Session 1:
Integration
Description: W3C Working groups produce standard specs for relatively narrow technical areas, but they also exist in a broader ecosystem of standards work.

2: The New Open Web Client Platform: HTML5, CSS3,
and other goodies in action
Description: The excitement keeps growing around the new wave of Open Web technologies, and everyone is eager to see HTML5, CSS3, SVG, or various Web APIs in action. What is it all about? The most visible browser vendors kindly agreed to come on stage and show us the magic they can do with their latest implementations. Moderator: Philippe Le Hégaret (W3C) Presenters: |
| 11:15 to 12:30 |
Session
3: HTML.next
Description: W3C's largest working group is the HTML5 WG. With the HTML5 WG entering the stretch drive, TPAC is a good opportunity to discuss the next version of HTML. Session topics include simplification of web technologies, modularity, authoring tools and content management, the <device> element, etc. Moderator: Paul Cotton (Microsoft)
With HTML5, SVG 1.1 and portions of CSS 3 moving closer to or in Last Call, discussions are starting about what HTML6 will or could be. Patrick’s talk will discuss the opportunity that exists across W3C working groups and how we as members can simplify web technologies in a way that makes developers much more productive and successful than before.
Larry will talk about areas of future development of the core web standard (including modularity, extensibility, architectural consistency) as well as a renewed focus on requirements from authoring tools, content management, high-quality publishing, and other applications beyond web browsing where interoperability will bring greater benefits to the web user community.
The HTML device element, currently in development, will allow web developers to use devices such as webcams and microphones that were previously inaccessible without plug-ins. This will open up for new kinds of applications in HTML such as web videoconferencing. Adam will discuss the uses and implications of this novel technology.
Chris will demonstrate some of the prototypes that are informing the thinking of the XG Audio incubator group, including demos using the APIs in the upcoming Mozilla-based browsers and those being developed for Webkit. These demos include browser-based synthesis and sample playback and real-time music notation software. Chris will also give a brief overview of the emerging API to illustrate this functionality can be accessed in a simple but powerful way through Javascript. |
