Dear TPAC Attendees,

Several weeks ago we announced [1] the new Plenary Day structure we have adopetd for TPAC 2011 [2], and we invited people to contribute session ideas [3].  We have received a number of suggestions for plenary ("cross-group") topics:

 - The W3C Publication Process is broken: lets fix it!
 - API Design Approaches and the Rationales for Them
 - How can W3C promote convergence in installable Web application technologies?
 - Component Model & XBL

Please propose any plenary topics (for all participants during the 9:00-10:00 slot [4]) by 1 October. The Program Committee [5] will select two plenary sessions.

People have proposed a number of breakout sessions and more are pending:

 - Increasing Global Participation in W3C
 - Web in the World
 - Specification Production Ecosystem
 - Demos of Applications using W3C Standards
 - User Experience and Privacy for Microphone Access
 - What would make W3C more useful to developers?
 - Experimental specifications
 - Making W3C more useful for business
 - Cloud Computing 
 - Advances in Social Network standardization
 - Feedback from the World Wide Web Foundation
 - HTML5 and Games

I would like to encourage you to add topics of interest to you to the wiki [3]. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

If you have not already registered [6] for TPAC, please take a moment to do so; registration closes on 14 October. Please note that the discount hotel rate at the Santa Clara Marriott expires on 10 October.

Ian Jacobs, Head of W3C Communications
