SOCHI and SCSI now bring you the third design jam in our browser redesign series, answering Mozilla’s call for participation.

redesigning Firefox

WHERE: Design Lab 1, Duderstadt Center (North Campus)
RSVP: http://www.facebook.com/n/?event.php&eid=33711718121

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

We will also be having a vote for the best mockup or prototype.  There will be great prizes and recognition for the winning team!

Submissions should be sent to lizblank@umich.edu and must be received by midnight on Thursday November 20th.

Mozilla Design Jam - #2 (Ann Arbor, MI, USA)

SOCHI and SCSI bring you the second design jam in our browser redesign series, answering Mozilla’s call for participation.

WHAT: Sketch your ideas for improving or redesigning Firefox
WHEN: Thursday, October 16th, 7-8:30PM
WHERE: Design Lab 1, Duderstadt Center (North Campus)

You don’t have to be a Firefox user or an HCI student to attend.  Everyone is welcome, but if you were unable to attend the previous design jam, we ask that you read through SOCHI’s summary of the event and check out the photos.  Bring your sketchbooks if you like, (especially those students taking 682, this might add valuable content to your design notebook,) or do your sketches on a whiteboard.  Snacks and swag will be provided, including a chance at free Firefox t-shirts.

This event is sponsored in part by SourceForge and Mozilla.

Hope to see you there!

Mozilla Design Jam (Ann Arbor, MI, USA)

At the University of Michigan, Duderstadt Center, Design Lab One The SOCHI and SCSI student groups have joined together with SourceForge to bring you the school year’s first design jam. At the event, participants will answer Mozilla’s call for participation, which requests that we put our heads together to come up with revolutionary new ideas for a browser, from a simple improvement on how new tabs work to a more complete browser interface redesign. You don’t have to be a Firefox user or an HCI student to attend. Everyone is welcome to share browsing habits, frustrations, and ideas. The groups will follow up with the ideas generated at this event during two additional design jams later in the semester at which they will sketch ideas and create prototypes. This is an opportunity to build experience and portfolio materials in interface design and contribute to open source in a way that matters with no long-term commitment. SourceForge will provide T-shirts to all the participants. If you plan to attend, RSSVP on Facebook to ensure enough pizza for all ( http://www.facebook.com/n/?event.php&eid=23492638077 ).
