Call for Review: Media Queries Proposed Recommendation Published
26 April 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9430
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Proposed Recommendation of "Media Queries." HTML and CSS
support media-dependent style sheets tailored for different
media types. For example, a document may use sans-serif fonts
when displayed on a screen and serif fonts when printed. Media
queries extend the functionality of media types by allowing
more precise labeling of style sheets. Please see the Working
Group's implementation report and the Media Queries Test Suite.
Comments on the Proposed Recommendation are welcome through 23
May. Learn more about the Style Activity.

W3C Workshop: Web-Based Signage
26 April 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9432
W3C announces today a Workshop on Web-Based Signage, 14-15 June
in Tokyo (Chiba), Japan, and hosted by NTT. W3C is organizing a
workshop to share perspectives, business use cases, and
technology requirements so that the Open Web Platform can be
used on large digital displays (such as those found in city
squares and at sporting events). We invite operators of
consumer electronics companies, digital signage platforms,
advertisers, browser vendors, sign owners, and others to
participate in this discussion. W3C membership is not required
to participate in this workshop. Please submit a statement of
interest by 16 May and learn more about participation.

Last Call: Server-Sent Events
26 April 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9429
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "Server-Sent Events." This specification
defines an API for opening an HTTP connection for receiving
push notifications from a server in the form of DOM events. The
API is designed such that it can be extended to work with other
push notification schemes such as Push SMS. Comments are
welcome through 17 May. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

W3C Workshop on Web-Based Signage
http://www.w3.org/2012/06/signage/cfp
Tokyo (Chiba), Japan
Hosted by NTT
The Web is at a turning point with the emergence of the
Open Web Platform, the set of technologies used to create
highly interactive experiences and social apps on a broad
range of devices. W3C has helped foster the deployment of
Web technology on mobile devices and, for the past two
years, has made the convergence of Web and TV a priority
(see the Web and TV Interest Group). We now see an
opportunity to extend the Web to a new class of devices:
very large digital displays. We invite operators of
consumer electronics companies, digital signage platforms,
advertisers, browser vendors, sign owners, and others to
participate in this discussion.

Using Open Data: policy modeling, citizen empowerment, data

http://www.w3.org/2012/06/pmod/
Brussels, Belgium
Hosted by the European Commission
For many years, W3C has been a keen promoter of Open Data,
fostering a culture in which public administrations make
their data available, ideally in machine-processable
formats. Many governments have embraced the idea with
enthusiasm, setting up national data portals. As part of
the FP7-funded Crossover Project, W3C and the European
Commission are running a Workshop in June, just ahead of
the Digital Agenda Summit, to ask a simple question: what
is all the 'new' government open data being used for?
