regarding "ACTION: DanC to work on face-to-face agenda" -- minutes: RDF DAWG telcon 25 March for review http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2004JanMar/0186.html Thinking out loud... the basic questions are who/what/where/when/why... Who is straightforward: as many WG members as can make it. EricP has set up a WBS form gizmo. http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35463/AmsterdamDAWGF2F/results Why? To first order, the charter calls for ftf meetings, and each of us has agreed to the charter. To finer resolution, we should have some meeting goals... hmm... Where? to 1st order: Amsterdam. Beyond that, we've delegated to our hosts, Asemantics, who are keeping us informed on a web page, http://dawg.asemantics.com/ . We have a couple requests for remote participation that I expect we'll accomodate. When? to first order: 22-23 April. But we need more resolution on that... tradition suggests 9am to 5pm each day, but I haven't looked at flights and such. Our hosts are evidently willing to accomodate us for that time: "22 and 23 of April, 9.00 -17.00." -- http://dawg.asemantics.com/ Does anybody have a conflict starting at 9am on the 22nd and continuing thru 5pm on the 23rd? Please speak of conflicts for you personally, and don't worry about things you think other people might have trouble with. I'm interested to know about any sort of conflict, even if it's uncertain whether it will ultimately affect your participation in the meeting. Feel free to let me know off-list and/or in the comments field of the WBS form noted above. What is scoped by our charter, but we clearly need more resolution than that. And it's traditional to assign specific times to certain topics. I mentioned a couple 3-hour slots for the remote participants. These should be in the afternoon (a) because that puts the sun up over Pat Hayes, and (b) because Patrick Stickler asked to be briefed on the morning's progress at the start of the session. Meeting goals are also relevant to the what? and why? questions. I have only just begun to consider meeting goals. I suppose I'd like to get some level of consensus around use cases and requirements and have a plan for publishing them on http://www.w3.org/TR/ . Perhaps we can walk thru the RDQL submission and collect issues. Or maybe it's too early for that. http://www.w3.org/Submission/2003/SUBM-RDQL-20031030/ I expect that during the breaks and such, folks will discuss their favorite design proposals, or test harness mechanisms, and the like. But I don't know if we'll deal with that sort of thing as a group just yet. We have only decided telcon times thru April, so please come prepared to play telcon tiddlywinks. i.e. have your calendar handy. People that don't plan to attend should give their input by email. I'll send a separate message about that. Likewise future ftf meetings. It's good to have them planned a year in advance. Anybody who would like to host a future ftf meeting should please let the WG know at or before the Amsterdam meeting. Perhaps we'll entertain proposals before the meeting in email and actually decide at the meeting. There. That's the contents of my brain relevant to the ftf agenda. Let the discussion begin. Keep in mind that W3C process calls for the agenda to be done two weeks in advance, i.e. 8 April. By that time I intend to have a meeting page in place, ala Fifth Meeting of the W3C Web Ontology Working Group 9-10 January 2003 Manchester, UK http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/WebOnt/ftf5.html -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ see you at the WWW2004 in NY 17-22 May?
