Webapps/Meetings

From W3C Wiki


NOTE: This document (and the referenced meeting pages) is no longer maintained because the Web Applications Working Group was closed in October 2015 and its deliverables transferred to the Web Platform Working Group (WPWG). The WPWG group has its own Meetings document.


This document contains information about WebApps' upcoming face-to-face (f2f) meetings, links to past meetings and information about regular distributed meetings (aka telcons or voice conferences).

Please note:

  • The group has 1-2 face-to-face (f2f) meetings per year where the potential scope is all of the group's specifications.
  • The group may have spec-specific f2f meetings (for example, only Web Components specs are on the agenda).
  • The group does not have regular distributed voice conferences except for a few telcons that focus on one specification or a set of closely related specifications. More information about the group's telcons is provided below.
  • All meeting minutes are Public.

    • Each participant should type the following immediately after joining the irc channel:

IRC and Meeting Resources

Here are some useful resources regarding IRC (e.g. a short cheat sheet) and meetings:

Web Interface to IRC

If you do do not have an IRC client, or have trouble connecting to IRC from behind a firewall, W3C offers a browser-based IRC Web interface (note: you must have a Member or Invited Expert account to use this).
