TPAC 2011 (a W3C event) takes place 31 Oct to 4 Nov 2011 in Santa Clara, California. The Plenary Day is 2 November.

This year the TPAC2011 Program Committee has adopted a plenary day structure that encourages meeting participants to drive the agenda. Most of the day will consist of sessions chosen and led by participants. We encourage people to share their ideas in this wiki. This wiki also provides more operational information about the day.

Plenary Day Agenda Ideas

The program committee has pre-selected the cross-group plenary topics and a small handful of breakout session proposals:

Attendees were encouraged to brainstorm session ideas in advance of the meeting, both for cross-group plenary topics and for the breakout sessions:

We invite you to leave comments in the wiki in support of sessions or suggesting modifications. For the most part, actual breakout sessions will be determined by those present the day of the event, who will be free to propose sessions they've developed or new ideas. Please see the session page for more information about schedule and selection.
