Re: OKCon 2009: CFP + submissions system

Hi *,

Wow, good progress. I was just little time offline :-)  Thank  you  
Jonathan, Sören, and Rufus.

Okay, I had a look on the different sites and here are my comments:

First question. If I use this link: http://www.okfn.org/okcon/ and  
then try to go back to the page, I end here http://www.okfn.org/okcon/cfp
Is it just to keep the page "invisible" until it is finished?

What do you think, if we link the call (i.e. the term in the call) to  
the Open Knowledge definition (http://www.opendefinition.org/).  
Another minor detail is that the submission details appeared before  
the submission dates etc. I changed the order.

Re: OKCon 2009: CFP + submissions system

Looks good to me -- I added a link to the open definition as you  
suggested Claudia.

That made me think that perhaps there should be a short note under  
"Submission Details" that open as defined in the open definition is  
one of the factors of the review process?

Thanks

Good call. Added:

"We welcome proposals on any aspect of creating, publishing or reusing
content or data that is open in accordance with opendefinition.org.
Topics include but are not limited to: [...]"

Too verbose? Is scope wide enough?

Pub suggestions for OKF London Meetup after SemWeb Workshop?

Hi all,

As you may know we've got a workshop on 'open data and the semantic
web' coming up on London on 13th November [1].

We're planning on having an OKF meetup / volunteers drink afterwards
at a pub nearby from around 1830. Does anyone have any ideas about a
good pub near the London Knowledge Lab?

Great! Thanks for the suggestions Yishay! :-)

James Casbon also suggested the Duke. Does anyone else have any
thoughts about this?

Re: OKCon 2009: CFP + submissions system

Looks like we're now all set on the OKCon CFP. Next steps are:

a) move CFP to its official location
b) generate a plain text version
c) start sending it out (I think someone suggested putting a list of
places/mailing lists on the wiki for this)
