LODLAM Summit 2011

We’ve emailed all LOD-LAM Summit invitations and travel offerings at this point, so if you have applied to attend the Summit and have not received a response, please let me know. To be clear: every applicant was sent a response, so if you didn’t receive anything, please contact me. We’re having an awful time with spam filters.

Of course, we had more attendees than we could afford to get here physically, but hope to continue the conversation online here and at regional conferences and meetups in the coming years. There are so many great projects in the works and one thing we hope to do right off the bat is disseminate a list of the many LOD-LAM projects in action already. Thanks to everyone who took the time to put in an application for the Summit or the earlier survey—there’s no question that there’s a demand for more information and resources for this developing field.

Applications are now closed. Thanks to everyone who applied and helped spread the word. We received an overwhelming response and will do our best to facilitate as many participants as possible. Official invitations will be sent via e-mail on Monday March 7.

We realize that with larger institutions there are often multiple qualified individuals, and we’re trying to find a way to facilitate that. If space permits and institutions cover travel costs of additional delegates, we may be able to facilitate two delegates from bigger institutions, assuming they are from different departments or schools, etc. Unfortunately, we won’t really know if that’s possible until Feb. 28. If you have several people very interested in attending, we suggest that you submit multiple individual applications and make note of the preferred person in the notes.

Applications are now open for the International Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives, and Museums Summit, taking place in San Francisco June 2-3, 2011.

We will be accepting applications beginning at 8am, PST February 1, 2011, and closing 5pm PST, February 28, 2011. Participants will be selected and notified by March 7, 5pm PST.

We’re pleased to announce that the International Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives, and Museums Summit will be held in San Francisco, CA USA June 2-3, 2011.

You can read about the details on the About page, but the important thing to remember is that applications will open on Feb. 1, 2011.  We encourage you to apply early, as the window will only be open until Feb. 28, 2011.  Feel free to disseminate this news far and wide.
