[OGDev] other things going on

[M.B.Gaved]

hi all, 

I think I've mentioned it before, Kake, but after me turning up and waving the flag for the Open Guides at WikiSym in Odense last year (and meeting Evan), I've been asked to be on the program committee for WikiSym2007 in October this year - reviewing papers and helping put together the list of papers to be accepted.

The deadline for papers is early May - so if anybody fancies keeping that direction going maybe check the call for papers? Certainly people seemed pretty interested in what I had to say. Me and Tom are both at a busy part of our PhD's so not likely to put in a follow up this time (though Tom's revyu.com stuff is taking off in an interesting way and Milton Keynes OG has an interesting taxi company edit war!), however maybe other people have ideas they'd like to debate in this arena?

    * research papers (long and short): due 7 May 2007

Subject: [OGDev] Hack Day (not ours, but maybe)
 
Hello!  I've signed up for this:
  http://hackday.org/

Basically, it's a bunch of geeks getting together in Alexandra Palace
on 16th-17th June, and making things.  I thought it might be cool if
there were OpenGuides people there.  Dom, might you be able to make it?
Anyone else?

One of the organisers turned up on #london.pm the other day and said
not to be put off by the thing about "considered for participation"
and "reviewing applications for attendance" - apparently that's mostly
to put off people who're not actually involved in building interesting
things and just want to come for the free booze/networking/etc.

Note that I don't know if there'll be space there to do anything
directly OpenGuides-related, but it might be fun anyway.

This also reminded me that I've been thinking for a while that it
might be about time for another OpenGuides hackathon - anyone interested?

Also: I learn from the interweb that Earle is going to Montreal to
talk to Wikitravel people about RDF output and how we can make
OpenGuides and Wikitravel talk to each other:

Is anyone else doing anything exciting at the moment?  I hear rumour of
a potential OpenGuides-related talk at YAPC::EU...
