Jazoon call for papers
Jazoon is a Java conference taking place in Zürich, Switzerland in the summer, June 23 - 26 2008 to be precise. The Jazoon conference committee has sent out a request for papers. My submission last year "Web 3.0, this is the semantic web" was very well attended. I also met some great folk such as Dean Allemang and Harold Carr. It is a smaller conference so you get more time to meet people than at JavaOne, but they also get some famous people to come along, such as Roy Fielding who gave a keynote presentation.
Anyway, the call for papers is up till the end of December. So hurry up to add your contribution.
I will put forward a talk on a Semantic Address Book that I submitted for this year's JavaOne. The good news there is that there have been at least three talks on the Semantic Web put forward for J1 this year that I directly know about, and indirectly I believe there are a lot more. I really hope that at least three of them will get accepted, which would make for a nice SemWeb track. Hey, there were two talks on the subject at Jazoon! There should be at least the following talks in my opinion at J1:
- a talk to introduce the semantic web and reasoning - even if this touches only slightly on Java
- a talk explaining how a real hyperdata application was written in Java
- a panel on the current state and the future of semantic web tools on the Java platform.
I suppose I should also put something forward for JavaPolis... Anyone know what the deadlines are there?

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
