Re: [euopendata] Fwd: Re: ICT 2010 Networking Session on Governmental Linked Data

Antti (and others!),

we had a separate telco where we outlined the general ideas of the meeting, and also set some specific issues to look at. Unfortunately, right after the telco several of us disappeared on a trip (I am just on my way home from California later today after almost 2 weeks). Soerens' mail to the commission[1] gives a good idea of the plans. We will certainly have to pick up things.

Two further, very practical issues:

- we have decided to use a separate mailing list concentrating on the ICT meeting, namely public-ict2010-session@w3.org. Send a mail to [2] to subscribe (with a 'Subscribe' in the subject). The mails have an archive at[3]
- we have decided to have a telco every other Mondays, starting next week 5th of July. The details of the phone bridge are at[4]

Cheers

Ivan

As such, it would be important that the session has speakers from various areas:
