Anjum is at UM. He does have access to the Internet from the Lab but its a shared place and he cannot attend meetings while in the Lab. For meetings, either he shall attend it from his home, or from the common room of the building.
- Johari proposes that UTM host a PingER workshop in 2014, maybe associated with another conference.
Adib suggested a summer school that is aimed at graduate students and researchers from different disciplines where everyone needs to be present for team presentations based on case studies/assignments given to each team. Each team will be mentored by one professional researcher (from PingER Current Member) to guide and advise. The Summer School activities will include: Keynote talk, Presentations on current projects related to Pinger that open up challenges for students to solve and address, and case studies (assignments based on the presentations) for each team of students.
- Johari talked to Adib who is interested in hosting the workshop at UUM. They believe that with Anjum in Malaysia, the main cost is for Les. Johari shared the information from the previous 2 workshops and it is believed it is good value for money. Given this, it appears the funding required is achievable. There may also be a possibility for a presentation by Les to a more public audience at the ITU Research Center, as well as the possibility of getting sponsors and requiring a registration fee for private sector people. Adib will put together a proposal and take it to the UUM Vice Chancellor.

realized that testing on Virtuoso is going to take longer than he thought because of the big number of triples. He did not have enough time to continue his tests.
Renan is still writing the paper, though. Unfortunately, he is slow because of his job... He hopes to have it finished soon, since the submission date is March 1st.
Renan did not not see Vinicius (the admin of the UFRJ PingER monitor). We can try to contact him via email again (maybe in the end of February?). If he doesn´t reply, Renan can try to talk to him in person again.
Renan started testing Virtuoso last weekend. He now has the data in an easily exchangeable format so he can transfer it from the earlier repository he was using (OWLIM) to the new one (Virtuoso). That is what he is trying to do this week: upload to the Virtuoso database. The main problem for me is that he can use only 2 hours a day to work, because of his job.

It would be good if somebody else was able to work with Renan to move PingER LOD forward. However we think the performance issue has to be resolved first.
