Semantic Technologies May 18-22 - meetup proposal?

[danielabarbosa]

Hi Everyone-

I believe a few of the members of the project will be at the Semantic
Technologies Conference in San Jose from the 18th-22nd.
http://www.semantic-conference.com . I will be attending all official
events, workshops and sessions as well as the holding fort at the
Synaptica booth during exhibit hall hours.

I would love to set a time to meet and introduce ourselves face to
face. Assuming that there are already several get togethers that we
can meet at? (not sure if one for DataPortability specifically has
been arranged)

please let me know if you have any suggestions to do something
'formal'

looking forward to meeting you all!

Ditto!

We'll be presenting a tutorial on Monday morning entitled "The Future of
Social Networks: The Need for Semantics" where DP will get a good plug -

What about meeting Monday evening at 8 PM in the Hotel Lobby Lounge (it
has wireless!)?

I'll also ask if it still possible to have a focus area / user group for DP.

See you there Daniela!

John.

We have a slot to discuss DataPortability at the Semantic Technologies
conference:

Tuesday 7:15 - 8:15 AM

It's early but it will be a good opportunity for a formal session after
informal meetings on Monday.

If I can get up in time, I should be there. I could give a demo of
Beatnick if there is some interest.

This is really going to be a great conference. Silly that I did not
blog about it earlier.
I have just filled in the entries below with some more on very related
topics.
