Wednesday 18 April - afternoon Camp 1: Web Security and Privacy - Room "Tête d'Or 1"

Chaired by Thomas Roessler, W3C Technology & Society Domain Lead

The Open Web Platform has transformed the nature of modern Web applications: The days of fundamentally server-based applications are past, and we are now facing a rich environment of truly distributed applications based on the Web platform.

These applications bring new challenges: Interactions between web applications become more complex, and change the landscape both of security threats and the nature of necessary technical solutions. At the same time, as ever more personal and business applications move to the cloud and to the Web, privacy concerns come further to the front. W3C has charted work on Web Application Security and Web Tracking protection, has proposed work on cryptographic APIs for JavaScript, and is considering work on Web Identity.

This W3C camp will help foster discussions about the Web application security (with an occasional foray into Web identity), and Web privacy from different perspectives. We invite you to contact the W3C Track chair to propose a specific topic of discussion and/or pertinent and controversial lightning talk that would help the discussions.

We also encourage interested participants to join the W3C Web Security Interest Group by joining the public mailing list public-web-security@w3.org (with public archive), or to join the W3C Privacy Interest Group.

Please send lightning talk and breakout session ideas to the public-web-security@w3.org or public-privacy@w3.org. In case of questions, please contact Thomas Roessler at tlr@w3.org

Thursday 19 April - afternoon Camp 2: HTML5 Games - Room "Bellecour 1"

Co-chaired by Philippe Le Hégaret, W3C Interaction Domain Lead and Boaz Sender, JavaScript Programmer at Bocoup, and W3C Games Community Group Chair

The main objective of the Games Community Group is to improve the quality of open Web standards that game developers rely on to create games. This is notably done by documenting how to best use open web standards for games and by evangelizing open Web standards to game developers and game development best practices to Web developers.

This W3C camp was set up to help foster discussions and interactions between gamers and Web developpers for the Web to become the premier playground!

We encourage you to join the W3C Games CG (simply follow the corresponding link on the right side of the group’s page) and introduce yourself and what you expect from the group on the public mailing-list public-games@w3.org (with public archives).
