For those who don't need to leave right away there's typically a more social discussion at a local pub afterwards.
Agenda
Integrating the World, One City at a Time
Freebase is a freely licensed social database, containing structured data about more than 4 million topics. The Vancouver Base (see vancouver.freebase.com) is a collection of topics within Freebase, containing a wide range of 'hyperlocal' information, specifically about Vancouver, BC, Canada. Jim will show some examples of data-rich apps and mashups built with Freebase, Acre, and open data from the Vancouver Base. Additionally, Jim will talk about ways to integrate information from Freebase and the Semantic Web with Drupal.
Real World Mini-Case Study: This could your website!
We still have a slot available for a mini-case study if someone wants to come forward. Please contact Dale if you'd like to present.
Drupal Q&A
Bring your questions on anything related to Drupal from how to do something technical in PHP to what modules are needed to implement a feature you want.
