STANDING - Next Symposium Topic

SH: handled by Mark and Gerardo but not seeing regrets from them
... assuming going ahead but have not received the call for paper

SAZ: said would have something by this week?

SH: yes, but no updates since

STANDING - Next Catalogue Topic

SH: another catalog item?

VC: did not do much on user testing and involvement

SH: no

VC: would be interested to do it in a while after I complete my PhD

SH: you were also considering a symposium?

VC: maybe around May
... think it is an important topic

<sloandr> yes

KM: two catalog items in the pipeline from our side

<sloandr> More in-depth discussion of user testing in a symposium could lead on nicely from Tips for Accessibility Aware research discussion, and article publication?

KM: virtual reality and augmented reality

DS: Tips for Accessibility Aware Research could nicely lead into a symposium more specifically on involving users
... probably need a broader discussion

http://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/users

http://www.w3.org/WAI/users/involving

SAZ: think not always easy to distinguish between involving users in *testing* versus involving users in general
... could also talk about involving users in evaluation as part of the accreditation symposium

VC: for sure
... could approach from different angles
... but could also relate to many different things

SH: makes sense to look at the scope more closely
... but probably your PhD has priority now :)
