Sounds like a good plan. XMPP room is always interesting too.

Another somewhat related room is the new
http://fosdem.graph-database.org/ ...graph processing room.

The degree to which it's helpful to think of social Web issues in
terms of graph structures is of course very much open to debate. But
some pieces of the puzzle (from rel=me graphs to more sociological
Social Network Analysis) can be thought of in graph terms. Also
tastes, recommendations etc., eg. Mahout, Gremlin
(http://markorodriguez.com/2011/09/22/a-graph-based-movie-recommender-engine/
http://danbri.org/words/2011/05/10/675  ...). I think the graph room
is more focussed on the technology than on its social applications,
but cross-pollination would probably be healthy...

cheers,
