floor-tested all
the concepts and made adjustments to increase participation. They
combined a computer network, a relational database management system,
cameras and the physical structure to withstand an eight-year-old. Users
went through various stages to identify what they were carrying. The
exhibit, including audio-visual aids and PC-based software, guided them
through measuring the total weight and a complete categorization of the
possessions they were hauling around. They were even asked which objects
they thought they might soon misplace, no longer need, or always would
require.

The exhibit's stations used familiar metaphors like a closet with hooks
to get people to weigh their stuff. A portrait gallery with a matching
game connected people with their belongings. One doubt the team
disproved was that people would not lay their stuff out for inspection
in public. Vertelney learned about the great value in a fluid
interaction with users. She also learned the differences between
explanatory versus exploratory presentation, and that cerebral
activities provoke a need for isolation.

The final project Vertelney discussed was a project involving a series
of taped interviews about the role of reminiscence in home settings, and
so was at the Role axis of the prototype triangle. The project team
began by defining what they knew about reminiscence in the home, what
did they want to learn, and how the market could answer their questions.
Team representatives with a full film crew would show up at a subject's
house, who would then proceed to show their most valuable possessions.

The final project taught Vertelney the value of illustrating the target
experience before starting a design. The team prototyped just enough to
define what they needed to know, and kept research questions a priority.

She also realized that when you understand the role the prototype is
addressing first, the other two triangle axes become clearer. Such a
strategy validates your hypothesis before the first prototype is made.

8)  Birds of a Feather

Birds-of-a-feather (BOF) groups are a way for members of BayCHI with
Common interests to network with one another. A new BOF is starting up
this summer for usability professionals, BayCHI-Usability. If you would
like to help get it started, please contact Mary Van Riper:

     maryvr@practivity.com

There are currently two active BayCHI BOFs.  BayCHI-Kids is for
producers, designers, researchers, and practitioners who work with
children's media.  BayCHI-Web is for Web interface designers. Each of
these BOFs has about 90 members on their respective mailing lists. From
the main BOF web page, you can access information about our existing
BOFs and who to contact to join each of them. Plus, there is a calendar
of upcoming BOF Events. The BayCHI BOF home on the web can be found at:

     http://www.baychi.org/bof/

What does it take to start a new BOF?  All it takes is one person with
the desire to make it happen. Whatever your specific human-computer
interaction interests are, the BOF Coordinator can assist you in getting
the word out and setting up an initial meeting. If you need help in
starting a new BOF, please contact the BOF Coordinator, Michael Van
Riper:

After seeing the online newsletters for two chapters
(Atlanta and BayCHI), I think it would be a great
member benefit to have one of our own, just for members.
It could go out halfway between meetings to:
        buckchi-members@acm.org

The Chairs could include a section on chapter news.

The Secretary could include EC minutes.

The Program Chair could include some notes
about the previous and upcoming meetings.

The Librarian could include a note about
new acquisitiions.

The InfoDir could provide some notes on what's new
on the website.

I would be willing to supply a column or two per issue,
say on featured HCI Resources.

Others might have areas of special interest
to provide a feature "article" or two.

And so on.

With just a paragraph or two from each,
that would be 100-200 lines at least, and
we could have a benefit that would make
members feel like a community, and make
our other benefits more prominent.

I will NOT be the editor but could post it
and archive back issues on the website.

I hope it will not be called BuckCHI Bytes.
I once named the CO_HFS newsletter ErgOhio.
Maybe our newsletter could have a human-readable name.
BuckCHI Member News?

It's out of my hands now.

Subject: Re: making local sigs a more integral part of SIGCHI
Status: RO
X-Status: 
X-Keywords:                 
X-UID: 90

A few days ago, I wrote:
>Many thanks to those of you who provided your comments and questions about
>the various options I described for making local sigs a more integral part
>of SIGCHI.  The SIGCHI EC discussed the options and your feedback this past
>weekend, and we generated a proposal that I will present to you for more
>feedback very soon (I just need abit more time).

