Innominds is planning to organize its 2nd Annual Convention and Customer meet (InnoFest 2007) in Santa Clara, CA on Friday, November 16th, 2007.

The common theme of Innofest2007 is “Defining business models and partnership objectives to gear up global growth strategies for the participants in the IT ecosystem”. During the Convention Party they plan on identifying and debating fundamental issues that will shape the future of innovation and software product development in the lines of the common theme.

Innofest2007 will be attended by Innominds’ ISV customers, business partners, prospect ISVs, VCs and industry analysts. The event provides a platform that would enable the players of this ecosystem to interact. It will be an opportunity for you to meet your peer community and learn from their business practices, potential partners, funding houses who may be interested in your products and analysts who may want to write about you in their features.

On Tags (commonly accepted, synonyms, etc.):
I have found that del.icio.us ‘recommended tags’ & ‘popular tags’ lists have helped me to do my part to minimize this. I see what Tags others have applied and chose them whenever possible. This is a simple way to answer a good portion of this problem (using a ‘common’ tag). However, I don’t believe this can be solved ‘up front’. It requires housekeeping. A relationship may not be known when the tag is created. There may not be any/enough ‘popular’ tags. I need a nice merge function to merge many tags into one. I need an easy way to visualize relationships and to create them, after the fact. I expect that there is a natural progression.
1. I create tags.
2. At some point, I notice relationships/similarities. This may happen immediately, or it may need a certain ‘critical mass’ of related tags.
3. I then create the relationships and merge the similar items.

As you have stated, we need appropriate tools to perform these actions.
