Drupal CMS Code Sprint to add RDF as first class citizen

Hi all,

Wanted to forward this to the mailing list in case you are interested in
supporting the code sprint either with code or funding:


Announcement and ChipIn widget:  http://drupal.org/node/443824

There are only a few months left before the code freeze on September 1st.
Now that Fields API has settled in core, it's time to extend it with some
RDF semantics. DERI Galway is hosting an RDF in Drupal code sprint from May
11th until May 14th.

This sprint builds on Dries' ideas expressed in his recent posts Drupal, the
semantic web and search and RDFa and Drupal. With RDF in the core of Drupal
and RDFa output by default, it's dozens of thousands of websites which will
all of a sudden start publishing their data as RDF.

So far, Stéphane Corlosquet, Florian Loretan, Benjamin Melançon and Rolf
Guescini have signed up. How about you?

Some others are willing to come but cannot afford the trip until some
funding is secured. To help us fund the sprint and bring more Drupal
rockstars on board, please consider making a donation using the ChipIn
widget on this page. The money will be used to cover flight, food and hotel
costs for the sprinters. All sprinters are generously donating their time to
make this happen. It would also be great to fly in a few additional people
with extensive testing and Fields experience. Any excess money will be used
to add more people, or will be donated to the Drupal Association.
