- submit last year's communique to Applied Ontologies Journal [attn: Steve] - Steve contacted MichaelGruninger who will be working on it (1DUR)
- (from last week): Leo and Steve will try to provide input by last Tue, suggest we give Michael a go ahead even if there is no input. (1DUS)
- Peter: suggested SteveRay to be included as co-author, but Steve worried that this may take too long to clear NIST, and suggested that the organizers (which include him) be mentioned in the paper instead (1DXP)

- Discussions: (1DUT)

- Mark: we should have demos; if not at the sessions, maybe in the evenings, during the Tuesdays breaks, during lunch, etc. (1DV0)
- Steve: doing it at the hotel would be more straight-forward (cost about same at hotel or at NIST in the evening), NIST will cover cost of hotel room, but if we need refreshments, we will have to find an outside sponsor. (1DV1)
- Steve will ping FrankOlken on (i) having Frank also champion the demos, as part of the [state-of-art] thread, and (ii) suggest he adds a co-champion (1DV2)
- demo: venue, time, constraints - firewall, etc. (1DV3)
- bulletin board (1DV4)
- BOF gatherings (1DV5)
- we will pursue the possibility of having a demo segment, but will only decide to go ahead if we can do a proper job with it. (1DV6)
- (from last week): to be decided at the next meeting (1DV7)
- conclusion: we will feature this as a casual evening event; get people to sign up to demonstrate, and participants could just use the time to sees demos or network (1DXU)
- champion - besides Frank (who would have been ideal) ... let's try KenBaclawski who is also on the logistics committee -- Steve will contact Ken on this (1DXV)
- Peter will set up a wiki page that interested parties (who have a demo to make) could sign up on (1DXW)
