New mobile group method papers published

We are happy to announce the acceptance of a new conference short-paper on our ethnographic work with backpackers.

The reference is:
Axup, Jeff, and Stephen Viller (2005): Augmenting Travel Gossip: Design For Mobile Communities. To be presented at OzCHI 2005, Canberra, Australia

A pre-print of that one will be posted here after the conference.

We also had a workshop paper accepted to the 'Appropriate Methods for Design in Complex and Sensitive Settings' workshop. It's great to see that all of the workshop papers are being freely posted online, which no doubt will make them even more widely read than the "official" papers, which will be entombed on the back shelves of libraries or stuck in online digital libraries that only academics or businesses have the money to access.

So, enough ranting about academic publication processes! You can go read them all on the workshop web site.

Our paper is:
Axup, Jeff, and Stephen Viller (2005): Formative Research Methods For The Extremely Mobile: Supporting Community Interaction Amongst Backpackers. To be presented at workshop: "Appropriate Methods for Design in Complex and Sensitive Settings" at OzCHI 2005.
