Leftmost: were I to try to plan some sort of north-american MB meetup, is there any sort of schedule that'd be better for you? I'm trying to cast about and see what people feel like
demosdemon, if you'd be interested, likewise

ianmcorvidae, not really. Christmas isn't a great time, but those are the only solid plans I have.
ianmcorvidae
fair enough
I was thinking early next year, probably, since holidays are terrible

Early next year would be just fine, I imagine.
An NA summit would be great.
ianmcorvidae
yeah; I'm still fuzzy on what all we'd do/talk about
but I think we'd figure something out :P
Leftmost
No doubt. :)
Any feedback on any of the plans spelled out earlier for BB?
ianmcorvidae
not really
the discussion seemed pretty good, anyway
I don't have a clear vision or anything though
warp
needs more RDF!
Leftmost
Even after all this time I still don't really see the RDF use case and no one has managed yet to explain it.
warp
Leftmost: rdf just allows different datasources to easily talk about the same things.
ianmcorvidae
it's overlapping with a lot of things, it's true
what I really like about it is how much power you can get out of such a simple model
I mean, RDF has... I guess two types of things? triples and URIs
where MB has a bunch of entities and aliases and IDs and etc.
Leftmost
warp, provided they've chosen the same ontology, of course. And I guess I just don't see it being used to good effect as often as one would hope.
ianmcorvidae
I agree that it has a lot of unrealized promise though :)
warp
Leftmost: I haven't seen it used a lot (yet) in the places where it would be useful.
Leftmost: so I'm mostly interested in it in the sense that if I eventually manage to set up my videogamebrainz thing, I want to link to soundtracks and artists in musicbrainz, perhaps to writers in bookbrainz, etc..
Leftmost
The two things I've found telling were the simple typo in MB's generated RDF that went unnoticed for a very long time and the fact that I wasn't able to find a basic book ontology.
ianmcorvidae
well, nobody actually uses the MB one IIRC :P

I'm definitely strongly leaning toward focusing heavily on database structure for now. I would really like to ape the changes to MB going forward and I think that's going to be difficult until bitmap is in place and plans start being made for transition.

Every time I learn a new framework I feel like an idiot.
