[Fwd: XTech 2008 Call for Participation, one week to go]

Final week for XTech submissions! XTech is one of the Web community's 
finest conferences, and a great crossroads between industry, academia 
and the standards scene. See 
http://2008.xtech.org/public/content/2007/12/05-cfp or the attached for 
details. The theme this year is spot-on for semweb. And 2008 I think 
should be the year that many projects emerge from semweb research scene 
and go show the rest of the world what we've been up to with this tech.

Excerpt, [[
XTech 2008 will be held from May 6-9th 2008, in Dublin, Ireland.

XTech’s theme this year is “The Web on the Move”, focusing on the 
emerging portability of data, applications and identity on the internet. 
We will explore the benefits, issues, practicalities and fun of a web 
built on open standards, open source and commodity technology.

XTech presentations should inspire, educate and challenge. Your audience 
will be people like you, responsible for steering the technological 
direction of their organizations and the web as a whole.
]]

I hope to see many of you there (and perhaps to arrange some semwebby 
gathering alongside). Do get writing those submissions...

cheers,

Dan
