CfPs on the public-lod mailing list (and other W3C mailing lists)

Dear subscriber to the public-lod mailing list.

I have been recently appointed maintainer of the list. It is with this 
hat on that I am writing this email.

W3C has an anti-spam policy [1] applying to all the lists it hosts. This 
policy specifies that call for papers are, in general, not considered 
appropriate for W3C lists, and this normally applies to this list. As 
you have probably noticed, that rule has never been strictly followed 
(and I was guilty of that myself!)...

Notice that there is a historical exception to the "no-cfp" rule, which 
is the semantic-web mailing list [2]. I also notice that 1) most CfPs 
published on public-lod are /also/ posted on semantic-web anyway, and 
that 2) there is a large intersection between the subscribers of both lists.

I therefore suggest that all of us refrain from posting CfPs on 
public-lod, according to the W3C policy, and that we post them instead 
on semantic-web (following the appropriate guideline, i.e. including the 
string '[CfP]' in the subject).

   thanks in advance,

   pa
