AC/Meetings

This article is a stub. You can help the W3C wiki by expanding it.

This page is for listing and linking to public information about W3C Advisory Committee meetings, which are held twice a year, once in the spring, and once in the fall as part of TPAC.

Please feel free to add links to information about AC meetings like when/where, what topics were discussed, and summaries or notes, that can be publicly viewed (i.e. are already available at a public, citable URL).

For a member-only listing of past AC meetings, see: https://www.w3.org/Member/Meeting/

• Defective By Design: https://www.defectivebydesign.org/from-the-web-to-the-streets-protesting-drm

  In a dramatic and unexpected turn of events, a small group wearing Anonymous masks broke away from the protest and tried to enter the W3C meeting, where they were ejected by police.

• FSF: https://www.fsf.org/news/anti-drm-activists-go-to-w3c-meeting-to-protest-digital-restrictions-management-in-web-standards

  A small number of protesters split from the group, their actions were not condoned by the FSF, to enter the W3C meeting but they were ejected by police.
