Hi Juan,
I think that's a nice idea and I would like to join the event. Btw, we
are planning a similar event in Vienna, located and scheduled near
ESTC 2009, which we call "Linked Data Camp", more about this will be
posted soon under <http://www.linkeddatacamp.org> and <http://twitter.com/linkeddatacamp
>.
Best,
Bernhard

Hi everybody,
Chatting with John Goodwin, and idea came up of organizing a Linked
Data
mash-a-thon during ISWC. There is a lot of Linked Data out there,
enough
tools to do cool stuff, and this is the biggest semantic web
meeting, so why
not show the world the cool things that can be done with Linked
Data, in a
short period of time. I haven't thought about details, but this
could run
for the whole conference, or have an afternoon session where
everybody comes
in and codes up an mashup. We can then showcase what we have done as
1 min
lightning talks. My objective is to get people out of this community
excited
about Linked Data and what they can do with it.
Anybody interested in participating and/or helping organize.