Here is the proposal:

  Creating an "Associate" level of SIGCHI membership
              that is equal to an enhanced CHI Local SIG membership
    (where "Associate" is simply a word pulled out of the air to
     represent a lower tier of SIGCHI membership than "Full"
     SIGCHI membership)

The benefits of Associate SIGCHI membership (i.e., of the enhanced CHI
Local SIG membership) would be:
  o whatever benefits the particular local sig offers;
  o access to the benefits of programs provided by SIGCHI for local
    sigs (e.g., CHI tutorial notes, tutorials-to-go, ...) that the
    particular local sig takes advantage of;
  o a "SIGCHI Bulletin"-like publication (which would probably primarily
    contain info specific to local sigs and SIGCHI);
  o the ability to register for the CHI conference (and other SIGCHI-
    sponsored conferences such as CSCW) at SIGCHI membership rates.

The benefits of all of this to the Local SIGs would be:
  o an enhancement of their benefits of membership (as captured in the
    last two bullets above);
  o some or all membership administration handled by ACM (membership
    administration poses difficulties for many local sigs, but local sigs
    could choose to maintain and administer a local sig membership
    independent of the Associate SIGCHI membership);
  o increased visibility;
  o continued access to programs provided by SIGCHI for local sigs (e.g.,
    CHI tutorial notes, tutorials-to-go, ... -- programs that would probably
    expand more readily with this connection of local sig membership to
    SIGCHI membership).

The benefits of all of this to SIGCHI would be:
  o increased membership;
  o increased visibility;
  o increased access to information about local HCI developments.

The benefits of all of this to ACM would be:
  o probable increase in membership;
  o increased visibility;
  o improved ability to track/count the people ACM is responsible for
    (e.g., via its liability insurance program which extends to
    chartered local sigs).

Local SIG membership rates would continue to be set by each local sig, with
the Associate SIGCHI membership rate equal to that membership rate set by
the particular local sig plus some to-be-determined fee.  (As stated above,
a local sig could choose to offer membership that is independent of
Associate SIGCHI membership; hence, people could opt for local sig
membership at a lower rate than the Associate SIGCHI membership.)  The
local SIG membership fee collected by ACM for the Associate level of SIGCHI
membership would be provided to the local sig somehow.

To qualify for this Associate SIGCHI membership, a local sig would: need to
be chartered; have to-be-determined reporting requirements (presently,
local sigs submit annual reports to ACM); need to maintain a
to-be-determined minimum number or percentage of Full SIGCHI members
(presently, local sigs are required to have a minimum of all of its
officers being SIGCHI members).

I think I've got all of the above correct.  Now, tell me what questions and
concerns you have; and tell me what you like about the above proposal.

Note that the idea of a local sig congress has been well-received by the
SIGCHI Executive Committee, and part of the funding I was able to obtain
for fiscal year 2000 is earmarked for starting to set up such a body.  Note
also that the idea of a Vice-Chair for Local SIGs (an elected position) has
also been well-received by the SIGCHI EC; such a position may be created
when SIGCHI changes from an ACM Special Interest Group to an ACM Society.
The mix of these two items with the above proposal offers what I think to
be a great way to make local sigs a more integral part of SIGCHI, which I
believe is very, very important.  But what do you think?  Are there holes?
Please share your views with the others on the task force (send your email
to all of the addressees of this email, and to me).  Then, I'll share this
(or a revised) proposal with the other local sig leaders via the
chi-local-sigs mailing list.

Richard

Gary,

This is the third notice I've received. Please note, I have paid
you. If you didn't receive the payment, please let me know.
Further, I've lent BuckCHI as much as $60 at a time - $30 of which is
still owed to me. If you have removed me and done all that you have
said below, please undo it now.

Dear Gary Perlman,

This was not an update for Michele Smeller.  However, she is my boss.

This is a request for membership from myself;  I'd like to be a member
of BuckCHI.  I learned about BuckCHI from Michele.  I signed in on your
website but I'm not sure what went wrong.  I also mailed you a check for
$10.

Please let me know what the situation is.

Thanks,

Michelle Fuhrman

Title
       Cooperative Problem-Solving in an Air Traffic Management System
       as an Example of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work
Speaker
       Philip J. Smith, Ohio State University Institute for Ergonomics
Date
       January 12, 1999 (7:00-8:30pm)
Site

Abstract
       This presentation will use the design of an Air Traffic
       Management System as a context for discussing human factors
       issues associated with the design of systems requiring
       distributed work.

