Since Boston has just gotten started, I've definitely looked to the other local leaders for help and insight and input - and they've graciously responded with support and tips. I've reached out to them on a number of occasions and hope to someday return the favor as others get off the ground, and as the "older" ones continue to move forward. I agree that we're locale-focused, but I'm of the belief that we (we=Boston) can't possibly keep up the pace of thinking up new ideas every month without getting ideas from other local groups and members. Like this whole Pecha Kucha thing (or whatever it is). What is it and how is it run? I keep seeing it, but I have no idea what it is. If there was a "Local" (Wiki or Resources or...) on the site, I could check it out, read up on it and see if we could adapt it for Boston instead of trying to piece it together. I would also share back things that we did and what worked for us. Or ideas we have for future events, but haven't quite worked out the details and want to open it up for input and for others to take and run with. Not to mention posting pictures of our events. Like where can I find the pix of the NYC IxDA event I attended last month? ;-) In addition, I think it's important to have a global IxDA calendar that lists all local events. The local chairs would be responsible for posting their own events and anyone could go there and see what was happening locally to them while seeing just how much cool IxDA stuff is happening 'round the globe. And so on and so on... for now, we are using the tools we have at our disposal for local coordination - like Pauric said, Google Groups. I look forward to the IxDA site owning our content instead of Google. :-) ~Lisa ________________________________________________________________ *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)!
