We're trying to set up an informal group for people working within the
Usability field within London.
The aim of the group is for people to be able to meet other people working
within the same field in an informal environment, to share ideas, contacts,
information and of course, a drink or two. A virtual group has also been
set up on the egroups site (http://www.egroups.com/group/london_usability) -
to manage messages and details of meetings.
We have set up an initial meeting for Wednesday 8th November - venue in
central London, to be confirmed dependent upon the numbers of people that
are likely to turn up.
However, we have set an initial outline for the evening:
6.30 - 7pm Flexible arrival time, drinks.
7 - 7.30pm Brief session on Usability and Interactive TV to be led by
Ian Pardoe, Head of the HCI Group at ntl
7.30 - 8pm Brief session on whether or not there is a need for a
'London Usability Group' - and if so, what should it be like
8pm - onwards Networking, food, drinks...
For the first meeting, we thought it would be more interesting to include a
brief presentation, rather than just have a meeting in which we all turn up
and sit around. I have been to several other meetings where this format has
been used very successfully to make the evening both informative and
enjoyable.
If you are interested in coming along to the session on Nov 8th, please
could you let me know by e-mail ([log in to unmask]) so we can have an
approximate idea of the number of people that are likely to turn up.
Even if you are unable to come along, please do join the london_usability
egroup - either visit the egroups website at
http://www.egroups.com/group/london_usability
or send an e-mail to

and let us know what you think.
Finally, if you know anyone else who might be interested in this, please do
forward this e-mail on to them.
