@aaron @nielsvanberkel@hci.social thanks! Amazing matrix. Especially because of the delicate balance between similarities and differences across messengers, I find it particularly interesting to think of how users will make sense of those similarities and differences when chatting from different platforms. In this talk at the @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org conference I talk in detail about some interesting challenges about UIs for interoperable chats from a relational/user-centered perspective: https://youtu.be/0OWAPYS2QIE?si=Usdnf562JWhj-oHf

I'm hiring a PhD student in Copenhagen, Denmark to do #HCI research on #privacy and #interoperability in messaging apps!

This is a fully funded 3-year position in the Copenhagen campus of Aalborg University. The student will join my project "mInt" (for "messaging interoperability" ;)) and will be co-supervised by me and @nielsvanberkel@hci.social .

More info and application form here: https://www.stillinger.aau.dk/phd-stillinger/vis-stilling/vacancyId/1219575. Deadline is May 18.

We just published the list of the 187 amazing #chi2025 Late-Breaking Work ACs that are shaping up the largest posters programme that @chi@hci.social has ever seen! Thank you all for your hard work! https://chi2025.acm.org/for-authors/late-breaking-work/

Hello #chi2025! The Late-Breaking Work track is recruiting Associate Chairs (ACs). ACs oversee 8-10 submissions and play a key role in shaping the posters program at the conference. We welcome both experienced and new ACs. See more info and volunteer here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc11FddMYDX05kei9ml-CmZGGUinWF-iLBrpka1NG0K1Cod7Q/viewform

@_elena@mastodon.social great, and thanks for the tip!! I'll also reach out there depending on how the recruitment goes this week :) Would you mind sending me an email so I can send you more info about the study? Thanks!

Hey #matrixconf. I'm conducting a research study about how users experience interoperable messaging, e.g., via @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org bridges, between different matrix clients, @onbeeper@bird.makeup and mainstream apps, etc.

I'm looking for *users* that are NOT involved in the development of these clients/platforms.

If you know anybody that fits this criteria, could you invite them to get in touch with me for a ~30 minutes interview? My email is cfg@cs.aau.dk. Thank you!!
