Innovation is the key to success in today's fast-paced, competitive marketplace. To be successful, companies must continuously create new and better products and services. But how can they do this? One answer is to embrace open standards. This Panel Session discusses Innovation best practices that allow companies to share knowledge, ideas, data, and code. We discuss strategies to promote collaboration and enable companies to leverage each other's Innovation Processes. Expert Speakers share enterprise success factors of adopting open standards to speed up the Innovation process, creating better products and services faster.

A recurring theme in conversations with and surveys of Web developers is how less polished the developer experience is for the Web compared to e.g. native platforms. While some of this gap is unavoidable in a platform anchored in competing implementations of open standards, there is also likely room for a lot of improvements through better coordination of browser and dev tools providers. This breakout offers to identify such opportunities and will report on some early discussions around coordinated developer-targeting research (as was done with the MDN DNA survey) and increasing the understanding of the interoperable surface of the Web platform (as illustrated by the Interop 2022 effort)

IP address is a highly identifiable signal used for cross-site identity joining i.e. tracking users. How can we mitigate this privacy risk? Discuss relevant technologies

Discussion on a system where untrusted modular components can access private user data through policy protection and enforcement. Join us to play with prototypes and learn more!

Explore when users exchange rich data through the copy and paste transfer mechanism.

Short and long term, how should login to X with (an associated) Y work? e.g. login to instagram.com with facebook.com, audible.com with amazon.com, youtube.com with google.com and xbox.com/office.com with microsoft.com. Explicitly out of scope of the discussion: ccTLDs X/Y (e.g. login to example.ca with example.co.uk) and other FPS subsets.

Presentation & tutorial on the ne Digital Accessibility Apprenticeship Program, funded, and governed by the U.S. Department of Labor.

W3Cx is W3C's partnership with edX since 2015. This is where we offer MOOCs on core Web technologies. W3Cx’s catalog is composed of 7 MOOCs: in addition to the Front-End Web Developer program (5 courses on HTML5, CSS and JS), W3C produced “Introduction to Web Accessibility” (available until 31 December 2022) and “Introduction to Web Authentication” (new session to be launched on 8 Nov. 2022, in partnership with Yubico). edX/2U offer a leading global online learning platform. To date, we serve over 44 million learners with access to world-class education in partnership with more than 230 colleges, universities, and corporations. Our people and technology are powering more than 3,600 digital education offerings—from free courses to full degrees—and helping unlock human potential.

What Open Web Docs is and how we document the Web on MDN.

API for capturing an Element as a video stream. Think HTMLCanvasElement.captureStream for an arbitrary type of Element.

A new web API for framing web content in a manner that's isolated from its embedder

The W3C Process requires adequate implementation experience to be able to transition a document beyond Candidate Recommendation. Some of the past transitions raised concerns about how this should be interpreted. This session is intended to help the community get a better grip on the 3 Big Is – interoperable, independent, implementation.

One of the largest developer pain points is styling/modifying the content of the controls/components that ship natively with the user-agent. Open UI will provide an update on the progress on new elements and primitives to improve this.

Chromium folks have been working within the CSSWG to give developers an easy way to create page transitions. We'd like to show how it works, and get feedback from implementers, spec folks, and other interested parties.

The climate crisis requires urgent action to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions and there is varied interest in systematic work to make the Internet and the Web more sustainable.

Some big changes to how cookies work in browsers make us rethink how Fetch and HTML integrate with the cookies RFC and whether more cookie behavior could be defined in browser land. Join us to learn about and discuss the future of cookies in standards!

Presentation of the W3C Accessibility Maturity Model First Public Working Draft.

Present the current status of the Web of Things in the WoT IG/WG and CGs, and showcase a number of application demonstrations.

CNAME records have a reputation as a tool to circumvent resource-blocking and specific privacy measures. However, if used properly, they can help websites integrate third-party services without requiring third-party cookies, providing a great privacy benefit. We want to discuss how browsers could support privacy-preserving usage of CNAMEs while preventing potential abuse. Joint session with a brief overview of chrome's proposed bounce tracking mitigations following the CNAME discussion.

A potentially outrageous idea to move (some) document configuration out of HTTP header space into HTML, in a way that allows document authors to set configuration for their own documents, while (hopefully) avoiding most of the concerns around XSS / injection that existing mechanisms have.

BFCache provides a big performance win for navigation but there are obstacles to pages successfully being cached - Cache-Control: no-store header, unload handlers, in-the-wild telemetry for cache misses. This covers proposals for solving these.

A reflection of the apps that Project Fugu APIs have enabled, including a brief exploration of the present, the future of some of the enabling APIs, and our vision and dreams for the future.
