Abstract

This IHC2008 (the Brazilian HCI symposium this year at Porto Alegre, Brazil) is a special occasion for our HCI community: we celebrate 10 years as an organized community. That is why we had a panel in the program with the above title. We invited some of the most prominent Brazilian HCI researchers -- Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza (PUC-Rio), M. Cecilia Calani Baranauskas (UNICAMP), Raquel Oliveira Prates (UFMG), moderated by Marcelo Soares Pimenta (UFRGS), all of whom have contributed to consolidating our community -- to address some issues which we believe are central to understanding HCI in Brazil. In an agile planning meeting, we decided to focus on: (i) Some historical steps that were crucial for the consolidation of the Brazilian HCI community; (ii) Some indications and challenges for the growing HCI culture in Brazil; and (iii) Some considerations about on the profile of Brazilian HCI research areas and groups and its relation with a Brazilian way of doing HCI.

This text reviews and summarizes some of main ideas presented and discussed at the panel session.
