Call for Participation: Organizational Meeting
Table of Contents
There were 39 "interested" people who responded, of which
14 "volunteers" were willing to put in some time, of which
4 potential officers identified themselves. Not bad!
Additionally, there are 13 SIGCHI members who have not yet responded
because they were not contacted via postal mail for the initial RFP.
There appears to be plenty of interest in a local chapter,
a so we should proceed to the next step, which is to have a meeting.
At the meeting, I propose that we review the requirements for
forming a local ACM SIG Chapter, decide who might do various tasks,
and help them do them. I can make much of the information available
on the WWW, via email to people who do not have WWW access, or even via
paper for people who do not have access to email.
The hard part is to schedule a meeting, so to take the pain out
of the process of scheduling, I propose that we plan for two meetings.
That way, the maximum number of people can attend.
It is easy for me to schedule rooms at OSU, but you have to pay for parking.
It might be more convenient to meet at a different place.
For each of the following dates, rate the choices with the scale:
1 2 3 4 5
ideal okay fair bad impossible
NOTE: These are not times for chapter meetings. They are times for people
who want to be involved in the _organization_ of the local chapter.
If you do not want to volunteer, please sit back and relax for now.
I will choose two dates that minimize the number of people
who can't attend while maximizing the convenience of the dates.
If anyone knows of conflicts with what should be cooperating
associations, please let me know so I can schedule around those dates.

(there will be a talk at OSU by Kevin Mullet from Macromedia on 11/27,
at 4:30, so we could have an HCI marathon, perhaps meeting over dinner)
