Can you write useful and usable recommendations?

Apologies for cross-posting. Deadline 13 March.


RECOMMENDATIONS ON RECOMMENDATIONS - Win a panel seat

Here's a unique chance to demonstrate your usability skills to the rest of
the world:

The interactive session "Recommendations on Recommendations" is part of the
CHI 2007 conference in San Jose, CA, 28 April - 3 May 2007. The session will
discuss the quality of recommendations for improving a user interface
resulting from a usability evaluation.

We want to ensure that demonstrated practical skills in creating good
recommendations are strongly represented in this interactive session. We
therefore have 2-3 panel seats open for people with demonstrated abilities
in writing useful and usable recommendations. We will fill these seats
through a pre-conference contest. Our call for participation describes what
you should do to qualify for a seat.

We will invite 2-3 authors of the submissions containing the most useful and
usable recommendations to participate actively in the session. These authors
will be seated on the podium together with three of the organizers and
judges.

Even if you don't win a panel seat, participation in this contest should
give you a good idea of how good you are at writing good recommendations and
how you can improve.

The contest is open to anyone who plans to attend CHI2007.
