Separate registration required.} The First Annual ASIST Social Computing Summit will bring together researchers and practitioners of social computing for two days of discussion and exploration in Miami, Florida. The event will directly precede the 2008 Information Architecture Summit, providing attendees a complimentary opportunity to learn about and discuss emergent areas of social computing and software. The Social Computing Summit will feature keynote addresses from Dr. Nancy Baym, Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Kansas, and Thomas Vander Wal, principal consultant at InfoCloud Solutions. Social software and computing drives Web 2.0 technology, enabling global connections and providing rich social experiences. Social networking services challenge established notions of privacy, identity and relationship management. Beyond the browser, mobile devices promise new forms of ubiquitous connectivity and presence, offering unprecedented research and business opportunities. To understand the successful applications of tomorrow, we come together today to share research and insight. This summit aims to bring together thought leaders, developers, and scholars working in this rapidly changing area, facilitating the conversations required for tomorrow?s innovations. Complementing the keynote addresses will be panels exploring the following topical areas: Social networking services, data portability/open social networks, mobile services, social computing and politics, global voices, social computing and the enterprise, and youth social computing. The summit will feature interactive sessions, as well as a poster session for sharing information about services and recent research. In bringing together a blend of experts from different disciplines, as well as enabling conversation, the ASIST Social Computing Summit offers something for everyone interested in this fascinating, fast-changing space.

Since the annual meeting is in late Fall, there is really not much time to plan a SIG program by January, due to holidays, etc. In the case of the SIG MED group, we had discussed a few topics for co-sponsorship with the SIG-CR rep (the chair was ill) at the SIG planning in Milwaukee. However, we had no way to contact that group since the chair was apparently still ill. Please consider moving the deadline for SIG panels to the end of February. Although I am an officer of SIG MED, this opinion is mine and does not reflect the thinking of the group. I am routing this to SIG-MED for their consideration of posters or short papers by Feb 29.
