Today's call will start with a quick overview of the course logistics, an introduction to the lab faculty and P2PU.org, and a comment about Big Blue Button (http://www.bigbluebutton.org ), the conferencing system that we will be using over the next four weeks for the live lectures.

Our guest -- Aza Raskin -- will join us at 10:30AM Pacific. Around 11AM Pacific we'll open up the lecture to a question and answer period. We'll aim to have today's lecture concluded by 11:30AM Pacific.

The topic: Aza Raskin is a renowned interface designer who recently held the position of Creative Lead for Firefox. Aza's lecture will focus on designing in the open and rapid prototyping.
