<leobard> ivan: if we open the logo discussion, it takes endlessly
<leobard> whats wrong with these logos?
<leobard> http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/Misc/LogoIdeas
<leobard> did I miss smthg?
<ivan> leo, there was a discussion+decision to make semantic web logos in general rather than only SWEO ones
<LeeF> leobard, I believe they're talking about general semantic web logos (and specific for other projects, such as GRDDL, SPARQL, etc.)
<leobard> thx, i missed that
Susie: talks about logo options: wait for Bengee or open up to general logo competition like GRDDL effort
Ivan indicates he likes Bengee's work but emphasizes this is a personal opinion
<bengee> http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/Logos/SemWebLogoIdeas
<leobard> bengee says that the logos have simple basic shapes that can be reused for many logos there
<leobard> @bengee: btw, do you know the cool how-to-design-a-logo-of-letters by ba`? http://www.bamagazine.com/7ecHEsLand.asp
Ivan and Susie provide Bengee with some insights re. logo aesthetics
<leobard> Ivan says he was at a lokhead martin meeting showing semweb
<leobard> ivan says the use cases were interesting for these people.
<mannamal> Ivan, I will likely have a use case from a telecom company - we just heard of someone successfully running a live project using databases and RDF. I am going to ask them to provide a use case. They clearly say that SW helped them save time and money :-)
<leobard> ivan says this is a good sign for the use cases. we have two that should be reviewed
<mannamal> mannamal is Melli by the way.
<leobard> susie says she received the one by the chinese medicine portal
<leobard> susie says she did not get the one from renault
<leobard> possible action items seem to get the use case from renault
<leobard> ivan says susie found another possible use case from pfitzer
<leobard> ivan says that in Banff he talked to daniel ... from vodafone and he would defintly want to do a usecase for us
<leobard> ivan says there is one from IBM on a customer in china
<leobard> ivan says the guy who we met in oslo / works in spain, city of zaragoza, they agreed to send him a use case
<danja_> Daniel Appelquist, vodaphone
<leobard> who was talking before susie? didn'T get the name....
<leobard> question about Pfitzer contact, is it a UK contact or US?
<leobard> its the same person in both us & uk
<leobard> ivan says there is one more from sun.
<leobard> susie and ivan say that having the selection is enourmously useful
<leobard> ivan asks kingsley: your customers, can we get use cases there?
<leobard> kingsley says he will try.
<leobard> susie brings up the topic that we evaluated upcoming conferences where to go and evangelize
<leobard> for this year, susie has took off the meetings that already happened.
<leobard> http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/Conferences
<leobard> susie says for next year, we would need more meetings
<LeeF> Susie, did you put the info into an Exhibit? :-)
<leobard> susie created categories for meetings, like life sciences, general technology, .... with the goal to "infiltrate" the meetings.
<leobard> the database and data conferences could be interesteing
<leobard> call for participation from SWEOs: please add more meetings to the list
<mannamal> Susie, several of us will be at SemTech07 next week, and it looks as though there are several use cases being presented there. I am sure you will be introducing them all to SWEO, and those of us who are there could help do that.
<leobard> ACTION: people to add conferences to the wiki page http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/Conferences [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/05/16-SWEO-minutes.html#action01]
<leobard> susie asks if we can do the next f2f at cambridge
<leobard> ivan says that this is timed close to ISWC, causing jetlag
<leobard> susie asks if anybody on the phone is in the cambridge meeting
<leobard> danny asks if there is anybody going to the swig meeting
<leobard> susie: we should start thinking about other options for a f2f
<leobard> susie: another workshop about semweb and databases in cambridge in october?
<mannamal> I need to leave now. A f2f in Cambridge of course works nicely for me.
<danja_> positive side - the year is getting saturated with SW conferences ;-)
