The video of our talk at FOSDEM 2010 didn’t come out great, so I’ve made a slidecast of the RDF beginners guide that I gave as part of that talk. Enjoy below!
At FOSDEM we also announced a competition for the coolest hack using RDF, SPARQL and Tracker with the prize kindly sponsored by Codethink. The prize is a Google Nexus One.
After some discussion we’ve decided to open up the competition to everyone and extend the deadline to the 15th of March. So if this tutorial inspires a great idea, get it coded up and submitted! On #tracker on GIMPNet there are great bunch of hackers who can help you get your idea up and running.
There are no hard rules for the competition, we just want to see implementations of cool ideas. The code doesn’t have to be perfect, the only requirement is that the judges can check it out and run it on their systems. All entries should be submitted to tracker-competition@codethink.co.uk by the deadline.

Update!
Looks like I hit a bug in PiTiVi that caused the render to get mangled. I’ve rerendered and it should all be good now. If Vimeo is being slow for you , you can download the ogg here.
Edward, I promise to log a repro as soon as I can!
Hi. Something’s gone wrong with the video. Distorted is an understatement about what happens after about 50 seconds in
Video on vimeo is garbled (using flash 10), though sound seems to work fine.
Something isn’t right with the video
Thanks, but something is not quite right. As soon as you say “here’s our first simple example”, I see this:

Am I the only one to get garbage couloured patterns instead of a video (Debian and Iceweazel) ?
Hey Rob, can you also post a link to the original video file? Vimeo is sometimes slow at this moment :-\
This new video is broken at ~ 8 minutes.
Played flawlessly for me. Nice talk, learnt a thing or two.
Any updates? Any project list? a contest Winner? ?
Ps. Rob, openid auth is broken
