Re: [wsdm] WSDM interop in GGF14

[David Snelling <David.Snelling@UK.Fujitsu.com>]

Fred,

Hosting an interop is certainly an activity that I know the GGF would 
be happy to help with should the TC be interested. I am happy to put 
the TC in touch with the organizers of either GGF14 or GGF15. GGF15 
will be a larger working group plus main plenary track meeting which 
would a better place to announce big splash kind of statements to a 
wider audience.

It might be an idea to do the interop like activity at GGF14 and a 
splash at GGF15. Another possibility would be to collocate one of the 
OASIS interop fests (covering many TC's activities) with a GGF.
