Dear readers,

I have been silent for a while, and there are reasons for it. I moved to a new apartment in a much more vivid neighborhood (near Bastille). Compared to Champ de Mars, this new neighborhood has brought light into my life. All the noise, people everywhere, day and night; rich and poor; drunk and busy; everything at once…simply life.

I have also started my PhD at Hypios.com – one of the most interesting places to be in Paris today. Hypios is a startup that is trying to build a marketplace for problems and solutions. It is trying to grow a social network that will be capable to respond to complex problems faced by serious companies. It will enable everybody to put their competences to use. My topic is to develop Social and Semantic Web infrastructure to support this Social Network of problem solvers. It will therefore involve competency modeling, linking competency data to the Linked Data cloud, and many more things. You may expect more ideas on this soon on this blog.

Finally, I’ve got a Mac at Hypios just to make another “new” in the blogpost title
