Here is a bit on the meeting:

Extreme is a technical conference devoted to markup, markup languages, markup systems, markup applications, and software for manipulating and exploiting markup. Not to everyone's taste: too technical for some, too theoretical for some, too abstract for some - perfect for you? At Extreme Markup Languages software developers, tag set designers, librarians, computer scientists, linguists, markup theorists, taxonomists, publishers, lexicographers, typographers, and other XML bricklayers and pipefitters devote the better part of a week to discussing questions like:

-Will RDF or Topic Maps ever take off?
-Is XML sufficiently invisible to be considered a success?
-Who said documents went away?
-Do you FO?
-Will Office 2003 change everything? Anything?
-How does a Topic Map mean?
-Will the schema language chaos hurt XML?
-Got metadata?
-Should we sign a tag set nonproliferation pledge?
-Can validation co-exist with versioning?
