Uh huh.

                Social Media Press Release).

        Social Media Release Moving Forward Again

        June 20th, 2007 by Chris Heuer

        I just got off the phone with Shannon Whitley from PRX Builder
        and I am very happy to report that he is taking the lead in
        moving the technical standard for the Microformat forward.

        Subject: Bringing Home hRelease

        As Chris announced on SocialMediaRelease.org, I'm going to be
        helping out with completing the hRelease recommendation and
        getting the working group going again.

        My plan is to focus on the low-hanging fruit first and make
        progress on the core elements of hRelease.

        The working group will focus primarily on technical aspects of
        hRelease.  Don't worry, though, the final recommendation will
        not be decided by a bunch of gearheads.  Recommendations will be
        presented to this group for review and discussion.

Interestingly, Brian Oberkirch isn't mentioned on either of the first
two pages; nor does he appear amongst the recent posters on the latter
mailing list.

Perhaps someone should tell him?
