    W3C and W3C Offices - an overview

    by Klaus Birkenbihl , in cooperation with the Germany and Austria Office

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:
    The World Wide Web consortium (W3C) claims to "lead the Web to its full potential". The talk illustrates by whom and how it is done. One part of the concept are the W3C Offices. The first W3C Offices were part of a project that was initiated by W3C with support from the EU in 1997. Offices were established to improve the regional presence of W3C and to overcome language barriers. The first 4 Offices were in UK, Netherlands, Germany and Greece. It will be outlined why the Offices program turned out to be a success and what are the challenges and chances for the future.

    W3C in a Changing World

    by Klaus Birkenbihl , in cooperation with the Greece Office

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:
    W3C was founded to lead the Web to its full potential. It started with three technologies that made the Web a huge success: HTTP, HTML and URI. Meanwhile 1500+ participants work in 60+ working groups on different aspects of web technologies. Beside the fact that the power of computers and networks has been increased several 1000 times web technologies have empowered people to communicate, exchange ideas, form communities much easier than ever before. Instead of praising W3C for all the wonderful things it did (what it would deserve) this talk will give some examples on how W3C interacts with the outside world. Topics will be from volunteer translators, evangelists to competing efforts in web standards.

    W3C and the Social Web

    by Dominique Hazaël-Massieux , in cooperation with the Italy Office

    Relevant technology area: Web of Devices .

    (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.
