Throughout all of this, what's most disconcerting is that a few people
who represent the early interests of these different communities
continue to operate as the primary voices of leadership, though their
perspectives are not shared by the broader communities they claim to
represent (at least, not in my conversations with folks). Instead,
their perspectives are informed by selfish motivations derived by the
sense of identity they receive from their legacies.
With respect to IxDA and IAI (and it's worth noting, I was president
of IAI for two years, from 2005-2007), the membership has far more in
common than in difference. Feet on the ground, you see the same
individuals facilitating the IDEA 2009 and Interaction10 conferences,
and you realize the commentary of supposed leaders is worth little
more than the hot air their issuing forth.
Thankfully, the membership demonstrates far more sense than the
leadership.
