Selecting sites for academic conferences is a key issue in the SIGCHI community and beyond. Dr. Katie Seaborn and Adrian Petterson (The University of Toronto) have co-authored possibilities for going forward. https://medium.com/p/071173b3c34e #acm #sigchi #hci #chi #chi24 #whychi

💡 ACM SIGGRAPH 2023 Courses

While performing research on the Web today, I spotted this great page of presentations from '23. Since is opening up its content for public access, all of the presentations on this page can be viewed & downloaded for free! 🥳🎈

https://www.siggraph.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/ACM-SIGGRAPH-2023-Courses.html

I reviewed each course, and I must say, this is the most comprehensive set of topics I've seen in a while - most have matured and are now being commercialized

Communications of the is now open access, but at the cost of breaking all existing links to articles. "We need to get Google to reindex the new site ASAP," says its editor. Has no one at @ACM heard of redirects? https://developers.slashdot.org/story/24/03/03/035222/communications-of-the-acm-is-now-open-access?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed

CACM Is Now Open Access – Communications of the ACM

<https://cacm.acm.org/news/cacm-is-now-open-access-2/>

More than six decades of CACM’s renowned research articles, seminal papers, technical reports, commentaries, real-world practice, and news articles are now open to everyone, regardless of whether they are members of ACM or subscribe to the ACM Digital Library. …

@ACM

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39559411> begins with a comment from James Larus, Editor-in-Chief:

Changing the economic basis of a thriving industry is an enormous challenge (how long has open source software been around?). ACM has publicly committed to making all its content open-access by 2026 (https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess). I'm still waiting to hear Microsoft or Facebook make a similar commitment (-:.

It has taken years because the worldwide research community must change from the "readers and libraries pay" model to "writers pay." For ACM, the transition is well underway. Many ACM conferences are now open access, and I'm happy to say that CACM is now fully open access as well (previously, it was just the older issues).

Opening CACM's content and creating a new website was a deliberate decision to try to make CACM into a central forum for the technical community to exchange ideas and debate issues. ACM is well aware that this community is orders of magnitude larger than its membership, so opening access to its flagship publication is an essential first step.

There are many technical websites and blogs online; most are focused on specific topics and areas or intended for readers who may not have a technical background. CACM's remit is computing in general, and we assume our readers are technically literate.

Please contribute (https://cacm.acm.org/author-guidelines/). CACM offers a range of options: informal blog posts, short Viewpoint pieces, and longer Research and Practice articles. We would like to hear from you!

Do chatbots actually understand what they are saying or are they "stochastic parrots?"

📄 Ceasing Print Publication of Journals and Transactions
https://www.acm.org/publications/ceasing-print
@ACM @sigchi

Charles Simonyi said in his Bravo Demo about electronic documents "there is no such thing as an original anymore" https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/q_Na1SJXSBg?t=371s

A magazine moving to the cloud dissolves in thin air. Reading the articles with a low entry barrier is something for the beach, the cafe and the train. That will not happen eletronically. Also "casual reading", where I read a 2nd or 3rd article, besides the one that drew my attention, won't happen anymore.

I may execute a special right of termination of my 15-year membership.
