Optional Workshop:
From Reed S. at The Cambridge Semantic Web Meetup Group:
We're running a week long Linked Data workshop/competition in January that should be a lot of fun. If you have any MIT affiliation we would love for you to apply for a place. We can also accommodate a few others from industry. It is a hands-on product development lab so we are looking for coders and entrepreneurs who want to create something that can have a sustainable impact on the web whether it is an open source project, a nucleus for a new business, or an entry into the MIT $100K competition.
