Hi all, Thanks Lewis for inviting me to join the Any23 PMC. As a means of introduction, here are a few words about myself. I first heard of any23 while I was at DERI between 2007 and 2009 when Sindice was getting designed and put into production (they were using a set of script which later became the first version of any23). I was sharing office space with Richard Cyganiak and Gio's team, though I never contributed to any23 back then. Instead, since 2007, I've been focusing on leading the efforts to implement RDFa in Drupal 7 (released in 2011) and more recently in Drupal 8 (to be released Q4 or early next year). A lot has changed since 2007 when it comes to schemas (FOAF, SIOC, DC -> data-vocabulary.org -> schema.org) but the need to have a parser for RDFa and structured data in general has remained. In 2009, I was invited to join the RDFa WG at W3C and I was part of the team that developed RDFa 1.1 and RDFa Lite. That's when I became more involved with the RDFa community and got to know more about the various parsers (in part because we have a list of them at http://rdfa.info/test-suite/). I contributed to the PHP EasyRdf RDFa parser. I'm not a java developer so my contribution to any23 remain limited to filing bug reports, posting very basic patches and testing fixes. Sometimes I may help someone if it has to do with RDFa parsing.
I'm at SemTechBiz [1] this week, so if anyone on this list happens to be in San Jose, please get in touch! Steph.
