- Implementation Fest dates and tentative agenda
- Tentative dates are April 15-16th OR April 22-23, both being Monday-Tuesday – hoping to finalize by early next week
- One thought was to have a balance between content oriented to early-stage evaluators and helping to gel and support existing users. Are leaning toward inviting new adopters but including activities focused on addressing challenges on the technical and ontology side as well.
- This might lead to a schedule with intro presentations the morning of the first day leading into hands-on session working on documentation
- There could also be a third day focusing on a development project such as internationalization where a group of people might be able to make significant headway together in one day
- Who might come
- Brown – like the working session idea, and expect to be able send 1-3 people
- UF – would be helpful to address remaining gaps; Nicholas Rejack as the official VIVO data steward would be a good person to come
- Weill – willing to share feedback on the requirements and data cleanup, completeness, and performance
- Buffalo – would like to have some intro sessions to get people fired up, but also people interested in real nuts and bolts discussions
- Could also be a way for people from different sites to get together and develop workshop materials for the conference
- Simon Porter is experimenting with Joseki over Oracle as a semantic triple store at Melbourne
- Internationalization – Jim has worked out the framework and recommends a pattern that has been tested in a couple of proofs of concept, but extracting the English out of all the templates and in some cases the controllers as well is a fair amount of work.
- Can we put out out the template and request others to help with one template/controller pair at a time?
- Jim has checked in the examples completed so far and is creating wiki pages to document the recommended approach.
- This might lend itself to be a collective distributed path, including participation from native speakers of other languages
