[9:33] TimFinin: Some items for today... [] We need to decide on the refreshments and get them ordered from the caterer (Geppetto) today. Who will order (Angela Carter?). Maybe we should go with coffee for 85 people and snacks for 60 in the morning. We need to see what money we have promised. I'm unsure how we arrange for the payments, given the several sponsors. [] We need to review what slides have been submitted and ping for those outstanding/ [] We should have someone identified to introduce each invited speaker and put their name on the agenda. [] we may want to note on the agenda which presentations will be done remotely, if only to avoid confusion. [] Let's go with The Front Page (4201 Wilson Boulevard) for the dinner. Someone needs to make an initial reservation for 20-25 people at 6:30. Who will make reservation and by when (e.g., Friday?). We should have a sign-up sheet or form onsite for people to use so we can note any change in the number to convey to the restaurant. [] we can use one or two more panelists. I guess I'll remove carol bean, so we only have four, even with me. Need to get Mike Gruninger to send panelists the questions by Friday. [] Ram and Tim may want to have at least one slide for the opening and for the closing remarks. Send to Peter Yim? [] we may want to let online participants know that they can suggest a BOF session for the end of day 2. They could send a design to organize one (title, organizers) to finin[at]umbc.edu [] Participants who are in Arlington Sunday evening and interested in joining up for a pre-symposium dinner can meet at the lobby of the Westin Arlington Gateway (the conference hotel) at 7:00pm. [9:37] MarkFox: I forgot to mention that I have to leave at 1:30pm EDT. [9:40] PeterYim: ALL: please capture pertinent details into the chat-board for the record [9:42] anonymous morphed into LamarHenderson [9:45] MarkFox: I'll sponsor donuts from costco for Tuesday afternoon. [9:46] RamSriram: I can get bars and drinks for Monday afternoon [9:49] MarkFox: Can you create a sheet that identifies each time period to sponsor, what is being provided, who the sponsor is, who is providing the food, and what is the cost. [9:54] LeoObrst: Yes, we don't want to end up duplicating breakfast/afternoon snack material and costs. [9:55] MichaelGruninger: It looks like there is a Costco in Pentagon City [9:56] MarkFox: What is being provided for breakfast? [9:58] LeoObrst: Here's the estimate from Amanda's (Tuesday) email: >> For estimates: serving 66 people >> * breakfast-snack (w/ coffee-tea) - $1200 per day >> * coffee-tea - $300 per serving (say day-1 morning, or Day-2 afternoon, etc.) [9:58] MarkFox: What is the snack? [9:59] MarkFox: Starbucks delivers. [9:59] LeoObrst: I don't know the definition of "snack" here. [10:01] MarkFox: I agree with Ram, have caterer supply coffee, we can get the rest. [10:02] AmandaVizedom: @MarkFox what is your email - I will send you the Caterer's specs [10:02] MarkFox: msf[at]eil.utoronto.ca [10:04] LeoObrst: [re. Opening] We (Michael & I) still will supply a short couple of slides. [10:05] ChristophLange: I will finish the Track B slides in the hours after this call. [10:05] MikeBennett: I will complete the slides for the Reuse hackathon today. [10:07] anonymous morphed into FrancescaQuattri [10:07] FrancescaQuattri: Hi All, sorry for being late [10:09] PeterYim: [action] PeterYim to label all presentations that will be made remotely [10:10] MarcelaVegetti: Hi! Sorry for my late join. [10:14] MatthewWest: [ref. Peter's question to those who were here in previous years whether they remember how many people were at the group dinner] I don't recall [10:14] MikeBennett: @Peter can't remember re dinner numbers. We had at least a couple of tables upstairs at the Dogfish. Not sure it was as any as 25. [10:27] PeterYim: @MatthewWest, @MikeBennett, thanks anyway. [10:21] PeterYim: [action] TimFinin will make reservation for the group dinner on Day-1 ... and then setup a doodle poll (which will be sent out to the [ontology-summit] list to get some feedback and estimates [10:22] MichaelGruninger: Proposed Questions for Panelists: * What are the biggest opportunities for applying ontologies to Semantic Web and Big Data problems? * Is there any low-hanging fruit? If not, what additional work needs to be done by the Applied Ontology community? * Are there any key features/requirements of Semantic Web and Big Data applications which are being ignored or downplayed by the Applied Ontology community? * What differences in priorities and perspectives are preventing more collaboration among the Applied Ontology, Semantic Web, and Big Data communities? [10:17] LeoObrst: [re. availability as a panelist] Can we confirm with CarolBean? [10:24] PeterYim: [action] MichaelGruninger will call CarolBean about her availability on the day-2 panel [10:29] MikeBennett: [@TimFinin on the FIBO BOF] And yes FIBO is pronounced Fye'boh not Fee'boh. [10:32] TimFinin: fye'boh. Thanks! [10:32] AmandaVizedom: Note about refreshment gaps: No afternoon coffee break is scheduled, and lunch is on the late side, so lack of sponsored afternoon refreshments is not so conspicuous. [10:33] PeterYim: [action] RamSriram - when sending email to AngelaCarter and FouadRamia ref wifi connections, please remind them we need two wired Internet connections too (ask if we would need special credentials to access those ports on the table) [10:34] MarkFox: I have to go. See you all Monday. [10:34] PeterYim: see you then, Mark! [10:36] PeterYim: [consensus] MichaelGruninger and LeoObrst will be co-chairs for the day-2 panel [10:37] PeterYim: great session!
