Re: [Fwd: SWIG F2F meeting during W3C Tech Plenary week? (during Oct 20-24th 2008)]

Hi Dan:
I'm planning on attending the Tech Plenary and would be glad to lead a 
session on the RDF2RDB work.
If there are other members of the XG that are planning to attend, it 
would be great if they could join me.

We are not planning on having a RDB2RDF XG meeting at the plenary.
