FW: W3C invites W3C Community Groups to meet at TPAC 2016

Hi all,

Kris invited you all to the ifcOWL-SAREF-FIEMSER VoCamp in Dublin on the 22th and 23th March of 2016 (https://www.w3.org/community/lbd/2016/01/28/dublin-ireland-march-22-23-2016-ifcowl-saref-fiemser-vocamp/).

In addition to that, the below message might present an additional opportunity to meet. W3C organizes a 5-day TPAC, a Technical Plenary / Advisory Committee Meetings Week for all working groups and similar in W3C, in Lissabon, on 19-23 September 2016. Registration of this event is about 85USD per day per person. Each community group (as our LBD group) is invited to apply for a 2-hour meeting slot in one of the days of this meetings week. This is not only an excellent opportunity to meet within our group, it is also an excellent opportunity for seeing the other working groups and community groups in W3C and see if we can connect to some of them. SHOULD WE APPLY FOR THIS MEETING SLOT / WHO WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND? ​I would personally very much like to organise all this.

For the BuildingSMART LDWG members in this mailing list (http://buildingsmart-tech.org/future/linked-data), the Korea BuildingSMART Standards Summit is planned from 26 to 28 September 2016, which is the week after the above TPAC week. However, it will be hard for most (European) LDWG members to travel all the way to Korea for this. Nevertheless, it would be good to meet in TPAC Lisboa, also to finish preparation for the BuildingSMART summit in Korea.

Please respond.

kind regards,
Pieter

Onderwerp: W3C invites W3C Community Groups to meet at TPAC 2016

Hello,

As part of an experiment, we are creating an opportunity for W3C Community
Groups to meet at the upcoming W3C TPAC, held in Lisbon, Portugal, 19-23
September 2016.

About TPAC:
Since 2001, W3C has been hosting yearly TPACs [1].
This five-day event allows Working Groups (WG) and Interest Groups (IG) to
hold their face to face meetings in one place, on Monday/Tuesday and
Thursday/Friday, and have the opportunity to meet and liaise with
participants from other groups.
A Technical Plenary meeting takes place on the Wednesday of that week,
most of which is organised as "camp-style" breakout sessions. You may look
at the TPAC 2015 site for more detail [2].

CGs at TPAC experiment:
* W3C Community Groups can hold 2-hour meetings on Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, Friday.
* We can accommodate 4 meetings per day, so 16 over the entire TPAC week.
* The meeting room can accommodate 20 persons, classroom style, equipped
with a screen and video projector and speaker-phone on demand.
* The daily TPAC 2016 registration fee (TBD) is the same; it includes
lunch, morning and afternoon coffee/tea break.
* Outside of their Community Group meetings, non W3C-Member CG
participants may attend as observers those Working and Interest Groups
meetings who accept observers (some groups may not permit observers, this
is at the Chair's discretion.)

Slot allocation:
* The W3C Team will open the TPAC 2016 subscription of groups on 7 March
2016.
* The W3C team will proceed with slot allocation, including selection
should there be more than 16 Community Groups subscribing.

We are hoping this is an opportunity that you find appealing. Please,
discuss within your Community Group.

Let us know if you have questions or need more information, by writing to
<team-community-process@w3.org>.

Thank you,
Coralie Mercier, Head of W3C Marketing & Communications
