Call for Participation in OpenTrack Community Group

The OpenTrack Community Group has been launched:

This group aims to develop an open standard for interchange of data in Athletics (including Track and Field), running and related disciplines. Such a standard should allow the development of better software to manage the sport, resulting in major savings of time for volunteers; more efficient management of events and federations; and more enjoyment for participants and fans.

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2017-01-28 by Andy Robinson. The following people supported its creation: Andy Robinson, Stian Soiland-Reyes, Peter Kennedy, Tom Conlon, Martín Álvarez, chiheb Kaibi, Nicolas Launois, Nicholas Gould. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
