FOAF conference in Galway, Ireland
I’m here in a quaint university town named Galway, Ireland - which is Europe’s furthest west city. It’s got some old Spanish ruins and lots of frsh faced Irish semantic engineers.

Our hosts are SWAD and DERI - and there are loads of semantic web/W3C types here - all discussing how they’re using FOAF.
I’m here to talk about and show FOAFnet - an industry consortium we’ve got to support FOAF in commercial systems.
This is the first international FOAF confab. There’s folks here from Japan, Arabia, Eastern Europe and all over Europe and the U.S.

Hi Marc,
Galway is a fine place, but I think you will find that you have been misled about its westerliness. You will find that Galway in fact lies east of Lisbon in Portugal.
Might see you down there tomorrow sometime.
