Time

8:30pm - 9:30pm PDT

Location

Terrace Room, Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, California, USA

Overview

For the last 2 years at "Where 2.0" conference, the Microformats BoF brought together key folks in the geo and microformats communities and together we were able to brainstorm and develop the "geo" and "adr" microformats, now widely deployed, and begin discussions for sharing directions. Now hcard, adr and geo are widely published and used, what other interoperable data needs do we have?
