It seems like there are more people from the W3C Interest Group / Biopax / Semantic Web background at ISMB than expected. It would be nice if we could meet and discuss our current plans and experiences.
Opportunities:
1) The opening reception at Vienna City Hall starting on Saturday, 8 pm [1]. Of course there will be a lot of people, but we might be able to segregate into a small group when everybody is done with eating / drinking / chatting with others.
**********

I propose that everybody interested SHOULD MEET AT 9.15 pm NEAR THE ENTRANCE OF CITY HALL ON LICHTENFELSGASSE (map attached). Please notify others that might be interested but are not reading their e-mail at the moment.

I will be there. If nobody or only a very small group appears until 9.30 pm, the meeting is canceled.
2) If (1) fails, we could try to have an informal meeting on Monday afternoon / evening, maybe outside the main conference venue. This would be hard to organize.
3) Chris Sander also mentioned that there might be a 'Birds of a feather' meeting involving him and other Biopax - interested people, but I think that was still unsure yesterday.

P.S.: Wearing name badges during the reception would be helpful.
