Nils Gehlenborg , Francis Rowland & Eamonn Maguire http://ebiinterfaces.wordpress.com/

What is it all about? Who are we and what do we do? Francis - usability Eamonn - aesthetics Nils - visualizations When is the next meeting?

What is it all about? Aim: to create a community of like minded people to leverage off the collective knowledge so that we may create better user interfaces , better visualizations and inevitably better software for your users… How will we do this? regular presentations (1 every month) from internal speakers who want to present what they’ve done to improve their system or what their current problems are! coffee meetings every 2 weeks to informally discuss general problems, new technologies or things that may be purely of interest to the group… the blog where we will post things to help you in developing nice interfaces, graphics or intuitive visualizations of your data!

How will we do this?
