Thought some people in this group might be interested.
We are having a hackathon at RPI this summer - June 27-28.
There will be demos and tutorials on monday morning related to linked 
data and using semantic tools and a number of talks scattered throughout.
The discussions about demonstrations and tutorials made me think that 
many of us might be interested.
it is free but we need people to sign up so we know how much food to get 
for people.
There are two tracks - one focused on ehealth and one open.
Elsevier is supporting it and will be discussing their scientific 
publications.
