Announcement (Call for Participation)
W3C will hold a workshop in Heidelberg, Germany, to gather inspiration, needs and techniques for a future version of XSL-FO, the formatting specification of the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL). The W3C XSL Working Group expects that the enhancements for XSL-FO 2.0 will focus on layout-driven formatting, augmenting the content-driven layout facilities already defined.
People and organizations who have a specific interest in the work of the DDWG and who wish to participate in the workshop are invited to send statements of interest to the Workshop Committee. The email address for such statements is team-xslfo20-workshop@w3.org
The workshop is being hosted by Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG at the Heidelberg Print Media Academy in Heidelberg, Germany.
Scope
The XSL specification is in two parts: a language for transforming XML documents (XSLT), and an XML vocabulary for specifying formatting semantics (XSL-FO). This Workshop is about the second of these two parts, the formatting language. The World Wide Web Consortium's XSL Working Group has started work on version 2.0 of XSL-FO, and is looking for experts in the field to bring their knowledge, insight and experience, as well as for use cases and representatives of user communities.
The XSL Working Group expects to be working in conjunction with the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Working Group to enhanve the layout capabilities of XSL-FO.
Workshop Date and Time
The workshop will take place on Wednesday the 18th October, 2006. We will start at 9 am, so please aim to be there by 8:30 to have a coffee and pick up your badge. We will close at 5:30 pm.
