We've had an action on the RDFa task force to do this for almost 8 months now and we've been too swamped to move forward with it. We need help on this from the community. > If you are interested in following up with the tshirt or SemWeb > promotion in general, or know of anyone who I should have copied on > this, dive in. I'm attaching Tom DeForest on this as he's been helping us with a new Wordpress theme for the rdfa.info blog site. We should discuss it as a community, brainstorm some ideas on t-shirt designs + webapps, perhaps even get some money together for a design contest for http://99designs.com/, and see what comes out of the meat grinder. Once we have a good design down, perhaps we could sponsor a hundred T-shirts (or put it up on CafePress?) and have them distributed at various web conferences as well as SXSWi? -- manu -- Manu Sporny President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Absorbing Costs Considered Harmful http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2009/02/27/absorbing-costs-harmful
