UPDATE - NO uCAMP planned for this year

Due to the need to shift the focus of the Fluid Project onto component design in the coming year, Fluid will not be organizing a uCamp this year. If there are others who are interested in organizing it, please feel free to ask for our assistance by emailing the fluid-work@fluidproject.org mailing list.

There will be User Experience related presentations at the conference to see, such as Allison Bloodworth's "Using Personas to Create User-centered Designs" and Daphne Ogle and Judy Stern's "What are Sakai Users Up To?"

 UCamp Theme

Time is fast approaching for the Paris Sakai UCamp! We need to start planning what talks and design projects we want to include. We need a list of suggestions for talks and also, any design projects, the design team will need to prepare ahead of time so we need to select something. Check email lists for further discussion. Have some ideas about how best we can take advantage of these times?  Please add them here.

U-Camp Goals

We see the U-Camp as an opportunity to share best practices for design, show developers and others how to add usability to their designs and to leverage the face to face time to best advantage.

• UCamp is a "camp" so it should be interactive, educational and fun (think summer camp with a UCD focus).
