Dear group,

As to the SDWIG meeting face to face at TPAC (in Fukuoka, Japan 16-20 September 2019, see https://www.w3.org/2019/09/TPAC/ ), we are currently evaluating whether or not it’s a good idea to have a meeting there. Although both Jeremy and I might go in any case because we’re AC representatives for our organizations, all but one of the other group members we spoke to so far (those that were at the OGC meeting last week) indicated that they are not planning to travel to Japan for TPAC, as it’s not a short/easy/cheap trip. If most of the group members are not going there, it does not really make sense to organize a f2f meeting there… On the other hand, it is the best place to profit from the larger W3C community of which we are part.

Currently, we ARE in the schedule for Monday/Tuesday of TPAC week, but we are re-evaluating this.

Please could all of you let us know asap if you would attend a SDWIG face to face meeting at TPAC 2019 in Fukuoka?
I want to hear both the ‘yes’ and the ‘no’ answers!

Thank you all in advance!

Linda
