Strategies to save the Open Web

  • Past
  • Confirmed
  • Breakout Sessions

(I am proposing this, but I am probably not the best chair for this; volunteers welcomed!)

The future of the Open Web was discussed at a popular breakout at last year's TPAC (notes from that session).

One theme from that discussion that should out to me is that the open web is under threat. What mitigating actions can we, the AC, envision for the W3C and its community to take?

Some relevant blog posts:

Open Source Software at W3C

  • Past
  • Confirmed
  • Breakout Sessions

Through a more systematic approach to open source software (OSS), W3C can have a variety of positive impacts on the Web, including interoperability gains, an accelerated incubation-to-adoption pipeline, increased resilience of the Web through sustained support for critical code resources, and more widely adopted code that aligns with W3C’s mission and values. The Structural Evolution Initiative Task Force has been discussing this topic for several months, and the staff plans to present in plenary some of their ideas for taking a more systematic approach to integrating open source software projects in W3C. This breakout session is for structured discussion within the Membership about questions, concerns, and support.

Goal(s):
Seek feedback and questions on an open source software program at W3C.
