What is STEAMY?
Free software community is constantly populating tons of information about several aspects of its nature. This information lacks an uniform representation format what makes impossible for machines to understand it and, most importantly, to link it together. But when everything seemed lost, Semantic Web came in rescue!
The aim of STEAMY is to enumerate, discover, represent, mine and link free software community data sources. In short, we'd like to add as many bubbles at Linkeddata.org as possible.
STEAMY would also like to act as a meeting point for people working worldwide on applied semantic technologies. As we don't like to reinvent the wheel, we'd like to know from people working on related stuff. In case you were working on something that could fit here, we will be pleased to hear from you and try to join our efforts, everybody wants a more meaningful web!
Technologies we're making use of
Information will be modeled using ontologies, represented through RDF and queried via SPARQL.
Software products will be hosted in a public GIT repository and published under the terms of the MIT software license.
Achivements
Unfortunately, STEAMY has just started and we haven't much to show up to now.
At the moment we're trying to identify data sources and discovering what work is already being done.

STEAMY is a very wide project, it covers a big set of data sources therefore any help is much appreciated. Either if you're developing ontologies, building rdfizers, or just wanting to help the free software community somehow you're welcome.
Don't think about it, just drop a mail to Nacho Barrientos with few lines about your projects, ideas, results, rants...
