<sstephen> Susie told the WWW workshop organizer that we are not interested in publishing in the Springer conference proceedings as we are already doing a special issue with Briefings in Bioinformatics.
<sstephen> Kei submitted 7 abstracts to Briefings in Bioinformatics for review.
<sstephen> Susie discusses whether we have the necessary bandwidth to both put a proposal together for a tutorial at ISWC, and to actually give the tutorial.
<sstephen> Decision is to put a proposal together quickly and see if it gets accepted.
<sstephen> If proposal is accepted, we could present the C-SHALS slides.
<sstephen> Would need to find a warm body to present the slides, but will cover that hurdle as necessary.
