[edit] Run your own VoCamp!
The following list is in a vague sequence according to likely time of event (soonest first).
[edit] Galway
The second VoCamp will be in Galway, at the end of November. VoCampGalway2008
[edit] Bangkok, Thailand December 2008
An unprecedented number of semantic webbers will gather in BKK to attend ASWC 2008 the second week of Dec. Some will fly a week earlier, for the summer school (1st week of Dec). This is a good opportunity to run a Vocamp session (or two) especially aimed at providing the opportunity for local geeks and interested people to attend a free and open knowledge exchange session, meet semwebbers, and learn first hand about what this semantic web stuff is about. At this stage we need volunteers to run the camp first, that is, we need people who know how to code vocabularies. email: vocampbkk AT gmail if you are interested in running and/or attending this session, also search Facebook event (Vocamp Bangkok) and join there plz
[edit] Vienna
Matthias Samwald and Semantic Web Company have proposed a VoCamp for Vienna, probably in early 2009.
[edit] Edinburgh
Harry Halpin and Keith Alexander have discussed the possibility of organising a VoCamp in Edinburgh in early 2009.
[edit] Barcelona
There is a possibility of a VoCamp in Barcelona or Madrid in Spring 2009, close (in time) to WWW2009. If you're interested in taking part make your enthusiasm known to Peter Mika ;)
[edit] London
tommorris: if you have space in London and would be willing to let me run such an event in London, ping me an e-mail - tom@tommorris.org (via #swig)
[edit] Boston
EricP has expressed a willingness to organise a VoCamp at MIT.
[edit] Austin
Juan Sequeda has expressed an interest in running a VoCamp in Austin, TX.
[edit] Washington DC
Ed Summers is interested in trying to help make a VoCamp happen in DC: possibly at the Library of Congress, or elsewhere in the area. There are lots of people doing stuff with OWL, RDFS, RDF, etc in the area... so getting people together around vocabulary development seems like a generally useful thing to try to do. Immediately before ISWC2009 (October 2009) has been floated as a potential window for this event.
