We're live now in the latest episode of RWW Live, our podcast show. You can tune into the show, and interact with us via the chat, by clicking here. You can also use the Calliflower Facebook app to tune in and participate.
This week's topic is Data Portability, the ongoing campaign for open data across the Web. We have an amazing group of Data Portability leaders lined up for this call: Chris Saad (Co-founder, DataPortability.org), Daniela Barbosa (Chair, DataPortability.org), Eran Hammer-Lahav (Open Standards Evangelist, Yahoo), and Angus Logan (Technical Product Manager for Windows Live Platform, Microsoft).
When Daniela was named Chair of the Data Portability Working Group in August, we posted an introduction to the organization. It makes for good background reading, and/or you can check out the video below.
Before the call starts, we're interested in what questions you have for the panelists. Please leave a comment on this post and one of the RWW crew on the call (Sean, Marshall and myself) will do our best to ask your question.
UPDATE: the show is now finished, here is the audio:

I sat in on the call a bit and it prompted me to make this screencast of the Open-CI system which is running now and which is solving many of the problems that dataportability is trying to solve: http://www.viddler.com/explore/illustir/videos/1/

I'm not familiar with the DataPortability.org group, thanks for bringing them to our attention. This is an important topic for anyone that uses more than one website or piece of software (i.e., everyone) and often becomes the deciding factor in my use and selection. As soon as any data is in a standard, portable format, it becomes significantly more flexible and therefore, valuable.
