manager and Keeper of the Keys and Source, is passing on the hat. Let's
everyone give a big welcome to Steve Fink, who's agreed to take up the
position." Thanks for the work Jeff... now Steve, get the whip cracking!

They need 3,000 subscribers to move forward.

_Shelley Powers_: &#8220;I thought the stuff this weekend on FOAF was a joke[1]
&#8212;a bunch of people playing with new toys. ... How does FOAF aid
aggregation? The author is included with each bit. Why do we need extraneous
material such as college, and who the author knows?&#8221;
_Seth Russell_: &#8220;For example I wanted to know who _you_ were[2]. Only
thing I had was your posts to this list. So i found "burningbird.net" in your
email address ... then i did a lot of reading over there. Still don't really
know who your are and what you are into, what projects you are working on, who
you know, and why you came here to run your mouth. But if there were a foaf
button on the feed from this channel, well I just click on that and i'm totally
into your stuff.&#8221;
