Hi,

I've been browsing the commons-research list archives and am curious whether presentations / meetings / workshops other than for papers are possible to suggest for this lab?

Specifically, I'd be curious to sit down with the research-oriented participants and discuss the tools and data sets they are using, how they're using them, the issues surrounding open data availability, and so on. If there's interest in this, I'm happy to submit a session or moderate one.

To provide a quick overview, my own research focuses on social network analysis and machine learning in the blogosphere, though I also do a lot of work in international development. There's two open source tools I've developed over the last 1.5 years or so: http://www.egotistics.net and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/R_and_Calc

While I don't feel any of this merits a paper submission, I would be very interested in meeting with others to hear about their software, challenges to research, and potential ways we can collaborate. Would anyone else be interested in this?

Thanks,
Wojciech
