Hello everyone, I wanted to announce the upcoming Semantic MediaWiki Camp, or SMW Camp, which will be held in Karlsruhe, Germany just about a month now, on the weekend of November 7-8. This event is the successor to previous meetings of the SMW community (though it's the first with the "SMW Camp" name), and it will feature many of the developers of SMW and its related extensions, including Markus Krötzsch, Denny Vrandecic, the team behind the Halo extension, myself and others. Even for those who have never used SMW but are simply curious about it, I think this will be a worthwhile event: the first day will feature tutorials about the SMW system, including how-to demonstrations and SMW's place in both the wiki and semantic-web worlds; so newcomers will be able to get a full hands-on understanding of the system.
The registration fee for the entire event is 15 euros. You can see more information about the event, and register, here:

I hope to see some of you in Karlsruhe!
