Responses to the session: Placemaking and information architecture
Placemaking is the process of creating squares, plazas, parks, streets, and waterfronts that will attract people because they are pleasurable or interesting. This past year I took an intensive workshop in how to do placemaking, how to study how pe...... [session page]

Rebekah Bengtson posted Photo of Conference Roooms
Does anyone have a picture of the conference rooms we were in with the 70s ceilings? I'm trying to spice up my slides presenting on the conference here at work and want to show the basementness.

At the last couple of IA Summits I've attended, I've used the Five Minute Madness session to deliver anonymous quotes overheard at the conference. This year, I've stashed them on my blog. See this year's quotes on UX Crank (http://www.uxcrank.com) (To see just the specific post: http://dswillis.com/uxcrank/?p=50)

thom haller posted A WOW Experience (a few thanks)
I had been reticent to attend the summit. I've attended seven, spent last year facing all sorts of life challenges, asking "Am I finding personal satisfaction in IA?" "Does this environment support me in being the contribution I hope to be?" The answer is a resounding yes. Thanks to Stacy Surla who encouraged me in this space to drag my sorry ass to Miami. Thanks to the DC IA community for unwavering support, to the greater IA communi...... [read more]
Jennifer Bohmbach: I'm glad to hear this. I went to one of your content workshops back in Montreal and it was fabulous. The community needs you, thanks for sticking with us.
Michael Adcock: I'd also like to thank you for going, even though we only met leaving on our way to the airport! I'll send you a proper email when I get a chance (still playing catchup with coursework), but I really appreciated our conversation. I owe you drinks when I see you next year in Memphis!

Adriana Machado posted PowerPoint, Keynote, and PDF files?
There was so much wonderful information shared at the conference that I am still trying to digest it all. Specially those presentations that I could not attend because I was in another one. Please let us know where the files are for download. I would like to collect them for reference and to organize my thoughts. However, I have not found a "conference proceedings" page with them all together. Is there such a page? Do we have to look fo...... [read more]

lynn boyden posted photos from the IA Slam?
Well, I can't seem to do it all, and one of the things I didn't do was get any official photos of the IA Slam team in full pirate drag. If you got any good ones, I'd be happy to see them. You can put them up on flickr and point me at them, or you can email them directly to me at lb@fatdux.com. Thanks so much for everyone who played! With your help we can keep IA wacky!
Adriana Machado: We have a Flickr group: IA summit 2008 http://www.flickr.com/groups/iasummit2008/ There are only 163 photos so far. But I predict it will grow soon. If you all got photos of the summit or just want to tag them, please join!!!

Olga Howard posted I love IAs
Yesterday I was asked what had been my favorite part of the summit so far. Although I always learn a great deal and I come away with solutions to problems, I said my favorite part is being around my IA peers. :) Thank you to all who indulged my research on IA and public policy. I can't wait to see you all again next year! Cheers!
Austin Govella: It was awesome hanging out with you. :-) I wish I didn't live so far away that my DC peeps have been thrown back in that "once a year" bucket...
Olga Howard: Ditto Austin! We miss you in DC. :)

This was a really great experience and a wonderful way for me to spend my weekend, though I admit that the Monday blues have now infected my Tuesday return to work. I should start saving now to make sure that I make it back for next year.

In honor of those comrades who could not catch the 5-minute madness (that's you @cind!!!), I twittered it for you: * http://twitter.com/austingovella The first madness was "unconf in seattle same weekend as euroia" (on page 2, currently)... And the last madness was JJG's "nothing is true. tell everyone". Of course, all madness was edited for content and fun. The 140-character madness of 5-minute madness. Or something.
Russ Unger: Austin's twittering may have been almost, if not more, exciting than the 5 minute madness.

Rebekah Bengtson posted Conference Notes via Blog
I've been scribbling down the link to give people my conference notes that I'm creating for coworkers and friends back home and I thought I might as well just throw it up here for the general public. http://rebekahgolden.blogspot.com/
Austin Govella: That's really cool! Thanks for posting it. Sorry I was speaking so quickly... :-(

Tony Stubblebine posted Your Network Changes
I just put up a more functional version of the My Network page. The want-to-meet feature is now more prominent as it feeds into a to-meet list. Also, now that the conference is winding down you should try the vcard export from that page. That way you can take all your new contacts to a more permanent home (like your email address book).

Deena Varshavskaya posted UPA compared to IA Summit
How does UPA copare to IA Summit? I've never been to UPA before and am thinking of going. Is it worth it?
Bryce Glass: It's been a couple of years since I've been, but I always found it worthwhile (UPA.) Similar to Summit crowd, in my estimation—working practitioners, not overly academic. More of a research and testing bent, but also folks interested in talking about interaction design, UXD, etc. I'd recommend you go if you can.
Rob Fay: What's sad is that I live in the Baltimore/DC area - would take me about 2o mins to get to the UPA conference, yet I won't be going. Company would pay for IA b/c conference cost was cheaper than the UPA one (even though I wouldn't need a place to stay). Look at the presentations. From what I can see, it looks to be good.

Additonal context: The goal of the Plain Language Legislation moving through congress is to establish plain language as the standard style of writing for any Government document intended to communicate to the public. This legislation is "more lawyer-friendly" than last year's attempt to improve the structure of regulatory writing but still embraces the belief that Government communication can support human beings.
