Workshop announcement for review

Folks, please give this a quick review before our phone call (today at 
1:00 EST PM I think!):

Here's the text of what will appear on the W3C web-page. I think OSF 
will launch at the same time.

We invite you to participate in the following workshop:

   Workshop on Social Standards: The Future of Business
   7-8 August 2013
   San Francisco, United States
http://www.w3.org/2013/socialweb/

The demand for interoperable and federated social standards systems is 
growing, yet the landscape of specifications are fragmented, making it 
difficult to create new software that serves the needs of both users and 
organization. The workshop will address

* What are the use-cases and requirements are driving social business 
and what is its overall architecture?
* What are the current problems facing social business and what 
technologies that could and should be standardized?
* What are the next steps for social specifications, ranging from 
OpenSocial to the Federated Social Web (Open Graph Protocol, 
ActivityStreams, Pubsubhubbub, PortableContacts, Salmon Protocol)?

There will be a pre-event "meetup" dinner after Enterprise 2.0 hosted at 
W3C's office at MIT on June 18th. Please see web-page for details.

This Workshop is open in particular to social business leaders and 
strategists, federated and decentralized social web technologists, 
security experts, and developers.

If you are interested in presenting, please submit a position paper by 1 
July  2013.
