Quick event note: We have added the Web 3.0 Conference in Santa Clara, CA to our schedule.

Tom Tague, Calais initiative lead, will be a panelist in two sessions on Thursday, October 16th:

We hope to meet as many members of the OpenCalais community as possible.  Toward that end, here is a list of the September events where we are presenting and/or holding workshops. 

We would love to see you there, so let us know if you can make it!

The Calais team is heading to some great events this fall, including the Defrag Conference in Denver, Colorado, Nov. 3 - 4, 2008.

Time Sensitive Defrag Discount: The Defrag gang has kindly offered a special discount for the OpenCalais community.

The discounted rate -- $100 off the early bird registration fee (so $895.00) -- is only available through the end of this month.   

We've just done a fun interview with The Guardian's Jemima Kiss, which you can find here: http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/digitalcontent/2008/08/reuters_labs_brews_more_conten.html

As you can see, Reuters Spotlight Content API, found at http://spotlight.reuters.com, now features integration with Calais, enabling you to build news apps that include fully metatagged Reuters news.
