W3C has launched the concepts of Community and Business Groups a few weeks ago. These groups are easy-to-create, open groups for developers, with only very few strings attached (essentially, one has to have a W3C account, public or member, to join the group). In two weeks, 18 groups have been created, which is a significant number in my view.

In those 18 groups, here are the groups that closely to the activities of the Linked Data and Semantic Web communities:

It is great to see all these groups having been created in 2 weeks and in vacation times! And I am sure new groups will come, so better watch this space…