       As a system involving distributed work, the traditional
       approach to the design of the air traffic management (ATM)
       system has relied heavily on decomposing the overall task into
       a number of subtasks and assigning these subtasks to different
       specialists (pilots, controllers, dispatchers, traffic
       managers, etc.). There also has been a certain amount of
       redundancy in terms of the responsibilities associated with
       these different roles. This distributed architecture has helped
       to reduce cognitive complexity for each individual while also
       providing a number of safety nets.

       A weakness of this approach, however, has been that such a task
       decomposition often assumed that these tasks could be completed
       independently, ignoring frequent, important interactions. The
       net result was a system that manifested a number of
       inefficiencies, and that sometimes resulted in unsafe
       situations.

       In response to these problems, a variety of alternative
       architectures have been proposed. Many of these architectures
       emphasize one (or both) of the following concepts:

      1. Applying the principle of least commitment (so that one group
         within the system, such as traffic managers, doesn't place
         unnecessary constraints on the solutions that can be
         considered by other groups, such as dispatchers or pilots).
         This principle has been applied in terms of shifting more of
         the locus of strategic control (preflight planning) from
         traffic managers to dispatchers, as well as shifting the
         timing of control (to tactical rather than strategic
         interventions);
      2. Designing procedures and tools to support more effective
         interactions among different groups of specialists to improve
         cooperative problem-solving.

       This talk will first introduce and illustrate certain key human
       factors concepts and design principles that need to be
       considered in designing the architecture of the future ATM
       system, and in developing tools to support this architecture.
       These concepts and principles will then be discussed in terms
       of potential generalizations relevant to computer-supported
       cooperative work.

            and go 1/2 mile east until you reach a traffic light. Take
            a right onto Arlington Centre, just after the Beneficial
            building.
     From the east:
            Go west on Henderson from 315. You will pass Kenny and
            then Reed Road. Arlington Centre Blvd will be on the left
            at the Beneficial building. (across from Blockbuster
            Video),
       The main entrance is about 100 yards down the street on your
       left. Park in the lot and head for the front door.

Hey.  Writing a paper check is so out-of-routine it's hard to get around to
it... if you could make it take credit cards I'd have been done long ago!
(And the email reminder was good - I've been carrying around the printed
form and an envelope since 12/18.)  So, at non-web speed, the check is in
the mail (if our carriers tomorrow make it through sleet and snow and dark
of night, as I must say they've been doing lately).

Thanks!
Beth

Hi,

I received this information last month, but I have not received your dues.
Were you planning on joining?  I hope so.

We had 27 attendees at last Tuesday technical
meeting. We have 9 people requesting more
information on BuckCHI (shown below).

Who is handling membership at this time? Who can
contact these folks to put them on the mailing list
for announcements or get them web page information?
I know Gary has been handling this to date. Gary do
you mind continuing?

OK..Gary says he is not handling new requests
for BuckCHI information. Jane and Russ, I'm giving
these to you. Here are the attendees from the last
two meetings who have requested more information
on BuckCHI.

I guess we could just send them a hello note and the
web address.

I am willing to serve again as treasurer.

I suggest merging the secretary and treasurer roles.
Being secretary/treasurer would not be much more work
than just being treasurer, and it would mean one less
person to recruit.

It might be a good idea to make the program chair
an elected officer.

These would require changes to our bylaws,
and these changes would have to be ratified by
a quorum of our members and then approved by the
local activities board of the ACM, so perhaps they
should be considered after the election.

While on the suggestion soapbox... Member dues!

I again suggest creating a dues structure like this:
        $5      full-time students
        $10 on-time renewing regular members
        $15     new and late-renewing members
It takes a lot of time to follow up on non-renewing members,
and no-one seems willing to work as membership chair.
When I sent out the messages about renewal and expirations
we had used last year, I was asked to stop until some new
procedure was worked out.  That was three months ago.

Alternatively, it could be $5, $5, and $10,
so on-time renewal would include a $5 discount.

Finally, it could be $0, $0, $0 since we offer
no valued benefits to members (workshop discounts, newsletter).
If the trend continues, we can support BuckCHI on royalities
from Amazon.com.  The first three quarters:
         94.20
        111.76
        116.50 (2-3 more weeks in this quarter)
indicate that we might expect more income from Amazon than members.
If we had any tangible benefits to offer, we could offer them to
SIGCHI or ACM members.

