On January 22 the steering committee met to discuss bylaws for establishing
"BuckCHI," the Central Ohio Special Interest Group on Computer-Human
Interaction of the Association for Computing Machinery (!). The bylaws were
based on existing models within SIGCHI, and were first reviewed during the
last meeting. The members considered suggestions for revisions received
online from Gary Perlman and discussed related issues. Some changes will be
incorporated into the next version. The resulting revisions to the bylaws
were forwarded to Craig Oshima for modification and distribution to
members.
Kevin reported that he has compiled a preliminary list of potential members
(over 250) and will circulate this online for additions and editing by
steering committee members. It was suggested that officers of the local ACM
chapter be contacted and anyone having that information should forward it
to Susan Roth.
The meeting also addressed possible topics for BuckCHI meetings, referring
to a list organized and produced by David Ranson. The list was then
prioritized based on perceived importance, value to members, contributing
personnel, and the potential for attracting a large audience. It will be
modified by David Ranson, recirculated, and eventually included in the
initial communication with potential members in order to assess programming
preferences and interests.
The committee agreed to meet again in two weeks, with the date to be
determined after contact with all members.
