Hi Shawn, All: The page to bookmark for APA at TPAC is this one: https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Meetings/TPAC_2019 * Remote teleconference data for our sessions is linked on that page. * Each agendum is given with a link to TimeAndDate.com so that * remote participants can verify the correct time in their local * time zones. * We link to key documents for each meeting. This is a work in * progress. I still have some XR docs to link in, for example. * Lastly, but very critically, any last minute updates will be * noted on that page. Let me also welcome all to any of our sessions. We're very open on any of our topics. PS: I'm trying to figure out when and how I might duck out of APA for even a short while to join the Silver session with AGWG. No promisses, but I'm mindful of the value of doing that.
