Title GUI Park: A Shared Medium for Interaction Design Abstract Volunteer-driven open source projects are increasingly interested in making their software usable by the average computer user. However, their tools and methods for conducting HCI-related activities are still in their infancy. In this talk, I will provide an overview of existing methods used to conduct interaction design in the open source community, highlight some shortcomings, then introduce GUI Park, a research environment we are building to explore alternative means of conducting interaction design in the loosely knit, distributed world of open source development.
