Dominique Hazaël-Massieux gives a talk on behalf of the Italy Office entitled "W3C and the Social Web" at the "10 anniversary of the W3C Italian Office" on Wednesday, 7 October 2009, in Pisa, Italy. (see abstract)

Abstract:

An increasing number of our social interactions are now done through the Web: this Social Web offers numerous innovation opportunities for enriching both the personal and work life of its participants. But beyond these opportunities, there are still many technical, policy and social challenges that need to be addressed, some of which W3C has started to tackle, through a workshop early 2009, and an ongoing incubator group dedicated to that topic.

12 October

Phil Archer gives a talk entitled "Mobile Web Best Practices" at the "London Web Standards Meetup" on Monday, 12 October 2009, in London, United Kingdom. (see abstract)

Abstract:

How do you create great content for mobile? What do you do differently compared with the desktop world? How do you make sure that no matter what device someone is using, they will be able to access your content and services while on the move? Do you create completely separate mobile and desktop versions?

These are the sorts of questions addressed in the W3C’s own Mobile Web Best Practices course. Phil Archer, who leads the training course at W3C, will argue that a standards-based approach is an important foundation but what’s really required is a different way of thinking that reflects the stark difference between a user sitting in front of a desk and one sitting on a park bench, or a bus, a restaurant table or wherever.

Designing for mobile consumers is the key, rather than designing for mobile technology.
