Workshops
* 2011-04-28 (28 APR) – 2011-04-29 (29 APR)
Web Tracking and User Privacy
http://www.w3.org/2011/track-privacy/
Princeton, New Jersey
Hosted by the Center for Information Technology Policy at
Princeton University
Tracking (e.g., for behavioral advertising) has come to the
forefront recently as part of the overall Web privacy
conversation in the broader Web and policy community.
Several software vendors (including Microsoft, Mozilla, and
Google) are offering measures that are intended to permit
users to opt out of this tracking, or to prevent tracking
by Web sites that are known to engage in these practices.
Similar technology is deployed in a number of plugins
(including NoScript, AdBlock plus, TACO, and
PrivacyChoice). As part of ongoing efforts in the area of
user privacy on the Web, W3C is organizing a Workshop on
Web Tracking and User Privacy.
* 2011-05-24 (24 MAY) – 2011-05-25 (25 MAY)
Identity in the Browser
http://www.w3.org/2011/identity-ws/
Mountain View, CA, USA
Hosted by Mozilla Foundation
The Web is now critical infrastructure and, as such,
requires mechanisms that foster trust. For critical
enterprise activity, effective government engagement, and
sensitive social information accessed over the Web, a
higher level of identity assurance, privacy protection, and
security is required, and client-side technologies like
browsers have an important role to play. There is a
pressing need for trustworthy, widely-applicable digital
identity management. W3C is therefore organizing a Workshop
on Identity in the Browser. Participants will investigate
strategies to facilitate the development and deployment of
improved identity authentication and authorization
technologies across the Web. Also included in the workshop
will be explorations into the operational, policy, and
legal issues that must be addressed by the solutions.
* 2011-06-03 ( 3 JUN) – 2011-06-05 ( 5 JUN)
Federated Social Web Europe
http://d-cent.org/fsw2011/
Berlin, Germany
Hosted by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung
Social networking has transformed the Web. However, most
Social Web applications today limit relationships to those
with accounts in the same system. As with many other
communications tools (telephone, email, Web) people will
ultimately prefer Social Web applications without such
barriers, where anyone can communicate seamlessly with
anyone else, whatever application they are using. W3C will
be exploring how to achieve "One Social Web" at Federated
Social Web Europe.
* 2011-06-04 ( 4 JUN) – 2011-06-05 ( 5 JUN)
Mobile and Web Technologies in Social and Economic
Development
http://public.webfoundation.org/2011/01/MW4D_WS/
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Jointly organized by the World Wide Web Foundation and W3C
The Workshop on Mobile and Web Mobile Technologies in
Social and Economic Development aims to understand the
challenges associated with using mobile phones and Web
technologies to deliver sustainable services for
underprivileged populations in developing countries.
