[Expertfinder-dev] Meeting in ISWC + info on leobard

[Leo Sauermann]

Hi guys,

I am at ISWC and would be interested to join the meeting.
I can not sign the "our company will use Expertfinder" requirement that 
is given in the wiki for expertfinder members, so I cannot join right 
now, but meeting in person and joining the talk would be good, I suppose.

Will the meeting be obviously open and we find each other by looking for 
us, or will the meeting be in some room - I miss the exact location...

some info about me:

We do use FOAF on our homepages, we created the RDFHomepage project and 
published a paper on it "RDFHomepage - finally a use for your foaf file" 
at ESWC. rdfhomepage.opendfki.de
so in principle we are interested in new vocabs.
There are some users of RDFHomepage, its written in PHP using RAP and 
silly simple technology

my personal research is Semantic Desktop, so the question how to embed 
Semantic Web into applications like this e-mail client. I was also one 
of the first Semantic Wiki guys and hack other things like Aperture.sf.net.
I also made a quite feature-rich FOAF editor in java swing on
www.foafme.com.

For Expertfinder, I would rather see the chance for a .com/web2.0 
startup than a research project. Although I would not be able to join a 
company because of my current position in Nepomuk and DFKI, where I can 
work very good. So I am listening to the plans and if I notice something 
interesting, will make notice.

greetings
Leo
