This is an event primarily targeting School of Information students at the University of Michigan, but anyone is welcome:

SOCHI and SCSI have joined together with SourceForge and Mozilla to bring you this school year's first design jam.

WHAT: Brainstorm your ideas for improving or redesigning Firefox
WHEN: Thursday, September 25th, 6-8PM
WHERE: Design Lab 1, Duderstadt Center (University of Michigan North Campus, Ann Arbor, MI)
RSVP: http://www.facebook.com/n/?event.php&eid=23492638077

Please indicate via the Facebook event if you will be attending so that we have an accurate count for ordering pizza.

More information about the event:

We will be answering Mozilla's call for participation, which requests that we all put our heads together to come up with revolutionary new ideas for the browser. These ideas can range from a simple improvement on how new tabs work (see one idea from Aza Raskin, Mozilla's UX lead) to a more complete browser interface redesign such as the very futuristic designs seen on the call for participation page.

You don't have to be a Firefox user or an HCI student to attend. Everyone is welcome! Come share your browsing habits, frustrations, and ideas!

We will follow up with the ideas generated at this event during two additional design jams later in the semester in which we will sketch ideas and create prototypes, but coming to one is not a committment to attend all three.

Not only will this be a whole lot of fun, but this is a great opportunity to build up experience and portfolio materials in interface design and contribute to open source in a way that matters with no long term commitment. SourceForge is providing T-shirts to all the participants. If you plan to attend, RSVP and please take a look at some of the videos in the links above to rev up your creative engines!

Hope to see you there!
SOCHI and SCSI

P.S. Not familiar with North Campus or the Duderstadt Center? No problem! If you want a guide from central campus, you can tag along with me. I'll head to the MSI Student Lounge in West Hall at 5:30 to gather people, and by 5:40 we'll take off to ride a Blue bus up to north campus together. If anyone gets lost on North Campus, call my cell at 515-450-0102 (I'm Liz) and I'll try to give you some quick directions.
