Our paper entitled “Creating Shared Experiences and Cultural Engagement through Location-Based Play” was accepted for the Games and CSCW Workshop at ECSCW 2005 in late September. It is based on our digital dragon boat race case study. Yay!!!!
It is cool that I will get a chance to meet a fellow Canadian blogger I have been following named Sylvie Noël. She will also be in my workshop. She commented on 5 minutes not being alot of time of time for a presentation so I was thinking of ditching the powerpoint presentation and doing a skit. It would be more fun.
I will be a student volunteer so it should be fun to meet other students with CSCW interests. If you are there, come up and say hello.
In an earlier post, Sylvie spoke about blogging at CSCW 2006. I am definitely going to try to blog at ECSCW depending on the network availability. It will be from a student volunteer perspective as I won’t be able to attend on the paper presentations. It may be useful to organise at meetup there with other bloggers.
[update] Relevance: The conference will give me an opportunity to seek out potential PhD advisors in UK/Europe for 2006.
