I propose my http://www.TechPresentations.org to be a base for the proceedings and all - it is one of the first and prominent SMW-based sites and specializes on events and presentations (here's the page for presentations related to SMW: http://www.techpresentations.org/Semantic_MediaWiki)
I also plan to work on ontology for it during VoCamp (you can actually see some results on my Slidy+RDFa slides here, for example: http://www.w3.org/2007/08/pyRdfa/extract?uri=http://www.sergeychernyshev.com/talks/Web_Performance/at_New_York_Web_Standards_Meetup.html Thank you, Sergey -- Sergey Chernyshev http://www.sergeychernyshev.com/ On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 9:26 PM, Joel Natividad <joel.nativi...@gmail.com>wrote: > Yaron, > During SemTech 2009, we had a "de facto" SMW meetup of sorts during > the Semantic Wiki session chaired by Mark Greaves.
