Re: SIG at CHI Florence/collective submission and beyond

Hi Douane, PDM,

short introduction:
I am Leo Sauermann from DFKI, I am in the Semantic Desktop community
and W3C's SWEO Interest Group.

I published many things about the semantic desktop and am very active in 
community work.
My main goal is to make usable semantic web applications, and the 
desktop is the place where we all work (using a browser or not)

me:
http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~sauermann/

I have submitted a paper at the PIM2008 workshop at CHI and got 
accepted,  I will be there.
My role is primarily to connect the Semantic Desktop people with the PIM 
people, which is important.
I can present a paper at CHI if you want, anyway I am interested to meet 
you there.

I may also contribute/co-author, but not as a leading role.

best
Leo
