  • "Demo evening" - we will feature this as a casual evening event at the hotel on Mon 2008.04.28; participants can sign up to give demonstration of their current Ontology repository and registry work, or just spend the time to see those demos or network with other participants. NIST will pay for the room. No coffee or refreshment (as things stand.)
    • champion - besides Frank (who would have been ideal) ... let's try Ken Baclawski who is also on the logistics committee -- Steve will contact Ken on this - Ken confirmed!
    • Peter will set up a wiki page that interested parties (who have a demo to make) could sign up on - Ken has this started already - see: OntologySummit2008_Demonstrations

    • anyone who has registered by Fri 4/25 will get time allocated to the projector - more like 5~10 minute slots; preference given to live demos rather than slide-demos;
  • Michelle / Peter: (ref. new rulings at NIST, coffee will not be served for the workshop; but people could buy themselves coffee at the cafeteria, which is close enough to the meeting venue) maybe we could get a sponsor to sponsor the coffee etc. <-- agreed that we'll try to conclude by this organizing committee call
    • decided we'll just have people buy their own coffee or refreshments from the cafeteria themselves (it will be just across the hall.)
