I will be speaking at XML summer school (wadham college, oxford, 30th july 2004) about the state of xml for end users. i will look at XML authoring and blogging as 2 areas where end users get in contact with XML. the talk will be followed by a panel discussion with andrew orlowski (the register), peter rodgers (1060.com) and steve pepper (ontopia.net), chaired by lauren wood (textuality). it's bound to be interesting with panelists like these :)

I pulled together and chaired a day on “What’s Hot and What’s Not? which was extremely thought-provoking. I certainly came back with lots of ideas from it, and others who attended said the same.
