[VoCamp Discuss] VoCamp Baltimore/Washington DC

Wed Apr 8 08:12:06 PDT 2009

Juan,
Thanks for the heads up.  Liz and I are both members of the Washington
Semantic Web Meetup group, so we have been in contact about the proposed
VoCamp.  Liz started a google group, http://groups.google.com/group/vocampdc,
if you are interested in keeping up with our planning.  We will also be sure
to update the VoCamp wiki as we get some more plans solidified.
