TPAC/2021/SessionIdeas

From W3C Wiki
< TPAC‎ | 2021

This page was used to collect proposals fir TPAC 2021 TPAC Breakout week (October 18-22) sessions in advance of the meeting.

See also the proceedings of the actual breakouts that occurred during that week.

See the TPAC 2021 FAQ for more information. Please contact dom@w3.org for any question regarding the organization of TPAC breakouts.

How to use this page

Please use this page to:

  • Propose sessions you wish to lead
  • Please place new proposals at the bottom of this document

Any TPAC participant (participant in a Working Group, Interest Group, Business Group, or participant in a Community Group meeting at TPAC) may propose a session. We encourage you to bring new presenters to the community, particularly to help us improve the inclusiveness and diversity of W3C, listing yourself as the proposer. Please limit yourself to one or at most two proposals per proposer.

The W3C planning team will review all proposed breakouts and may suggest refining, combining, or deferring some proposals.

Scheduling breakouts for broad community participation

Breakouts are scheduled the week of October 18-22. The exact time and date of each breakout will be determined by the staff to reduce overlap of sessions with similar expected participants. We expect that scheduling to happen on October 8 - proposals submitted after October 8 will have much less flexibility in how they get scheduled.

With the W3C community spread across the globe, we are suggesting two approaches to breakout facilitators:

  • run their sessions twice to make it possible for people from as many timezones as possible to attend sessions they care about. We suggest picking 2 among the following of times:
    • 12am UTC: 5pm US PT / 8pm US ET / 8am Beijing / 9am Tokyo / 11am Sydney
    • 7am UTC: 8am UK / 9am CET / 11am Dubai / 3pm Beijing / 4pm Tokyo / 6pm Sydney
    • 3pm UTC: 8am US PT / 11am US ET / 4pm UK / 5pm CET / 7pm Dubai
  • run it a single time at 2pm UTC (7am US PT / 10am US ET / 3pm UK / 4pm CET / 6pm Dubai / 10pm Beijing / 11pm Tokyo / 1am Sydney). Single instance TPAC breakout sessions proposed outside of the 2pm UTC slot are subject to validation.

How to propose a session

Please provide:

    • session name (as a === subhead === )
    • session facilitators and speakers
    • one sentence session summary
    • type of session: (e.g.: open discussion, talk, panel, tutorial, demo, etc.)
    • goals of session - what outcomes can session participants expect?
    • additional speakers/panelists (to help reduce conflicts when one person is needed in more than one place)
    • is this breakout only for TPAC participants or should it be open to anyone?
    • a shortname that can be used to associate an IRC channel to your breakout
    • time preference: (2 slots among the ones listed above, 1 slot 2pm UTC, or request an exception)
    • days: if your breakout can only be scheduled on a subset of the 5 days of the week, please also indicate it

Breakout facilitator training

To help make the experience of TPAC breakouts as inclusive and welcoming as possible, W3C is offering a program to support facilitators in preparing and running their sessions.

We will be running two training sessions the week of October 4th

  • a 90 minutes workshop on Inclusive Facilitation Training, run by Kay Martinez, scheduled on October 5, 2021 at 2pm UTC
  • a workshop on conflict management, run by Jory Burson (exact time and date to be confirmed)

These training sessions are open to anyone planning to run a breakout session, and more generally to anyone wanting to build their skills in W3C meeting facilitation, with the first workshop limited to 30 participants - please indicate your interest in attending it with dom@w3.org.

In addition to these training sessions open to anyone, we are inviting breakout facilitators to volunteer for a more in-depth program, which will add the opportunity to get paired with a buddy and participate in a debriefing session after TPAC to keep better track of what did and did not work as well in terms of applying the training in practice. For scalability reasons, we only expect to accept about 10 people in this program, and ask that the said volunteers commit to participate to all of the sessions scheduled as part of this training program - please get in touch with dom@w3.org if you are interested.

In addition, discovery of voice agents with specific capabilities is currently haphazard and difficult. How can discovery be made easier? Is there an analogy to search engines and domain names? With these capabilities, the voice agent world would be much more like the web. This session will discuss issues related to interoperability of voice agents.

  • Summary (one-sentence or so): This summer’s IPCC report made it clear that we need systemic changes in order to slow or avert climate crisis. The W3C Ethical Web Principles have Sustainability (s12y) as a principle. What are the systemic environmental & sustainability impacts of existing (e.g. ad-trackers) and proposed (e.g. PoW blockchains) web standards technologies? How often are "what aboutism" examples (e.g. video, CSS) or Nirvana fallacy comparisons used to rationalize additional energy use? How do we both "do no (more) harm", i.e. stop adding to and also work on reducing the web’s energy usage and thus carbon footprint?
  • Type of session (e.g.: open discussion, talk, panel, etc.): Talk & Open Discussion

Next Directions for Voice and the Web

  • Proposer: Deborah Dahl (talk) 21:16, 8 September 2021 (UTC) and Kazuyuki Ashimura (talk) 09:29, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
  • Email address of proposer: dahl@conversational-technologies.com, ashimura@w3.org
  • Summary (one-sentence or so): Voice agents are getting popular these days and very useful for accessibility purposes as well. However, there are emerging needs for improved voice agents including flexible speech styles, various voices, conversational interactions, and system interoperability. For example, there are silos of thousands of voice agents that only work with one platform. So enterprises have to develop multiple versions of their customer service applications and users may need multiple platforms to access all the voice agents they want to use. However, it would be much better if voice agents could interoperate with each other, perhaps using some standards analogous to HTML. So we'd like to organize a W3C workshop to: (1) summarize the current status of the existing voice agents, (2) see the potential pain points for global deployment, and then (3) discuss how we could solve the issues, e.g., by providing a forum for joint discussion by related stakeholders.
  • Type of session: open discussion
  • Goals: As the background, summarize issues concerning using speech recognition and text-to-speech on the web. After that, discuss the issues of voice agent interoperability and discuss how to improve the situation including the potential Voice Workshop.
