Re: Planning to close Linked Data Models for Emotion and Sentiment Analysis Community Group due to inactivity unless we hear from you

Dear members of the group,

First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Sergio Muñoz and
I work as an assistant professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. I am
a colleague of Fernando and we work in the same research group, so he has
made me aware of all the activities of this community and the work you
have collectively undertaken. Thank you all for your dedication to the
community group and for your proactive efforts in charting a course for its
revitalization, I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to
the community group's ongoing initiatives.

Regarding the proposed actions in the short/mid term, I support the
identified priorities proposed by Fernando and would like to collaborate
closely with the rest of group members to implement them effectively.
Establishing a regular meeting schedule, updating the group's wiki,
inviting new professionals, gathering new use cases, proposing public
guidelines, revising communication and social media strategies, and
discussing in-person events are all crucial steps in fostering a dynamic
and engaged community.

In the coming days, I will reach out to you to schedule a meeting. This
will provide us the opportunity to delve into the specific details of the
transition plan and beginning our collaborative journey toward the
revitalization goals. I am eager to engage with all community members to
gather your opinions and insights to ensure a collective and inclusive
approach to our revitalization efforts.

Once again, thank you all for your attention and your dedication to the
community group.

Best regards,

Sergio Muñoz
