SSN-XG Meeting Reminder 17-August-2009

Hi all,

This is just a reminder that our regular weekly telephone conference ('week b') will be tomorrow:

Tuesday 13:00-14:00 UTC (9:00am-10:00am Boston local)
Your time:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=08&day=18&year=2009&hour=13&min=00&sec=0&p1=0

Zakim Bridge +1.617.761.6200, conference 7769 ("SSNX")
15 participants

As discussed in our last telecon, we have a new scribe process in place (this is action item 1): scribe duties rotate among XG participants, so all should be familiar with the instructions<http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/wiki/Generate_Meeting_Minutes#Scribe_duties>. Our scribe basically only has to do the "During the meeting<http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/wiki/index.php?title=Generate_Meeting_Minutes&action=submit#During_the_meeting>" part. The Scribe List can be found here<http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/wiki/Scribe_List>. After a scribe (generally from the top of the list) has completed his/her turn, he/she will be reinserted in the list at a new position determined by starting at the bottom and moving up until the number of minutes scribed by him/her (and linked from the right column) is lower than the ones listed below him/her. Thus, participants who remain at the top of the queue for weeks don't win an advantage (delaying their next scribe responsibility) by skipping meetings.

Some of the benefits of scribing are:

 *   Helping people not able to attend to read the minutes after the meeting.
 *   Making the Group accountable.

[NEW] ACTION: JohnGraybeal will create a page on the wiki with brief description of use cases (what the ontology should be used for), send here rather than the mailing list [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/08/12-ssn-minutes.html#action04]

Looking forward to "seeing" you there.

Cheers,
Holger
