U-Camp Planning - Bringing Design and Development together to create a better user experience.

The U-Camp is fast approaching and so we need to start planning.  I've started an email on the Fluid-work and also on the JA-Sig-UE lists.  I'm thinking people who are interested in presenting or have topic ideas can post them here on the wiki.  I'm going to post what I currently have received via email.  Please feel free to add your ideas here as well.over.  Thanks to all who participated!

Notes from one of the collaborative activities:
LMS Brainstorming Ideas

Overview

The JA-Sig U-Camp is an opportunity for members of the User Experience (UX) community to get together in a face-to-face environment and share our Design and User Interaction knowledge with interested members of the JA-Sig community.  We can discuss different User Experience techniques and ideas and look for ways they can help solve design problems in the JA-Sig community.  We would also like to have the JA-Sig community let us know how they would like UX to be more involved in community projects.  By the end of the U-Camp, we hope to have fostered a better understanding of User Experience and how it can be used in the JA-Sig community to better solve design problems keeping end-users' needs in mind.

...

Based on the current Unconference planning we will have a 1/2 day for the U-Camp.
