(copying the public SWAD-E list...) Caroline, http://esw.w3.org/topic/AnnounceOMatic is a quick writeup of the project idea we were discussing earlier, ie. finding a better way to manage conference announcements to W3C developer mailing lists. I tried to list some of the questions we ought to be answering; there are doubtless plenty of others. In particular, I'd like to look at prior work on this, eg. whether any other groups are using iCalendar documents when announcing conferences to mailing lists. I also linked to some work going on with the UK LTSN network, where they aggregate (by hand, at each of several subject-specific centres) event descriptions, and then disseminate these further as RSS feeds. Here's the economics one, for example: http://www.economics.ltsn.ac.uk/events/events.xml ...which is also a good use case for GeoInfo / mapping markup, once we get that work a bit more stable. Next steps? probably to think about a method for trawling through some chunk of recent www-rdf-* mailing list archives and summarising the kinds of events we have seen announced, and using that to draft guidelines for people using www-rdf-* for such announcements. hope this makes sense!
