I participated in the first teleconference for the DataPortability steering group this morning (at the unearthly hour of 6 AM GMT!) and am glad to say that we had a productive session with participation from an interesting mix of developers, companies, academics, evangelists, researchers and practitioners. Here is the audio recording of the teleconference from J. Trent Adams:

Very interesting, John … thanks for posting this.
While I see some horse and cart issues around scope, the energy seems strong, and Chris is doing a sterling job of keeping things moving regardless… lil’ ozzie battler!
Am looking forward to a concise consensus on the mission, and the next steps … not to metion a peek at Confluence in action.
