Hi,
The CHI 2002 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems has for the
first time an interactive online Web site.
http://www.chiplace.org/
The site (CHIplace) is intended to let people interested or working in CHI
to influence, to comment on proposals for, and to preview offerings for
the venues occurring at CHI 2002 (e.g., tutorial topics). You can check
out the goals page for more detail:
http://chiplace.org/info/goals.jsp
The current site has a number of features that we would like to highlight.
It will evolve through input of its members
First, John Thomas (CHI'91 Co-Chair and member of IBM Research) is the
Editor/Story-writer-in-Chief for the CHI Retrospective section. He is
spearheading the use of stories and has seeded the section with a
collection of stories about CHI.

Second, the site provides information about CHI, its organizers, and
CHIplace participants. You can check out the people page with a random
collection of people's pictures to get one flavor of the site's offerings.

Third, several forums have been started on CHIplace to solicit suggestions,
feedback, CHI experiences, and discussions among CHIplace participants.
In particular, we started one entitled International Corner to invite our
international members to post their views on international issues at CHI,
propose issues to be addressed and make suggestions on how to make CHI
2002 more international and actions that could be taken to allow more
people from outside North America to participate.

improvements.
