| Responder | Are you interested to attend an HTML WG meeting during the W3C Technical Plenary in November? | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Sebastian Schnitzenbaumer | yes | |
| Matthew Ratzloff | no | |
| Ian Hickson | no | Without any idea what the meeting would be for, it is unclear why we would want to meet. It seems impractical to have a meeting with over 100 people present; and if we are not all present, since our charter requires us to allow asynchronous participation, it seems unlikely that we would actually be able to resolve any problems at a meeting. |
| Bill Mason | no | |
| Lachlan Hunt | no | Although I would like to attend, I will be unable to unless my travel/accommodation expenses were sponsored by another organisation, which seems unlikely. |
| Lars Erik Bolstad | yes | |
| Daniel Glazman | yes | I am always interested in meetings but such a meeting in Boston seems to me a pure utopy. Don't book a meeting room, book a lecture hall... A 150+ people meeting ? At least in Paris, a lot of people will attend only through IRC... |
| Colin Lieberman | yes | |
| Anne van Kesteren | yes | |
| Gavin James Pearce | no | Seperate work commitments place me in Dubai at that time. |
| Asbjørn Ulsberg | no | I live in Norway and participate in the HTML WG on a private basis. I can't afford travelling to the US for a meeting like this, although I'd love to go. |
| Mihai Sucan | no | Very similar to Asbjørn: I live in Romania and I participate in the HTML WG on a private basis. I can't afford travelling, even if, generally speaking, I'd like to go to various meetings. |
| Shawn Medero | yes | |
| Guillaume Guérin | no | As a student I can't pay a such travel. |
| Marco Battilana | no | |
| Tim McMahon | yes | |
| Laura Carlson | no | Self-supporting HTML WG member. Attending meetings is on my own nickel. |
| David Savage | yes | |
| Ryan King | no | |
| Murray Maloney | yes | |
| Sean Fraser | yes | It depends on how much has been accomplished between W3C HTML/WHAT Working Group(s) as well as any of my own schedule/budget factors that may arise in November. |
| Jirka Kosek | no | |
| Simon Pieters | no | Can't afford. |
| David Håsäther | no | |
| Magnus Kristiansen | no | Somewhat daunting this early + travel costs. |
| Kai Hendry | no | |
| Benjamin Chait | no | |
| Marcos Caceres | yes | I'm also self-funded, so if anyone wants to split the cost of a room with me please let me know. |
| Jough Dempsey | yes | |
| Yann Hamon | no | |
| David Dailey | yes | |
| Robert Brodrecht | no | |
| Olivier Thereaux | yes | |
| Jude Robinson | no | |
| David Andersson | no | |
| Sandy Smith | yes | |
| Laurens Holst | no | Live in Europe (Netherlands) at that time. |
| Masataka Yakura | no | |
| Krijn Hoetmer | no | |
| Preston Bannister | no | |
| Eira Monstad | no | |
| Sierk Bornemann | no | Although I would like to attend, I can't afford unless my travel/accommodation expenses were sponsored by another organisation, which seems unlikely. So, I favour participating to the HTML WG via IRC, via mailing list. |
| Daniel Lehtovirta | yes | I would really like to attend but I think I will not be able to do it. |
| James Graham | no | |
| Niels Leenheer | no | |
| Giovanni Gentili | no | |
| Gorm Haug Eriksen | no | |
| Gareth Hay | yes | |
| Niko Neugebauer | no | |
| Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo | no | I'm afraid that I won't be able to physically attend any such meeting (self-sustained and not able to travel at the moment) |
| Dean Edridge | yes | I would like to attend. |
| Julien Royer | no | |
| Geoffrey Sneddon | no | I'm completely unable to get away in Nov (well, sadly, most of the year). |
| Matthew Freels | no | |
| Nicolas Le Gall | no | Self-supporting + student |
| Andrew Fedoniouk | yes | |
| Arthur Jennings | yes | I'd love to go, but it would depend on funding time off, etc. |
| Marvin Carlos | yes | |
| Josh Fremer | yes | |
| Tommaso Donnarumma | no | |
| Roger Johansson | no | |
| Yannick Croissant | no | Living in Paris |
| Carol King | no | |
| satish sangaru | yes | |
| Sander Tekelenburg | no | [1] I agree with Ian Hickson's objections and [2] a ftf meeting is way too costly for me both in terms of time and money, especially given [1] ;) |
| Isac Lagerblad | no | I cant't afford. |
| John-Mark Bell | no | Outside Europe isn't possible due to travel costs. |
| Denis Boudreau | yes | I'd be interested to, but I'll be hosting a conference around that time... I will however, if possible, attend remotely if the proper set up is made available. |
| Brad Fults | no | |
| Jon Sykes | yes | |
| Benoit Piette | yes | It might be possible for me to come. About 50%/50% chance. I might not have the funds necessary. |
| Edward O'Connor | yes | |
| David McFarland | yes | |
| Craig Saila | yes | |
| Cameron McCormack | yes | I should be there already for the SVG WG meeting. |
| Erik van Kempen | no | |
| Eric Bednarz | no | |
| Doug Jones | no | |
| Henri Sivonen | no |
Perhaps around XTech in Paris in May, or perhaps on the US West coast.
