14:08:28 <uldis> technology they developed some time ago for selling ringtones, ...
14:08:50 <uldis> also have 2 coming, from Norway

14:12:18 <kidehen> dealing with Fatherhood 3.0
14:12:29 <uldis> kingsley and leo had emails exchange on it, continuing work on info gathering
14:12:56 <LeeF> congratulations!
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.
14:19:50 <Zakim> -Jeff_Schiffel
14:20:26 <Zakim> +Jeff_Schiffel
14:20:36 <uldis> Jeff was saying: what could we do to make people better be aware of these activities
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
14:31:48 <uldis> http://www.sti2.org/
14:32:55 <uldis> agenda finished
14:33:16 <Zakim> -bengee

14:38:06 <bengee> bengee has left #sweo
15:40:32 <KjetilK> KjetilK has joined #sweo
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?
16:32:10 <Zakim> Zakim has left #sweo
