Hi Everybody I don't know if many know about SXSW conference, but it is the huge festival on interactive, film and music. The interactive part can be considered a big web developer conference. This past SXSW, I was amazed that there weren't panels on Semantic Web related stuff. So last month, I decided to get in contact with several people in the community and ask them to submit as many panels as possible. We were able to submit 12 panels! There are also 7 other related panels that were not submitted by us. The issue is that panels are choosen in part by a public vote. So now I urge the whole semantic web community to help out and vote for these panels! With Semantic Web Austin, we want to lobby with the organizers of SXSW to have a special semantic web track (a full day on semantic web panels). But for this to happen, we need to show them that there is enough interest. I made a list of the submitted panels here: http://juansequeda.blogspot.com/2009/08/semantic-web-panels-at-sxsw-2010.html Finally I want to thank Ian Davis, Andraz Tori, Tom Heath, Leigh Dodds and Peter Mika for helping out and submitting panels!
