next few meetings

October 4, 2008 by judithg · 4 Comments

We are going to be able to use Manchester Digital/MDDA offices on Portland Street for our next meetings. -  Thanks for sorting venues Paul.

 

I’ve set up a poll on Doodle to see what dates are the best for everyone, we are still looking at meeting every month. http://www.doodle.ch/participation.html?pollId=b4ss63xhtx24m8iw

 

We’ve also had offers to talk on a range of interesting topics so we can set up an agenda for the next six months or so.

 

Thanks

 

Judith

    All,
    Lots of people have completed the Doodle poll.

    The most popular dates for the next three months are October 28th, November 18th and December 16th. Can you confirm those dates with Manchester Digital Agency Paul?

    Just to recap some people have volunteered to talk if people can commit to any of those three dates that would be great or if anyone else wants to volunteer. The November date is nearest to World Usability day so if anyone can talk on a transport theme then that would be great.

    Mike Unwalla – Controlled Language
    Tero Vaananen– Card sorting and possibly mobile devices (In the new year)
    Rachel Johnston – Open Source Software
    Nick Rosenthal - internationalisation / localisation issues of usability.
    Peter Bagnall - designing for older people, concept public transport system
    Nick Day User experience in CMS systems

    If you have not attended a meeting before here’s some more information about the group http://northern-user-experience.org/about/.

    Thanks

    I’d be happy to lead a conversation on how to make public transport more desirable. The question I’m trying to answer is why people are so attached to their cars, and how we might make people feel that way about public transport. I have a few ideas which could kick off some debate.

    oh, I meant to say as part of the November transport themed meeting!

    I like that idea Pete, good idea to do some public transport requirements gathering specially with the Manchester ring road proposal.
