Carissimi/e,

dato che queste mail rivolte a tutti i membri SIGCHI non sembrano arrivare proprio a tutti, mi permetto di inoltrare quella che ho appena inviato a proposito del 40esimo anniversario di SIGCHI e delle iniziative che si vogliono portare avanti per il futuro dell’organizzazione. 

Credo che soprattutto il secondo punto della mail possa essere interessante per i più giovani della comunità italiana!

Rimango a disposizione in caso di curiosità o domande.

A presto e buona Pasqua!

Luigi

Dear SIGCHI members,

We would like to share some upcoming events and updates in celebration of SIGCHI’s 40th anniversary!

1. Open Session: Imagining SIGCHI Futures
SIGCHI is turning 40 this year! This milestone gives us an opportunity to not only celebrate and reflect on how far HCI has come as a field but also imagine potential future trajectories. In this online open session, we will take stock of SIGCHI’s past and present and envision how it might evolve over the next few decades along the dimensions the community cares about most, such as infrastructures for mentorship, sustainability, accessibility, among others. This will be a precursor to our SIGCHI Turns 40 SIG at CHI 2022, where we will continue to develop aspirations and, importantly, concrete avenues towards a thriving SIGCHI community.

Friday, April 22 @12pm UTC (in your time zone) Zoom 

Monday, April 25 @11:59pm UTC (in your time zone) Zoom


2. Futuring SIGCHI Committee
To sustain discussions around SIGCHI’s 40th, the open session and the SIG will inform the workings of the new Futuring SIGCHI Committee. This committee aims to be a sandbox for (those who self-identify as) early-career professionals to create creative, well-motivated, public-facing pilot projects that help address community challenges and set SIGCHI up for better, stronger futures. Members will be able to iterate on and expand successful pilots to eventually integrate them into SIGCHI structures and long-term practices. You can read more about the committee on our Medium blog post.

If you are interested in joining the Futuring SIGCHI Committee, let us know by completing the open call on our Submittable form. 
Feel free to reach out to sigchi-4all@acm.org if you have any questions or suggestions!

All the best,

Luigi De Russis (Adjunct Chair for SIGCHI Community Support)
Naveena Karusala (Chair, Futuring SIGCHI Committee)
On behalf of the SIGCHI Executive Committee
