The fifth FLOSS Usability Sprint will be held on November 2-4, 2007 at Google <http://www.google.com/> in Mountain View, California. At the sprint, open source developers, usability practitioners, project managers, and users will gather to discuss methodologies for improving the usability of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) and to apply those processes towards specific projects. The goal is two-fold: To improve the usability of the participating projects, and to catalyze<http://www.flossusability.org/wiki.pl?TheBigPicture>greater shared understanding and ongoing collaboration between the usability and open source communities. This will be our fifth sprint, after throwing successful sprints in February<http://www.flossusability.org/200502/index.html>and August <http://www.flossusability.org/200508/index.html> 2005, October 2006<http://www.flossusability.org/200610/index.html>, and March 2007 <http://www.flossusability.org/200703/index.html>. This upcoming sprint will have the added bonus of being the first organized by the community itself! As always, our focus will be on working with a fantastic set of free (libre) / open source (FLOSS) software projects, focusing especially on users from nonprofit organizations. This year, we'll also spend some time organizing our first remote usability sprint. <http://www.flossusability.org/#nid13> If you are a usability practitioner, FLOSS developer, or user and are interested in participating, please fill out our application<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizations/Aspiration/event/index.jsp?event_KEY=31473&t=aspiration.dwt>at http://www.flossusability.org/ ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
