Agenda
- New Patterns? ([Titled Sections draft])
- WG Proposal - Chairperson
- Note taker > facilitator rotation
- U-Camp planning
Notes
- Reviewed Titled Sections pattern. Some discussion around CSS styles in Sakai and how much flexibility designers have in styling their section titles.
- Chairperson: Tim will be chair of this group. (We will table discussion of WG Proposal until next week.)
- Note taker & facilitator rotation: we will do it so that one week's notetaker is always the following week's facilitator. (So, since Judy is taking notes this week, she'll facilitate next week. Kathy will take notes next week and faciliate the following, and so on.)
- U-Camp planning: Daphne & Colin & Mara talking with Aaron Z. about what do about Programmer's Cafe & UCamp being at same time. They're hoping to schedule a session for a combined audience, a couple of hours out of Cafe & UCamp. We want to focus more on ways to bridge the gap between the two groups. Colin thinks they'll respond well to methods for cheaply and easily testing designs, as well as tips for visual layout and composition. Kathy suggested trying to push importance of scenarios and use cases ("tell me a story about why they would want to do that"); she recommends Tidwell's section on visual design. Daphne suggests developing a checklist for developers. Kathy is concerned about how we convey that what gets presented to users shouldn't necessarily match what is "logical". And Daphne hopes to convey the concept that you can't build everything into a single tool, that it doesn't serve anyone. Daphne suggests seeing if we can extract and present stuff from "Inmates". Whatever we do, we want to build relationships.
Action Item: Everybody come up with one idea for UCamp and send out by next week
Note taker rotation: Colin, Daphne, Judy, Kathy, Kristol, Marc, Tim
