Hi Ross, I have been exploring the different options in the nearby people app. The app has got a RESTful API to extract the details in JSON or RDF format. But while trying to run the app, I am having issues with getting the list of mentors & speakers which is necessary for the application to work. But to download these from the SVN, the user needs to be an Apache Committer. So what should I do to get hold of these files? These are the links holding the information regarding the mentors & speakers. https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/info https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/local-outreach
