http://www.w3.org/ -- 7 April 2009 -- The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) invites the WWW2009 conference participants as well as the local Spanish developer community to participate in the new W3C track format. For the first time, on 23 and 24 April, W3C will organize two camps for developers to discuss current hot topics in Web development and write code. The Mobile Widgets camp and the Social Web camp will foster discussion and promote results in the form of working mobile widgets and semantic/social Web tools, respectively.

W3C invites discussion topic suggestions via the track wikis, and more discussion on a twitter feed (#w3ctrack). A special discounted registration fee to attend the W3C track is available (see the online registration instructions on the W3C track page).

In addition to the W3C Track, Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the Web, will give a keynote titled "Twenty Years: Looking Forward, Looking Back" on Wednesday, 22 April, followed by a press conference.

All events will take place at the Palacio Municipal de Congresos Campo de las Naciones, in Madrid, Spain.
