I received news a few weeks back that an abstract I'd submitted to the Innovation@Sun conference had been accepted. This is particularly cool, because it gives me a chance to present the work that a colleague and I did to all of the Sun Fellows and Distinguished Engineers.
In late 2006, we conducted user research to develop personas for Sun Learning Services. Along the way, we came up with a new technique to develop personas that is faster and more reliable than traditional methods.
With any luck, we'll also get to present the ACM conference paper that I'm writing about the method next Spring.
