RDF Working Group Meeting Schedule

Hi all,

Welcome to the W3C RDF working group [1].  We will hold our first meeting next Wednesday, 16 February at 11:00 US EST and meet weekly at that time thereafter.  Teleconferences will take place using the W3C Zakim service by telephone and IRC.  I will mail the dial in and IRC details to you shortly.

Much of the working group's written material will be available on a wiki [2].

Scribes for each teleconference will be posted on the wiki at [3], with alternates if the designated scribe cannot attend.  Please check the scribe list before each teleconference and notify the chairs if you will not be able to fulfill your responsibilities.  Thanks to Sandro Hawke for volunteering to scribe the first meeting!

The charter is available at [4] which you should have read prior to joining the group.  The working group is chaired by Guus Schreiber and myself.  Ivan Herman and Sandro Hawke are the W3C team contacts.

Please note that we expect most communication to take place on the public-rdf-wg mailing list [5].  There is a private (non-archived) mailing list for sensitive communications within the working group at [6], but we expect it to be rarely used.  Members of the public are encouraged to comment on topics related to working group activities via the public-rdf-comment mailing list [7].

Our first face-to-face meeting is expected to be held 13-14 April 2011 (Wed-Thu) at CWI [8] in Amsterdam.  Please mark your calendars.

You should have write access to the wiki.  Please do the following prior to our first teleconference:

  - Log into the wiki [2] using your W3C credentials.

  - Create a page for yourself on the wiki.  *Include a brief statement of your interests in relation to the charter*  That will help us to determine who else we should invite to join the working group.  Pages for Guus, Sandro and myself are at [9], [10] and [11] if you need samples.

  - Add the link to your page to the membership list at [12].

  - Send an email to this mailing list (mailto:public-rdf-wg@w3.org) with the link to your page.

Please email the chairs mailing list [13] if you have any trouble writing to the wiki.

I look forward to working with all of you to update RDF in a safe and responsible manner.

Regards,
Dave
