Dear Saiph Savage,

Just as a reminder, there is one week left to review for CHI 2015 alt.chi!
We encourage you to browse the alt.chi submissions at
https://precisionconference.com/~sigchi/?goto=chi15alt and submit a review
so your thoughts can be heard by the rest of the community. We also welcome
you to participate in the discussion thread your review may spark, and to
invite others who might offer an interesting perspective to review. The
best alt.chi paper is one that generates lots of discussion, both in the
reviews and at CHI.

Reviewing for alt.chi is an open process. Anyone can browse, review, or
discuss any of the submissions during two weeks of open review and debate.
We think that open review is accountable and inclusive, and great for
gauging a paper's capacity to stimulate interest and discussion. We will
invite a selection of alt.chi open reviewers to revise their work as short
commentaries to be published in the Extended Abstracts with the alt.chi
paper.

Alt.chi aims to attract unusual, interesting, thought-provoking work to be
presented at CHI. We realize that sometimes the conventional reviewing
process can fail to pick up on truly innovative work that does not fit the
mold of the typical CHI paper. Instead of looking for flaws, imperfections,
and reasons to reject a submission, we want to look for sparks of interest,
originality, insight, and good reasons to accept a submission. We want your
opinion on what makes a good alt.chi paper. With your help, alt.chi jurors
can identify the submissions that will be of most interest to attendees at
the CHI 2015 conference.

The submissions are visible on PCS (
https://precisionconference.com/~sigchi/?goto=chi15alt). Click on your
"review in progress" link and then you should see a link "See submissions
and consider reviewing for CHI 2015 alt.chi." Clicking this link will show
you all of the submissions from which you can browse and enter reviews. (If
you've never volunteered to review CHI before, you'll need to create a PCS
account and accept the volunteer agreement to see the paper.) This
discussion phase will end on Monday, January 19th.

Keep these things in mind as you review:

1) When you enter a review, your name will be disclosed to the submission
authors. Entering your review will allow authors to see who has commented
on their work.

2) At alt.chi, we are looking for papers that will be interesting,
thought-provoking, or controversial to the CHI audience. We want papers
that will get people's attention, and provoke discussions both at and after
the conference. This should be the primary criteria for judging the paper.

3) Because we want the submission to generate discussion, you are allowed
to review papers even if you have a conflict of interest with the authors.

We look forward to your participation in this process over the next week!

Thanks,
Morgan G. Ames, Silvia Lindtner, and Henry Duh
alt.chi 2015 Chairs
