Done Bright!

The annual MatriarCHI lunch was held on Tuesday at da Sergio Trattoria in Florence. I have my friend Fiona to thank for the reference to this restaurant, as she and her husband Enrico are members of the Slow Food society and she read me the list of the Osterie d'Italia in Florence. The lunch was a wonderful meal shared by a congenial group of more than 15 women. The trattoria proved a little hard to find, as we had to peek between the stalls of the outdoor market in Piazza San Lorenzo, but we managed, and a good time was had by all.

From the MatriarCHI description on Yahoo Groups: "The members of this group are all the significant women who have contributed to the nurturing and development of the field of human-computer interaction. They have served in leadership roles either by volunteering their time and energy to the workshops, conferences and societies that foster the growth of this area or to the creation of theories, models, systems and significant scientific accomplishments in HCI."
