[time-sensitive] European Journalism Trust Indicators meeting

I observe that tomorrow 18 May is the deadline to register for next 
week's Paris kickoff of the "Journalism Trust Initiative" led by 
Reporter sans frontières and co-proposed by several other notable 
organizations.

As I read their info on the web [1] it looks like a credible attempt to 
set standards of behavior in journalism.  That's basically item #1 on 
our out-of-scope list, so generally distinct from our work, but they do 
envision a subgroup they describe as, "A ‘Technical Group’ ... 
consisting of IT experts in order to advise on and propose solution as 
regards the machine-readability and algorithmic connectivity of the ... 
results."  Hopefully we can have a strong liaison and/or overlap to make 
sure that bit is done with an eye toward wide effective interoperability.

So, if that's your kind of thing, and being in Paris on Wednesday is 
practical for you, you might want to register and attend.  I don't 
expect to make it, myself, at this point.  (I just an hour ago returned 
home from the W3C Advisory Committee in Berlin.  I think the Credible 
Web discussion went well, fwiw.)
