14:12:56 [LeeF]

14:13:06 [uldis]
but it is going quite slow now for the summer
14:13:19 [uldis]
congratulations to Kingsley! :)
14:14:12 [leobard]
yes, congratulations!
14:15:02 [uldis]
question to Leo re. incorporating feedback from TAG
14:15:16 [uldis]
will submit the document as a SWEO note
14:16:04 [uldis]
Susie: will be nice if we can put more energy into community projects
14:16:26 [uldis]
Susie will contact Kjetil and see what we can do
14:17:22 [uldis]
next item: SWEO has another ~6 months to run. what should we be focusing on during this time?
14:17:52 [uldis]
e.g., should we be focusing on a meeting with industry people to promote the SemWeb
14:17:59 [uldis]
or more collateral materials, ...
14:18:32 [uldis]
one area: highlighting the materials that are the best in this area, that help to understand the SemWeb quickly
14:18:46 [uldis]
any other activities we should be focusing on?
14:19:27 [uldis]
there are a number of working group proposals.

14:21:15 [LeeF_]
LeeF_ has joined #sweo
14:21:29 [uldis]
Ivan: 2 different things
14:21:47 [LeeF_]
SOON!
14:22:48 [uldis]
one thing is "life after it is finished"
14:23:23 [uldis]
what we could be doing for SPARLQ and for GRDDL
14:24:35 [uldis]
one newsgroup post - re. merger of Web2.0 and SemWeb into Web3.0
14:25:27 [uldis]
survey of press around the semantic web, and having a selection of the best articles available
14:25:32 [uldis]
would be a good thing
14:27:07 [LeeF_]
isn't that part of the information gathering? :)
14:28:18 [uldis]
we have not been doing collecting of press articles in the info gathering task so far
14:28:47 [uldis]
but identifying the best [articles,...] is valuable
14:29:31 [uldis]
there's an organisation being set up in Europe, called SDI
14:29:40 [LeeF_]
s/SDI/STI2
14:29:42 [LeeF_]
(i think)
14:29:55 [uldis]
collection of the institutes working on the SemWeb
14:30:29 [uldis]
funding to develop courses and tutorials for the SemWeb
14:30:36 [uldis]
the money will be available on January
14:30:52 [uldis]
had a phone discussion, agreed that in September they would join SWEO
14:31:27 [uldis]
we should develop some form of co-operation so that they develop the courses, and SWEO can review the courses and make them become a more concise curriculum for the SemWeb

16:01:48 [KjetilK]
oh, no, did I get here too late?
16:02:16 [LeeF_]
KjetilK, call was two hours ago :P
16:02:18 [LeeF_]
err
16:02:19 [LeeF_]
:)
16:03:01 [KjetilK]
two hours...?
16:03:09 [KjetilK]
oh well... :-(
16:03:27 [KjetilK]
how's it going, LeeF_?
16:08:37 [LeeF_]
not too badly - doing a lot of work trying to pull together the DAWG's test suite
16:08:48 [LeeF_]
how about you, KjetilK?
16:09:51 [KjetilK]
nice
16:09:56 [KjetilK]
got a new job
16:10:05 [KjetilK]
pretty ok so far
16:10:13 [KjetilK]
we just need to win the contracts now
16:10:24 [KjetilK]
had a pretty nice meeting with a potential client today
16:10:32 [LeeF_]
What sort(s) of industry?
16:11:12 [KjetilK]
that's a library system, publically funded, lots of RDF, open source
16:11:20 [KjetilK]
quite fun
16:11:25 [LeeF_]
yeah, that does sound great :)
16:11:29 [KjetilK]
yup
16:11:58 [KjetilK]
it'll be either Jena or Redland, though
16:12:05 [KjetilK]
still haven't had time to look into R
16:12:07 [KjetilK]
errr
16:12:09 [KjetilK]
Boca
16:12:35 [KjetilK]
we think we have a very good chance of winning that contract
16:12:41 [LeeF_]
Boca's status is a bit up in the air, in any case, since there's no one left at IBM supporting it :-/
16:12:46 [KjetilK]
:-(
16:12:49 [KjetilK]
that's really sad
16:13:08 [LeeF_]
Trying to figure out if there's another alternative, but probably need a few weeks to explore options
16:13:18 [KjetilK]
yeah...
16:13:35 [KjetilK]
anyone left of the group working there?
