Re: LiUD >>> SWISIG

Dear Eelco, Mathieu
we read about your interesting work below
which is relevant to our SWISIG

Please consider joining and sharing  stuff wit our members

In addition, we have just completed a stakeholder survey


anonymizedresults available in a spreadsheet (exportable to csv FORMAT)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApXeDqbLLqHSdHNYc0hPRVpBcDhmNWdEWENrc1FHbFE&usp=drive_web

 wondering if we could
do some linking/ produce a test case for your workshop with this dataset
(thinking circularly)

If so, we could ask stakeholders who want to make their names/contact
details/foaf profile visible in this exercise to give us persmission to use
their user data and maybe we can come up with something

cheers

PDM
