Stanley,<br><br>
Good to hear!<br><br>
I am a bit busy with a lot of things currently (argh), and can't reply
right now - but as you go on vacation soon, <br>
I will be able to reply sooner or later!<br><br><br><br>

  <p class="MsoNormal">Hi All<p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal">I have been out of touch for a few days and will
be leaving
for vacation Monday, August 24 and returning September 8.&nbsp; While I will
be
checking my emails occasionally, I may not be in touch often until
after my
return from vacation.<p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal">Leo, as to expressing my preference for your
proposed
hosting solutions, I will defer opinion to those of you more familiar
with the
options and your current operating environment.<p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal">I am not yet familiar enough with your
organization (and
that of OSCAF.org ) and its dynamics to fully understand exactly what
the job
duties are or will be.&nbsp; Please help me to understand my role and duties
by
providing a brief job description of duties and a monthly time estimate
for
each such duty.&nbsp; Please also emphasize the expected response time/cycle
for
each so I better understand the urgency of each from your collective
perspective.<p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal">What are your list sizes (and when combined,
unique members
total).&nbsp; What is the current monthly communications volume?<p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal">I will be happy to join OSCAF.org, just tell me
how.&nbsp; My
first glance at the sight did not reveal how to enroll as an
&ldquo;individual&rdquo;
(especially in terms of selecting the &ldquo;individual&rdquo; membership fee
option), so
how do you advise that I proceed with enrollment?<p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal">When was Semantic Desktop Org established?<p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal">Who shall I contact, to get started, when I
return from
vacation?<p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal">Finally, I would like to acquire a list of all
who are
actively involved in the governing and administering the web site, and
perhaps
a little something about their role in this, so that I can get to know
everyone.<p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><p>&nbsp;</p></p>

the website,

  <p class="MsoNormal">Hi Stanley,<br><br>
SMW is a good idea.<br><br>
Two solutions:<br><br>
"Our own"<br>
Stanley manages the server in coordination with Sven Ruby. <br><br>
"Semweb.org"<br>
We redirect <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.semanticdesktop.org">www.semanticdesktop.org</a>
to <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://semanticweb.org/wiki/SemanticDesktop">http://semanticweb.org/wiki/SemanticDesktop</a>
  <br><br>
Independent of that: <br>
Stanley, if you want, you can be our "community manager". It would be
good if you join OSCAF.org as individual member, we exclude you from
member
fees in exchange for worktime <br><br>
please express your preferences:<br><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.doodle.com/frdk3mk5i4kwaw3t">http://www.doodle.com/frdk3mk5i4kwaw3t</a><br><br>
The second solution, "semweb.org" would manage our limited resources
better. We could even reuse the existing SMW installation at
semanticweb.org,
which is maintained by one of the main developers, Markus Kr&ouml;tzsch.<br>
(disclaimer: I have been drinking a lot of beer with Denny Vrandecic on
conferences and a little less with Markus Kr&ouml;tzsch, so I trust those
guys to
host it right)<br><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://semanticweb.org/wiki/semanticweb.org:About">http://semanticweb.org/wiki/semanticweb.org:About</a><br>
This would allow us to interlink our data with the existing semantic
web data,
without having the need to create a new installation.<br><br>
In both solutions, Stanley could serve as community contact<br><br>

  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>All,</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>I
recommend using the free software titled "Semantic-MediaWiki"
(download from: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://semantic-mediawiki.org/">http://semantic-mediawiki.org/</a>).&nbsp;
this is open source software with an extensive body of developers
creating
extensions.</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Here
is why I recommend this software for the semantic desktop
domain...</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>I
will be installing and populating this software platform to
capture everything (laws, regulations, policies, best practices, vendor
resources, case studies, links to all other related web resources,
etc.)
pertaining to a small industry of Community Managers (Homeowner
Association
managers).</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>I
am currently working to build a semantic IUI, that serves as a
desktop portal through which all other applications are launched, and
within
which the user's state is always maintained and logged for user and
management
oversight purposes.</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>My
goal is to convert user from applications and initiating the
step-by-step document cycle functions, to writing and using
"intelligent
tasks", sequenced and bundled into "procedures' that are in turn
bundled
into "Projects" that change the paradigm from being a desktop user to
a workflow designer and operator, where application interfaces and the
directory tree disappear, as all I/O is viewed through the portal
framework.</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>I
digress to say "what better way is there to serve our
Semantic Desktoppers?</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;</span><p></p></p>
  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>I
will volunteer to serve on the team as a co-manager.&nbsp; We
are all very busy, but by adopting the proper tools to crawl, convert
and
update, the cost to grow and maintain a world-class semantic wiki
should
continue to drop, so long as there remains a small but dedicated group
working
to this end.</span><p></p></p>

  <p class="MsoNormal"> <at> Sven Ruby:<br>
the domain fee of 10EUR/Year will be covered by OSCAF, that is not an
issue.
Thats why we have the foundation. Also we could pay the hosting.<br><br>
 <at> Laur M&otilde;tus:<br>
Excellent!<br><br>
What we need now is someone with a feeling for community - a "community
manager"
- someone who likes to keep our wild bunch of Semantic Desktoppers
together -
and can install a wiki+mailinglist<br>
you, dear reader, please do it! think of the fame! all the friends you
get!
organizing hacks! its gonna be awesome <br><br>
so, once someone volunteers we can move to either Sven's server or
Laur's
server. I think as a non-for-profit open source and hacking community,
we can
fulfill most requirements the Estonian IT college LUG has.<br><br>

  <p class="MsoNormal">Hello Semantic Desktoppers, NEPOMUKs, and OSCAFs,<br><br>
We have a community site where we have been collecting all known<br>
semanticdesktop implementations and where we have some FAQs about<br>
semanticdesktop and our past workshops in Berlin and Kaiserslautern,<br>
and the scientific workshops.<br>
... this site should move now to our own administration and maintenance.<br><br><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.semanticdesktop.org" target="_blank">www.semanticdesktop.org</a><br><br>
Really crucial is long-term hosting of this:<br><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies" target="_blank">www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies</a><br><br>
Besides that, these things would be nice to continue, but since the<br>
community was dormant for long, it could also go to sleep...<br>
* a public Wiki with the past and present workshops, tools,<br>
implementations, ontologies etc...<br>
* contination of the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:people@...">people@...</a>
mailinglist<br><br>
Who could host this and maintain this site?<br><br>
We can reuse the server donated &nbsp;by Sven Ruby for OSCAF.org,<br>
but I don't have the time nor skills to long-term maintain a community<br>
software,<br>
I know I screw up things with computers, and a trustable Unix admin<br>
would be better to handle it.<br><br>
best<br>
Leo<br><br>
