For the second year, I will be speaking at the 6th Southern California Linux Expo in Los Angeles, California (United States) on usability and design in open source software.
Abstract
I will provide an overview of common UCD methods and when they are the most practical in the development cycle, review different kinds of UCD deliverables and how their information can be used by developers, as well as use examples from exiting projects to help illustrate my points. In the course of the discussion, we will cover:
- A review of usability design and its methods
- Different kinds of usability documents and how they can be used by developers
- Different kinds of developer documents and how they can incorporate usability goals
- Strategies to help developers and usability designers work together
- Strategies to address issues which often come up in OSS/usability development

I will be presenting a peer-reviewed paper on the Modified-Delphi card sort at the 2008 Usability Professionals Association Conference in Baltimore, Maryland (United States).
Abstract
The Modified-Delphi card sort is a pre-design information architecture method which saves time and money, and increases the quality of results gathered. This paper reviews the research basis of the method and provides a practical guide for practitioners who wish to conduct a Modified-Delphi card sorting study.
