:-( from me too.

It seems that there is a public record of the BOF here:

http://www.w3.org/2008/04/23-dawg-minutes.html

Of course, the ESW Wiki remains a good place to document suggested 
SPARQL extensions (which in turn often are suggested work areas for 
SPARQL2):

Offhand I'm not sure if/which of these are covered on the ESW Wiki or 
not. I encourage you (and anyone else) to add to the Wiki as 
appropriate, and to discuss potential extensions on this list.
