You are holding the proceedings of the 7th ACM Conference on Designing Interactive Systems --- DIS 2008. For the first time ever, one of the main SIGCHI conferences is being held on the African continent and we would like to thank those involved for taking a leap of faith and letting DIS take a trip to Africa. Our goal in bringing DIS to South Africa is two-fold. Firstly, there is a small emerging group of researchers within Africa who will benefit greatly from being exposed to the stimulating work produced by the DIS community. Secondly, we wanted to give the DIS community exposure to African Design. It is for this reason that DIS is co-located with the African Design Indaba --- the premier annual event for African designers. We hope that those attending DIS from other continents will be inspired by what they see here.