It might be a bad idea to have no membership fee.
Without any member contribution, "members" may not
feel like the organization is worthwhile.  But that
may be a far reach of some flimsy psycho-babble.

I think that I would favor: $0, $5, $10,
so it looks like a reduction (which it is,
especially for students, of which we have only two,
one of whom volunteers a lot of her time).

To heighten our image, I propose we promote BuckCHI beanie babies,
a beany baby of the BuckCHI mascot.  We'd want it to be something
that best represents user friendly, so I think a plush bunny
would be ideal.  I'd rule out a buck, because of those unfriendly
antlers.  Maybe a skunk could be a beanie baddie!  But bunny,
kitten (they can bite, so maybe not), or Star Trek tribble (neutered
of course!), the important thing is that it be cute and cuddly and
FRIENDLY!!!  We would need a name.  It's got to be Bucky!  It could
live in a geodesic dome based on Buckminster Fuller (nicknamed Bucky).

We would have to rush to get them ready in time for CHI 99!

We must do this!!!

I hope some of you are considering doing what Joe is doing for GatewayCHI
-- creating and issuing a press release about your local sig.

At CHI 97, local sig leaders who attended the Local SIGs workshop generated
a long list of ways to "reach out to and be reached by" people who don't
know of your local sig (see the April 98 Local SIGs column in SIGCHI
Bulletin for this list).  Missing from the list is a press release, which
sounds like a very good idea to me.

So, I hope you give it some thought.

Richard

Gary, Lorraine and David,

I have been waiting to hear back from a few
people before making an announcement for
next week's meeting. Keith Instone could
not make it so I'll be his replacement on
the panel.

I want to title the meeeting "State of the
Web Address" with the purpose of
sharing what working, not working
and what the future for interaction is on the
web. I want you to share you insights and
examples of good design, bad design,
guidelines, etc. What else do you think we
could cover? Each of you should plan about
15-20 minutes and then we'll take open
questions and input from the attendees.
The meeting will be held at Compuserve
off Henderson at 7:00. We should have full
internet access so bring lots of example URLs.

Basically, everyone of you on the panel has
a different sort of expertise in the area of
web-based interaction design. I'd like to
take advantage of that and have everyone
focus at least a little on that area.

Gary: you are an expert at information
database, search, retrieval and layout. So maybe
you can cover that area and general perceptions
about the web.

Lorraine, you mentioned building applications
for the web so maybe you can cover what
hard about that and how to over come issues
when you only have a  single window to work
from etc.

David, you mentioned doing alot of work with
multi-media and design of the web. Can you
cover interaction issues associated with this
areas such as effective and practical use of
multi-media, using a 30 fps video when a gif
will do, splash screen misuse, etc. And anything
else you can share on general interaction design
for the web.

I will try to cover more on ecommerce on the
web, general navigation etc.

How does this sound to everyone? I'll post an
general announcement tomorrow as soon as I hear a
confirmation from everyone.

Chris

I formally move that we change our dues structure,
effective on approval, to the following:
        Regular members: $10 / year
        Student members: free for full-time students

COSTS:

Given that we have just two student members,
the expected loss of income is minimal.
The chapter has adequate funds on hand
(with tomorrow's deposit of dues (2) and
royalties from Amazon.com, the chapter will
have $1423.83).

The main obstacle for student members would
be filling the (admittedly improvable) membership
form.  I have a vision of many students filling
in their interests and "meeting" other students
(and even employers) with similar interests.

RATIONALE:

My main motivation for pushing this (again) now,
is to increase the student participation in the
chapter, which has dropped down to just two members,
one of whom serves as our student advisor.
It would be nice to be able to include this change
of dues on any handouts for the CHI 99 conference.

VOTING:

For this to pass, someone must second it and
then the electronic "floor" is open for discussion.
After discussion, we will have a vote, assuming that
it proceeds in that direction.

Dues are set by the BuckCHI EC:
        http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/bylaws.html#XI
which consists of the elected officers:
        Chair: Jane Henderson and Russ Branaghan
        Treasurer: Gary Perlman
        Secretary: Heather Unwin
        Past Chair: Gary Perlman
chairs of standing committees:
        Program: Chris Rockwell
        Membership: None
        Online Communication: Gary Perlman
        Publicity: Joe Cole
and one student member:
        Emily Patterson
As I have harped on for years, because our bylaws allow the Chair(s)
to set up any number of standing committees at any time,
they can control any vote, if they so choose.
Assuming that the following have some sort of vote:

        Jane Henderson
        Russ Branaghan
        Gary Perlman
        Heather Unwin
        Chris Rockwell
        Joe Cole
        Emily Patterson

Jane and Russ can decide how to weight the votes.

