Bryan Culbertson/Alec Flett

Colin Evans(?)
Freebase and W3C Standards
Hear about the relationship between Freebase and Linked Open Data as well as W3C standards such as RDF and SPARQL.  Understand how Freebase can be used with DBpedia, UMBEL, and other Semweb data sources.
Tom Morris
Games with a Purpose
Brian Karlak (zenkat) is organizing hacking on this topic, but I'd be interested in a little talking too.  What common facilities like leaderboards, queues, attribution mechanisms, etc can we share among games?  Which of these are available only in certain hosting environments?
Raymond Yee [and others? maybe Silona?]
Open Government and Freebase
I think we'll have a number of open government types about, so I'm sure they'll want to get together.  Replace this description with something more meaningful to you'all.
Kirrily Robert
Freebase 101
Last year this was a fairly popular session.  We just ran it as a general Q&A for people who were new to Freebase.  Early in the morning (i.e. first unconf slot) seems like the best time for it.
Jeff Prucher
Schema workshop
Another one that went well last year, and Jeff said he'd reprise.  A general session on how to model schema in Freebase.
Will Moffat
 Using Freebase data on your website
Will implemented the Freebase film listings on the Wall Street Journal website.  He'll talk about how you can use Freebase data to enrich your own webpages.
Jure Cuhalev
Zemanta
I hear the Zemanta guys want to have a session about their stuff -- hopefully they'll edit this :)
Sid Gabriel
Acre, DBpedia, GPS and Mobile Phones
See how a simple Acre app can provide global, multilingual data for a mobile, terrestrially aware product. (short walk through the acre app, followed by a demo where I stalk my ex-girlfriend. --with permission)
Raymond Yee (proposer)
The Hard Work of Reconciliation
I would love to see a session on the best and emerging practices around how to do reconciliation in Freebase, how to use the Freebase reconciliation API and the Freebase Suggest jQuery plugin.
John Merrells (proposer)

Information Extraction
and/or
Location Information
I've been working on information extraction of known named entities, using Freebase as a dictionary... if other people are working in this area I'd love to exchange ideas on this.
Secondly, I'm just starting to explore the location data in Freebase and would like to learn some more about that data, and how people are making use of it.
