@channel Hello, all! If you'd like to join a vibrant ongoing discussion of all things KG and ontology, keep reading - and let us know your availability for our weekly meetings in this Doodle poll: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dJ8WQwva This gathering is the evolution of the ontology study group that grew out of Dean Allemang's book club a couple of years ago. The group has morphed into a general KG and ontology conversational gathering. Our intent going forward is to create more structured gatherings that meet on a two-week cadence, with a presentation the first week and follow-up discussions, as well as open conversation, the follow week. We want to find a time that works for the most people for this meeting. Our hope is to both welcome others in the KGC community into these discussions and to also accommodate our long-time group members, hence the US- and Europe-friendly hours in the Doodle poll.

@channel New channel 🔒[private feed] for all your questions regarding the upcoming conference. The whole KGC team will be there monitoring including our logistics master Meg S. and attendee concierge Catalina

We have had many folks joining this slack over the past year. I am sure many folks could be interested if you are trying to give the group a new start