If your answer is "it depends," please choose "yes" and say what it depends on in the comments field.
Again, not a binding commitment; just a statement of interest for planning purposes.

| Responder | Are you interested to travel to an HTML WG meeting before November? | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Sebastian Schnitzenbaumer | yes | |
| Matthew Ratzloff | yes | Only if on the West coast; preferably Seattle, WA. |
| Ian Hickson | no | If we do have a meeting, having it in Europe near XTech would be the most convenient time for me. |
| Bill Mason | yes | My interest would be US West Coast |
| Lachlan Hunt | no | Although I would like to, I will be unable to attend. |
| Lars Erik Bolstad | yes | |
| Daniel Glazman | yes | XTech ok. US West coast very unlikely for health reasons, long-range planes are almost forbidden to me for a few months... |
| Colin Lieberman | yes | Prefer USA Meetings - less travel cost; Euros are expensive. USA West Coast is great. |
| Anne van Kesteren | yes | The meeting should be done before the 26th of May. |
| Gavin James Pearce | yes | Paris yes, US no. Why not a UK base for a change? |
| Asbjørn Ulsberg | no | The same as the above, I can't afford it. If it was held in Scandinavia, the UK or something similar, I might come. But even Paris is too far away and too expensive for me, sorry. |
| Mihai Sucan | no | Again, travelling in Europe is also too expensive. I favour participating to the HTML WG via IRC, via mailing list. |
| Shawn Medero | no | |
| Guillaume Guérin | yes | It depends on where and when. |
| Marco Battilana | yes | I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. If this meeting were to be in Seattle, WA, then it's realistic for me to attend. Any further from Seattle and I would not be able to attend. |
| Tim McMahon | no | |
| Laura Carlson | no | Self-supporting HTML WG member. Attending meetings is on my own nickel. |
| David Savage | no | |
| Ryan King | yes | west coast, yes since it would be less (or no) travel for me. |
| Murray Maloney | yes | I could probably attend a North American FTF. My ability to attend meetings outside of N.A. is uncertain at best. |
| Sean Fraser | yes | Paris would be nice but I live in Los Angeles County: the US West Coast is closer. |
| Jirka Kosek | yes | parallel to XTech is my preference |
| Simon Pieters | no | Can't afford. |
| David Håsäther | no | |
| Magnus Kristiansen | no | Somewhat daunting this early + travel costs. |
| Kai Hendry | yes | Paris |
| Benjamin Chait | no | |
| Marcos Caceres | no | Depending on how many Australians there are, maybe we Aussies can have a mini-meeting/conference here in Brisbane in May. I'd be more than happy to host it at QUT... |
| Jough Dempsey | yes | I'd be happy to attend any meetings in Chicago, IL, USA. |
| Yann Hamon | no | |
| David Dailey | yes | depends on funding and timing -- should be after the middle of May (due to end of semester) |
| Robert Brodrecht | yes | If it were a weekend thing in California (esp in L.A., but I'd be willing to trek up to San Francisco), I'd be interested. Since I'm on my own dime, I doubt I could make it to a non-weekend event. |
| Olivier Thereaux | yes | May would be hard for me, lots of travel commitments already. |
| Jude Robinson | no | |
| David Andersson | no | |
| Sandy Smith | no | |
| Laurens Holst | yes | I think Paris would be a very suitable location. If I would have been in Europe, I would have attended XTech. However at this moment (until august) I live in Japan, so unless you are going to do this somewhere in south east Asia, I won’t be able to attend this meeting :). One thing I’d like to stress though is that I think it would be good if half of the face-to-face meetings would take place in Europe. Laurens Holst |
| Masataka Yakura | no | |
| Krijn Hoetmer | no | |
| Preston Bannister | yes | West coast - maybe. Travel is on my dime. Besides I rather hope a web-standards group can manage to perform on the web. |
