#AI enhances individual cognition like summarizing and synthesizing, but #teamwork requires coordinating interdependence and shared awareness.

We must decide how to design for when agents stay peripheral or they should intervene.

I'm co-organizing #ECSCW2026, an academic conference on how people use technology to work together. (Because I don't have enough to do yet, ha.)

One of the things I'm handling is social media, so if you do #CSCW, #HCI or related research, feel free to follow and/or share! 🙂

We desperately need a common LED indicator vocabulary for headphones/earphones to indicate to an observer whether the wearer is listening to anything and whether they’re using transparency mode or not. (This was probably a #cscw paper 25 years ago.)

Blockchain's hype boosted DAO communities, which, a decade later, now manage $16 billion. Did DAO platforms deliver on their initial promises?
Our new paper covers a 7-year mixed-methods postmortem of a first-gen DAO platform. What worked, what broke, what can we learn

I’ll be presenting this work at #CSCW in #Bergen on Tuesday! We will be part of the session “Core Concepts in Privacy Research” at 2:30PM in Bekken ☺️ https://hci.social/@cscw/115374760996616507

Just want to say out loud how much I enjoy @cscw posting tirelessly about their latest conference contributions this week. 🤩 I've never even been to CSCW myself, but if you care about the latest research on how people use technology to communicate and collaborate, check out their account.

🎇 We're in the final stretch before the start of CSCW 2025! The virtual pre-conference is this Friday, October 10th, and the main in-person conference is from October 18-22nd.

The full program for the pre- and main conference events are online, including paper abstracts, author info, awards winners and more.

Check it out here: https://programs.sigchi.org/cscw/2025

Registered attendees will receive more information soon on how to access the virtual pre-conference, including Zoom links.

🎇 We're excited to share more information about the phased introduction of rolling deadlines for CSCW papers, slated to begin in 2026 for papers published in 2027.

Thanks to Amy Bruckman (@asb) and Eric Gilbert for leading this change.

IT IS #CSCW ELECTION TIME!

At #CSCW2025, Sue Fussell will start as the new Steering Committee Chair, so it's time to nominate folks for Chair Elect!

If you're committed to the health of our community and are interested in running for the position of Steering Committee Chair Elect, *or* if you believe someone else would be an excellent candidate, please complete this form: forms.gle/W3pRf2eKDFcPM5AT7

Nominations will be open until Sept 25. The election will run from Sept 25 to Oct 12.

I'm co-organizing #CSCW NE, an in-person regional gathering for people in Northeast America, alongside some folks from Stevens, Rutgers, and Princeton. If you want to come hang out (especially if you can't make it out to the full conference in Bergen this year), RSVP at https://cscw-ne.hci.social

Please boost and help share 😊🔁

Aww, my oldest domain name hicom.org was 33 years old yesterday.

It was the only VAX System that Kevin Mitnick ever had a legitimate account on, he lasted less than a week.

Hey #CSCW attendees! I'm a Community Co-Chair for #CSCW2025. This year, we're hoping to help folks coordinate things like: hotel roommates, ride shares to/from the airport, and fun travel activities in Norway before/after the conference. Your input will be helpful for us to time this well. Given that the conference is Oct. 18-22, around what time would you estimate that you'll be booking your travel arrangements? (Blog post coming early this summer!)

Observation for #HCI / #CSCW: Rather than submitting to specific conferences, I should encourage the international students in my lab to submit to #TOCHI (etc.) so that they can *choose* any ACM presentation venue that works, even if it takes much longer to be accepted. 🤔💭💡

As a non-US scientist and citizen, this frightens me for many reasons:

- US-policies like this one could end up having global impact on what kind of science we can do in the future. If US universities can no longer talk about #DEI, how long before conferences under the #ACM (an US-based institution) such as #CSCW stop awarding DEI prizes?

- This could embolden the extreme right in many countries (including France) to adopt similar policies as soon as they manage to seize power.

A Situated Approach of Roles and Participation in Open Source Software Communities

> We propose a methodology—based on situated analyses of a formal design process used in the Python project—to identify the distribution of actual roles (implementation, interactive, group, and design oriented) performed by participants into and between the spaces (defining boundary spaces).

Socialization in an Open Source Software Community: A Socio-Technical Analysis

> From these analyses it appears that successful participants progressively construct identities as software craftsmen, and that this process is punctuated by specific rites of passage. Successful participants also understand the political nature of software development and progressively enroll a network of human and material allies to support their efforts

Landscapes of Practice: Bricolage as a Method for Situated Design

> This paper proposes a `bricolage' approach to designing systems for cooperative work. This involves users, participatory designers and ethnographers in a continuing cycle of design and revised work practice, often in settings where resources are limited and short-term results are required.

By Aarhus peeps including @heenrik : 'A Farmer, a Place and at least 20 Members': The Development of Artifact Ecologies in Volunteer-based Communities

> The community artifact ecology concept is important for CSCW as it enables framing of the relationship between communities and technologies beyond the single artifact and beyond a static view of a dedicated technology.

We're so close to 100 members over at https://www.reddit.com/r/CompSocial/ -- come join the fun!

CompSocial is intended to be a hub for folks across the social computing / computational social science space to share resources, engage in discussions, and learn about what's new in the field.

For all my #HCI / #SocialComputing / #CompSocSci friends here, I'm excited that we have Mastodon as a space to support this community in the post-Twitter times.

I think Reddit could serve a valuable auxiliary function as a place to host lasting discussions across the community. Join me at https://reddit.com/r/CompSocial/ and let's co-create a thriving community there!

#CHI #CSCW #ICWSM

Been thinking more about how to introduce “design friction” to improve our online interactions. Mastodon has many, such as the lack of a quote-post function, that constrain virality. But, we lose the pro-social effects of virality, such as visibility into a conversation going on outside of our own “filter bubble.”

hi #hci #cscw #SocialComputing folks! Tomorrow 10-11am ET, Michael Nebeling is hosting an office hour for #phd applicants in technical HCI. I'll be participating with @parastoo, @dj, and Amy Pavel. We'll discuss some of the questions that we've been compiling at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UJ3MjbQJbB3tZ1qcdIw4NghPsUcBTCEJTH8YUFNaVRA/edit

the range of research interests we span (words! sights! sounds! VR!) gives a good indication of our intended scope, so we're hoping the session will be helpful for lots of people interested in doing a PhD!

Shifting from Twitter, so here's a few research-interest-hashtags (in no particular order) to make me searchable: #ethnomethodology #space #STS #sociology #python #skylab #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #digitalmethods #HCI #criticaldesign #sciencestudies #CSCW

Am also looking for maybe a less generalist server to be on, so any ideas? Thanks!

Apparently people share a toot with hashtags related to what they do to make themselves discoverable for their communities on other instances.
