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

ianmcorvidae, not really. Christmas isn't a great time, but those are the only solid plans I have.

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.

yeah; I'm still fuzzy on what all we'd do/talk about
2013-10-01 27427, 2013
ianmcorvidae
but I think we'd figure something out :P

No doubt. :)

Any feedback on any of the plans spelled out earlier for BB?

not really

the discussion seemed pretty good, anyway

I don't have a clear vision or anything though

needs more RDF!

Even after all this time I still don't really see the RDF use case and no one has managed yet to explain it.

Leftmost: rdf just allows different datasources to easily talk about the same things.
2013-10-01 27436, 2013
ianmcorvidae
it's overlapping with a lot of things, it's true
2013-10-01 27459, 2013
ianmcorvidae
what I really like about it is how much power you can get out of such a simple model
2013-10-01 27418, 2013
ianmcorvidae
I mean, RDF has... I guess two types of things? triples and URIs
2013-10-01 27437, 2013
ianmcorvidae
where MB has a bunch of entities and aliases and IDs and etc.

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.
2013-10-01 27401, 2013
ianmcorvidae
I agree that it has a lot of unrealized promise though :)
2013-10-01 27401, 2013
warp
Leftmost: I haven't seen it used a lot (yet) in the places where it would be useful.
2013-10-01 27402, 2013
warp
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..
2013-10-01 27400, 2013

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.
2013-10-01 27429, 2013
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.