| Eira Monstad | no | |
| Sierk Bornemann | no | Although I really would like to attend, I can't afford unless my travel/accommodation expenses were sponsored by another organisation, which seems unlikely. So, I favour participating to the HTML WG via IRC, via mailing list. |
| Daniel Lehtovirta | yes | Depends on if I can manage to get away for XTech |
| James Graham | yes | A meeting around Xtech may be convenient although, depending on numbers, I doubt the direct usefulness of such an event. I guess meeting people may have indirect benefits, however. |
| Niels Leenheer | yes | Depends if it is held during the XTech in Paris |
| Giovanni Gentili | no | |
| Gorm Haug Eriksen | yes | |
| Gareth Hay | no | My day job won't give me leave as I'll be just married. |
| Niko Neugebauer | yes | XTech in Paris would be an option. |
| Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo | no | I'm afraid that I won't be able to physically attend any such meeting (self-sustained and not able to travel at the moment) |
| Dean Edridge | no | Would like to attend, but I'm not able to sorry. |
| Julien Royer | yes | I would be interested by a meeting in Paris. |
| Geoffrey Sneddon | yes | Paris in May, depending on the exact date, may be possible. |
| Matthew Freels | no | |
| Nicolas Le Gall | yes | It depends on : - Where (I can Paris, but not the West coast). - If my boss want me to leave for some days to Paris. - I can assume the cost of the travel (probably). |
| Andrew Fedoniouk | yes | US West is preferable |
| Arthur Jennings | yes | I'll be in Paris the last two weeks of May. Outside of those dates, I wouldn't be able to attend there. West coast would be easier. |
| Marvin Carlos | no | |
| Josh Fremer | yes | International travel (outside the US) isn't really viable for me. |
| Tommaso Donnarumma | yes | XTech in Paris may be an option |
| Roger Johansson | yes | It depends on how far I would have to travel and when the meeting would be. Scandinavia = very likely. Anywhere else = highly unlikely. |
| Yannick Croissant | yes | OK for Paris but not for the US West coast |
| Carol King | no | |
| satish sangaru | no | |
| Sander Tekelenburg | no | [1] I agree with Ian Hickson's objections and [2] a ftf meeting is way too costly for me both in terms of time and money, especially given [1] ;) |
| Isac Lagerblad | yes | it depends on the location. |
| John-Mark Bell | no | Paris is possibly do-able, although anything after the 17th is probably out due to other commitments. I'm more in favour of this option due to the location than the timing, however, as I share Ian Hickson's concerns. |
| Denis Boudreau | no | Not for now, because I am auto financing my participation to this WG and I just cannot afford it for now (my laptop needs to be changed!). |
| Brad Fults | no | |
| Jon Sykes | no | |
| Benoit Piette | no | |
| Edward O'Connor | yes | US West coast, yes -- Europe, no (would need much more in the way of advance warning) |
| David McFarland | yes | if on the west coast |
| Craig Saila | no | |
| Cameron McCormack | no | I think it would be useful, but I will likely be unable to attend (unless it's in Melbourne :)). |
| Erik van Kempen | yes | Paris will be fine, but I won't be able to attend unless I find financial support. |
| Eric Bednarz | yes | Depends on: - Location (Paris) - amount of time the exact date is known in advance (min. 1 month) |
| Doug Jones | no | |
| Henri Sivonen | yes | Yes during XTech. My airline tickets have already been bought. I'll be landing at CDG at 11:30 on May 15th (I'd reserve at least two hours to getting to a meeting in the city center). I'll be at the conference venue during the conference. Then I'll be staying in the suburbs but can take the RER back to Paris any day. I'll be flying away from Paris in the morning of the 22th. Not in the US. |
