Folks,

It is time to get rolling on the "Semantic Mashups" working group.

I'm sending this email to you because you indicated at the November
meeting that you wanted to "contribute" to this effort (see email below
from Steve Olding).

I suggest that we try to use the same telecon time as the Semantic
Cluster for the ESIP Federation, since we need to coordinate our
activities with that cluster.  I also want to get participation from
some of the folks active in that cluster (e.g. RPI folks).

That time is Tuesday afternoon:
   Tuesday 1300 PT/1400 MT/1500 CT/1600 ET/2100 UT

So let's have the kickoff telecon next week on Tuesday, Feb. 19
at 4 PM ET.

Agenda:
 - Discuss logistics for the WG
 - Go over the proposed activities and possibly modify
 - Have contributors begin working on first tasks

The proposed activities for the WG are described here:
http://earthdata.nasa.gov/wiki/main/index.php/Publishing_NASA_Metadata_for_Semantic_Mashups

I will be transferring this content to the new wiki for the WG's soon.

If this is truly a horrible telecon time for you, or you can't
make it next week, then email me and let me know.

If there are many objections, then I will put up a Doodle poll
to pick a new time.  However, I would like to avoid this if
possible.

Talk to you soon,

 -- Brian

Brian,

Below is the list of people who have expressed interest in this working group. Also attached is copy of the sign-up sheets from the ESDSWG meeting.

I suggest that you make initial contact the people who had shown an interest in actively participating in this group (leader or contributor) and confirm that they are still interested. You should also take a look at the people who added their names to the old wiki - some of these were unable to attend the meeting and may be interested in getting actively involved.  Your objective should be to identify the small group of people who are willing to commit to actively contributing to this activity. All of the WGs have a long list of people who are interested as 'observers' but we can deal with these later. Let's try to identify the people who will actually be contributing to this group first.

--Steve
