[Sigcr-l] SIG/CR Workshop 2010 - Theme Ideas

[Megan Winget]

Hello All:

In preparation for the upcoming annual meeting, Diane and I wanted to  
briefly resurrect the discussion from May regarding the 2010 Workshop.  
We've scheduled half an hour at the end of the 2009 Vancouver Workshop  
to discuss themes for next year, and we'll also discuss the workshop  
theme at our official SIG meeting on Sunday (in Vancouver).

In preparation for all that discussion, could those of you with  
specific suggestions for next year's workshop themes please email  
Megan privately with the proposal topic, and a very brief (200 word)  
abstract clarifying the theme? Please get those suggestions in by  
Thursday October 29, and Megan will send out an email on October 30  
with a review of all the suggestions that have been received, so the  
whole SIG will know what's been submitted. Megan's email = megan at ischool.utexas.edu

In asking for private emails, we're not trying to stifle discussion,  
but to be respectful of this year's workshop organizers. We would just  
feel funny discussing next year's workshop theme before this year's  
workshop has happened; at the same time, we believe the discussion  
we've scheduled at the 2009 workshop will be more productive if we  
have some ideas going into it. If anyone feels our concern is  
misplaced, feel free to post suggestions to the list, and they'll be  
collected from there.

Thanks,

Diane Neal and Megan Winget
