Re: [HIG] Meeting next Thursday 1900 GMT, new calendar

[Kathy Fernandes <fernande spawar navy mil>]

Adam/Folks,

I am new to the HIG, having chatted with Adam at LinuxWorld and been
encouraged by him to contribute to the HIG.  I do HCI design for military
command and control systems in the Department of Defense and author the
design specs that all of the systems have to comply with.  I would like to
participate as a reviewer of the HIG and provide input from the perspective
of a user of the document and the GNOME HCI.  I work with systems that are
installed in both standard office settings as well as in various "adverse
environments" and believe I can offer a perspective that you may not
otherwise receive.

I will be unable to participate in your meeting next Thursday but will
review the draft and provide my comments for your consideration.
