we tried to impress each other: I from Germany, Europe was wearing the SWAD-E tshirt to impress inkel, Inkel from Buenos Aires, Argentina, tried to impress me by wearing his SWAD-E tshirt. We both were happy and surprised that we wore the same tshirt for a semantic web beer&coffee meeting.

I do like this pic :) Reminds me we did some pretty good things in that project. We went for beer with Kate Sharp last night, who did a fantastic job project managing such a peculiar project. I remember telling the evaluators in our EU assessment meeting that we decided the best way to get the Semantic Web built (given our budget constraints :) was through giving away t-shirts to smart developers around the world...

About the shirt: the original graphics are online and Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons licensed. Only bitmaps at the moment; maybe we could ask Liz for SVG sometime...

It doesn't say on the shirt itself, but the design is based on TimBL's original "Semantic Web" roadmap from back in '94. We used some words from that talk on the corresponding postcard, which is kinda reconstructed in the page with the graphics.

Here's Tim's original graphic. Liz's design is much nicer I think! But the idea is just the same, except 10 years later, we were able to decorate it with real markup, real namespaces, ... :)