I propose that we close discussion on vote by Friday, May 7.
Votes would ordinarily be recorded by the Secretary,
but perhaps we should just post them to BuckCHI-officers
and I will save the messages and present the results.

Hi everyone,

I second Gary's motion. Seems like a no-brainer
to me.

Gary,

My only question is... do we have reason to believe that our student
membership has dropped off because of the dues?  I think it's fine to lose
the revenue.  We obviously don't need it.  But I wonder is there is a
psychological advantage to having people put down money... a sense of
committment and (excuse me for using the word) ownership in the
organization.  

Having said that, I'm happy to vote for a change in dues if we think that
would make a difference.  But I feel like we've changed the dues structure
several times in the recent past, I wonder if there is some danger in
changing it too often, and I'd like to get some feedback indicating that
this change would make a difference.

What's the general consensus on this issue?  Emily, do you have any
insights as to why we aren't getting student members?

Jane

The social psychologist in me sees merit in the issue of payment as in
indication of commitment.  I don't think it's the money that keeps students
out of BuckCHI. Beer costs a lot more.I think it is more related to the lack
of faculty involvement.  So where are the academics?  But it's not a cash
flow issue.  So do it if you want but I don't think it's the answer to
bringing in students.

All, 

My two cents is that the money is not a big deal - I don't see any need to change them (but it's also not a big deal if we do).  I think that "ownership" is important too, whether from $ or feeling part of the group somehow.  I think that of the students that I talk to, we have a reasonable attendance on things that they consider important to them for some reason.  There are just so many seminars, etc., associated with school as it is that driving and going to something in addition needs to be for something that is considered particularly valuable.  We don't attend very many seminars that in our building during the day!  (there's almost a seminar a day on something or other)

As far as getting other types of students, psychology, computer science, industrial design, etc., I think that it's a matter of knowing them personally.  Since I don't, the e-mail postings that I made to students in that area didn't generate interest.  

-Emily

Having said that, I'm happy to vote for a change in dues if we think that
would make a difference.  But I feel like we've changed the dues structure
several times in the recent past, I wonder if there is some danger in
changing it too often, and I'd like to get some feedback indicating that
this change would make a difference.

What's the general consensus on this issue?  Emily, do you have any
insights as to why we aren't getting student members?

I'm quite willing to go with the elimination of dues for full-time students.
In addition, I'm willing to commit to working with others on a program to
recruit faculty involvement in the June/July timeframe.

OK, the proposal has been put forth by Gary and seconded by Chris:

I formally move that we change our dues structure, effective on approval,
to the following:
         Regular members: $10 / year
         Student members: free for full-time students

Voting members of the executive council are:

        Jane Henderson
        Russ Branaghan
        Gary Perlman
        Heather Unwin
        Chris Rockwell
        Joe Cole
        Emily Patterson

I gather that we have YES votes back from Gary, Chris, and Emily.  I could
add mine and make it a done deal.  But I would like to hear back from Russ,
Heather, and Joe.  Russ, Heather, and Joe... what do you say?

Jane

Jane,

I have already seconded this. I think everyone's
suggestions for getting greater student ownership
and involvement are good ones. I don't think $5
contributes greatly to a sense of ownership.
Responsibility or inclusion via involvement may
be better ways to establish ownership.

I suggest we let Lorraine head up an action
committee in this area as she has volunteered
to do so. As for the dues issue on the floor,
let's vote.

I vote for changing the dues to encourage
free and full involvement by any student
wishing to be associated with BuckCHI.
Money or effort to "sign up" should not be
an issue. Let's have them spend the effort
on attending. Lorraine can provide additional
suggestions from the resuts of her action committee.

Chris

Enough votes have come in to declare that Gary's motion passes.

The dues structure will be changed.  Regular memberships are still $10.00.
Student memberships are now free.

Emily, tell your friends.

Jane

P.S.  Gary, Lorraine and I did wonder why she (as chapter archivist) did
not get a vote.  Could we make that a committee-chair-equivalent position?
Or would we have to change the by-laws to make the chapter archivist a
voting member of the executive council?

