 * Ontology Summit plans
 * what role can OOR (would want to) play?
 * Mike: "OOR" as a means/tool to educate
 * Mike: if outreach and "educating the public" is part of the agenda, the folks who used to be on W3C's Best Practices and Deployment Working Group and Education and Outreach Interest Group will be good candidates to engage
