Yup. Been running a couple of years. They usually meet over on the
west side so I don't get out to their meetings very often. Their next
one is Tuesday.

Indeed. Nothing succeeds like showing people how to do it the way you
would like to see them do it.

I am not on the research side of Caltech any more. And I don't really
use any sematic tools in my job. But I am still interested to hear how
science and informatics meld and yours sounded like a great talk. Hope
it gets accepted for PyCon and that you can give a practice run at it
some place local so I can come out and hear it.
