I like the idea of local IxDA competitions, as long as we can provide a healthy way to execute them. For example, we wouldn't want community members to get a "rockstars only" vibe and avoid competing altogether. If we want to set it up as a skill-honing event, it needs to be open and inclusive-- perhaps a "rockstar" or two could serve as judges... Can someone step up and help own this one? I'd be willing to provide help in establishing a global framework and making sure it's effective.
IxDA doesn't have a Board member dedicated to the press right now. Our president, Janna DeVylder, is the main contact person if someone from the press wants a comment. Definitely something for us to get serious about as our projects become more interesting to the press. There's a lot of cool stuff in the pipeline ... And I should also be clear that the UX Challenge is not affiliatetd with IxDA. Don't want to steal any thunder :-). - Nasir ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