Hmm, it is only 10 bucks, but I have not been to a meeting in quite a 
while and am a paying member of another local chapter.

If I ever get the chance to attend a BuckCHI meeting, I will join up again.

I do not mind being on the BuckCHI list, since that gets filtered and 
I can ignore it if I want to. But I won't miss it if I am removed 
either. I do like keeping up on BuckCHI news to report back to MOCHI 
officers, tho. So serving as a MOCHI liaison would be one possible 
role, assuming I would remember to report to BuckCHI as I hear about 
MOCHI news.

Keith

Hi Duane,

Pardon my memory lapse, but I have no record of
you ever becoming BuckCHI a member.

If I am correct, then you can fill in the form at:
	http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/member.cgi
and send dues to our address on that form.

Gary

Gary,

I noticed when I got home last night that you'd already sent a few things to
Georgia's address (clarity@columbus.rr.com), which I suspect were messages
about membership and entering information.  I've forwarded your note to her
as well.

How do I go about editing the information about me and making it public?  I
seem to recall that I filled out the form last year while under the
influence of magic markers and cookies and included interests such as
"music, nature, pets" while later seeing that others included their
interests as "semiotic heuristic analysis of transitive cognitive
processes."  

About using the meeting room here at the Northwest Library, it is booked for
the second Tuesdays of June and August, but July is still open.  I can check
on June and August at the Old Worthington Library (High & 161) if you'd
like.  (We book only 3 months in advance except for library events, such as
computer training.)

I'd like to get together for lunch sometime, see what you have to say
usability and libraries, and perhaps take a couple of mugs off your hands.
I'll take a look at upcoming schedules and get back to you.

Steve

Thanks for renewing Steve.
I had you down as joining April 11, 2000, so you were due.

If Georgia could fill out the form at:
	http://www.acm.org/chapters/buckchi/member.cgi
I copied your home information and left the work information
blank, so it might be easier if you could send me an email address.
She might want to list her skills and interests and make
the basic informaiton public (yours is not) for possible
job prospects.

If you would like to get toegther for lunch some time,
I'd be happy to discuss usability testing and reference.
My phone is 761-5058.

Gary

Dear Gary,

I handed you $10 at the last meeting I attended which was on 12/12/2000 with
Eric Schuh at CompuServe/AOL.  That is how I obtained that 'malformed' mug.
But I do not recall completing the membership form, which I will do now.

Thanks,
Duane

I filled out a membership form online and sent my check for dues.  The check
has yet to be cashed.  Is there someone who can confirm receipt of my check?

Thanks,

Fast and Secure Online Payments with PayPal 

Now that you have joined our community of over 9 million PayPal
users, we'd like to describe some of the features and services that
will enhance your PayPal experience. Think of your PayPal account as
a tool for moving money quickly and securely across the Internet.
Your account gives you the power to: 

* Purchase an item you won on eBay(TM) 
* Send a cash gift to a friend, even if they don't have a PayPal
account 
* Pay for goods at over 18,000 online stores that accept PayPal 

PayPal also gives you the versatility to pay for your online
purchases in multiple ways; members can pay using a bank account,
credit card, or with money in their PayPal account. 

AUCTION PURCHASES

Did you know that PayPal is the best way to pay for auctions on
eBay(TM)? Currently accepted by the majority of all sellers and
featured on over 3 million eBay listings, PayPal provides many
benefits to auction buyers: 

* Payments arrive quickly, allowing sellers to ship goods faster 
* Personal financial information is never displayed to seller 
* Sending money is FREE 
 
PAYPAL SHOPS 

Back-to-school season has officially begun. Visit PayPal Shops for a
list of merchants who sell school supplies, learning aids,
textbooks, and clothes. PayPal Shops is your gateway to almost
20,000 online stores that accept PayPal! Simply login to your
account and hit the "Shop" tab to begin. Happy shopping! 

When you make auction and website purchases using your PayPal
account, you're taking advantage of the safest way of sending money
through the Web. PayPal's strong security and privacy policy mean
that your information stays safe. 

PayPal is committed to giving you the best payment tools possible.
Thank you for helping to make PayPal the #1 online payment service! 

Sincerely, 

The PayPal Team
