To Do

Please check the to do list to see if you can help out.

  • ASAP: Anybody with who can help add hCalendar and hCard markup to the ETech speakers and schedule pages. Email the result to O'Reilly so they can update the pages. Host the marked up version on your own site in the meantime, and for redundancy's sake.

  • All lightning demonstrations should confirm that demonstrations are done, ready, practiced, and timed to complete within 5 minutes. Link to them from here as soon as possible (even drafts) so we can all review and see where everyone is at.
    • Tantek Çelik: working on slides, demo script for hCard and hCalendar import to Apple Address Book and Apple iCal calendaring application.
    • Kevin Marks (Tags demo): status?
    • Rohit Khare (Ångstro demo): status?
    • Mark Pilgrim (Magicline demo): status?
    • Yoz Grahame (Ning demo): status?
    • Shawn Carnell, AOL, http://iamalpha.com, ModuleT: A Microformat for DHTML widgets
    • Joe Gregorio, Secure Syndication, http://bitworking.org/projects/securesyndication/, Experimental/Cutting Edge microformat utilization

Short Summary

This is simply a direct quote from http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/et2006/view/e_sess/8292 :

  • Microformats
  • Tantek Çelik, Technorati, Yoz Grahame, Ning, Rohit Khare, CommerceNet Labs, Kevin Marks, Technorati, Mark Pilgrim, IBM
  • Date: Tuesday, March 07
  • Time: 5:30pm - 6:15pm
  • Location: Elizabeth Ballroom A

Microformats are simple semantic XHTML extensions for expressing numerous common concepts (people, events, etc.) on today's Web. Tantek Çelik will provide a short introduction, followed by a series of speakers performing lightning demonstrations of their microformats enabled tools, sites, hacks and other implementations.

Lightning Demonstrations

Note about the lightning demonstrations. All demonstrations MUST:

  • Use or produce content published in one or more microformats. I suppose that should be obvious. ;)
  • Be completed in 5 minutes from start to finish, including setup time. We are working under strict time constraints, and thus I must cut-off demonstrations at the 5 minute mark so that we have time for the remaining demonstrations. If your demonstration stalls or appears to not work, we will move onto the next demo and if we have time, may come back, so be sure you have practiced your demo and are sure it will work (you can assume presence of a network, but being able to also run locally is a good thing).
  • Demonstrate end user benefit. Showing the code that makes it behind the scenes and discussing the microformats used briefly is good, but strictly secondary to showing something working with actual microformat content.

Longer Session Description

I am working on this here, and will submit to O'Reilly to update on the page for the session: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/et2006/view/e_sess/8292
