Hi all, First, as Sandro has just told us all, I'm thrilled to report that yesterday, the Director approved: • Data Cube [1] • ORG [2] • DCAT [3] as Proposed Recommendations. They will be published in the next day or so, and will be put forward to the W3C membership to become full Recommendations in the new year. In the meantime, huge congratulations to Dave Reynolds, Fadi Mali, John Erickson and Richard Cyganiak, and many thanks to all the contributors, reviewers, and everyone who helped with implementations. We should all be very proud of all we've accomplished here. These are in addition to our other successful deliverables: • Use cases and lessons for the Data Cube Vocabulary [4] • RegORG [5] • ADMS [6] • Linked Data Glossary [7] • Community Directory [8] • Linked Data Cookbook [9] We have done a lot over the two and a half years we've been together. Well done, group! Second, it looks like we won't be able to produce a Best Practices document. Significant issues have been raised in the past few days [10, 11, 12, 13], and though we scheduled a telecon for today to discuss them [14] — no one turned up to it. Sandro, Phil and I therefore don't feel that the Best Practices draft can be prepared as a working group note this week, nor that we could get group consensus to publish it. Best Practices editors: if you would like, you are of course welcome to continue to work on this through the vehicle of a Community Group. Alternately, we can leave the current draft as it is a set of thoughts and work-in-progress. This would make them available to future working groups, should they want to build on the progress you've made. We are now finished with our telecons — Thursday's is no longer necessary, so it is CANCELLED — which means the rest of our co-ordination will take place by email. We'll need a bit more help from everyone in getting support for the rec-track documents as they transition through PR, so please do keep an eye on your messages. In the meantime, thank you all again and I hope you have a very happy holiday season!
