Re: [Semediawiki-user] Anyone going to SemTech 2010?

[Yaron K. <ya...@gm...>]

Well, my thought was that it might make sense to have a true "SMW Camp", or
something like it, that happens a little before or after SemTech but is
otherwise unrelated - we did talk, after all, about having two big meetings
a year, one in Europe and one in the U.S. We could possibly have it at, say,
the Wikia office in San Francisco (the Wikimedia office, unfortunately, has
no space for big meetings). But a more marketing-oriented meeting at the
conference sounds good, too - I guess the two are basically independent of
one another.
