NYCPHP Meetup

[Josh McCormack]

Speaking of FOAF, anyone have any thoughts or opinions on existing FOSS 
FOAF software, discussion type stuff that would power a site like 
Friendster, Rzye, Monster Networking, etc? Any interest in working on an 
existing project to do this?

1) When asking questions and posting on this or any mailing list, please
provide as much detail as possible.  Short and overly-simplistic
postings generate unneeded list traffic and make it difficult to work
through problems.

2) Let's take this off-list - it has nothing to do with PHP or anything
AMP.

3) Since Mailman is Python, I'll mention the NYPHP Python SIG;
http://nyphp.org/lists

Thanks guys,
