[Forwarded from semediawiki-user, apologies for cross-posting] (This is about the Semantic MediaWiki User Conference Fall 2012, see http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Fall_2012) Dear all, the program for the upcoming SMWCon in Cologne is becoming more and more stable [1]. Most talks should be at their almost final location now. There are quite a few highlights that are worth mentioning: * We have two exciting keynote talks by Denny Vrandecic (Wikimedia Germany e.V.) and Peter Haase (fluidOps): Denny will introduce Wikidata, the next big thing for Wikipedia, and the underlying software Wikibase. The co-operation of SMW and Wikidata will be an important topic of this SMWCon. Peter will introduce the Information Workbench, a semantic knowledge management solution by fluidOps. For the first time, SMWCon will include a number of talks on related systems that are not SMW. Other highlights in this category include OntoWiki, BlueSpice, SlideWiki, and the Drupal-based Planetary System. I am sure that it will be insightful and inspiring to exchange experiences with these projects. * We'll have a number of practical experience talks. I am particularly looking forward to the insights of Wikia Inc., presented by Krzysztof Krzyżaniak (eloy). * Joel Natividad will join us live from NY to report about his award-winning sites and new smart city projects. * And of course there will be plenty of updates on SMW and its old and new extensions, including a number of presentations about using SMW in completely new ways. The tutorial day will leave more space for discussions and practical work, especially to discuss problems and ideas with the developers (as usual, we will have a very high concentration of those). As a special "non-semantic" tutorial, Yury Katkov will share his first-hand experience in fighting spam on semanticweb.org and semantic-mediawiki.org, a topic that concerns many public SMW sites.

Hi Scott! We will do our best to organize the live stream but at the moment there is no guarantee. In any case, we will record the video from the conference and make it available for everyone after the conference. ----- Yury Katkov On Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 10:48 PM, Scott MacLeod <helianth(a)gmail.com> wrote:
