[Developers] Freebase Hack Day II - Unconference Session Topics

[tfmorris at gmail.com]

I've shared a document with you called "Freebase Hack Day II - Unconference  
Session Topics":  
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dg6cqrkj_22g98kw5c4&invite=747240920 It's not  
an attachment -- it's stored online at Google Docs. To open this document,  
just click the link above. --- Here's the beginnings of a Google Doc with  
suggested session topics for the unconference portion of Freebase Hack Day  
II this Saturday. Please add descriptions for any topics that you are  
interested in. If you suggest a topic, be prepared to help lead/facilitate  
the discussion - it's only fair! Note that there are only three conference  
rooms and a limited number of hours, so the actual session topics won't get  
decided until Hack Day itself when the organizers find out who's interested  
in what.

Description

Jason Douglas
New Features of Acre 1.0 Hosted Application Platform
Demo and description of the new Acre 1.0 features including including the  
ability to share and clone apps, connect to other APIs with our keystore  
and OAuth, and build queries and templated web pages based on Freebase data

Bryan Culbertson
MQL Boot Camp
Learn how to query against Freebase's structured data and see the new  
features of our query editor, including tab-completion for syntax and  
schema.


Freebase and W3C Standards
Hear about the relationship between Freebase and Linked Open Data as well  
as W3C standards such as RDF and SPARQL.  Understand how Freebase can be  
used with DBpedia, UMBEL, and other Semweb data sources.

Games with a Purpose
Brian Karlak (venkat) is organizing hacking on this topic, but I'd be  
interested in a little talking too.  What common facilities like  
leaderboards, queues, attribution mechanisms, etc can we share among  
games?  Which of these are available only in certain hosting environments?


Open Government and Freebase
I think we'll have a number of open government types about, so I'm sure  
they'll want to get together.  Replace this description with something more  
meaningful to you'all.
