Tim Berners-Lee in Weaving the Web: “The meeting was very friendly and quite small with only about twenty-five people. Competitors in the marketplace, the representatives came together with concerns over the potential fragmentation of HTML…if there was any centralized point of control, it would rapidly become a bottleneck that would restrict the Web’s growth and the Web would never scale up. Its being ‘out of control’ was very important.”]] * TED RADIO HOUR: 'Open-Source World’ 10 December 2015 NewsTalk by Nadine Maloney http://www.newstalk.com/TED-RADIO-HOUR:-OpenSource-World * Why HTML5 matters to your business 9 December 2015 The Drum by Andrew Windle http://www.thedrum.com/opinion/2015/12/09/why-html5-matters-your-business * Privacy Pioneer Lorrie Cranor named CTO at FTC 8 December 2015 Direct Marketing News by Al Urbanski http://www.dmnews.com/privacy/privacy-pioneer-lorrie-cranor-named-cto-at-ftc/article/458410/ * Understanding Web Accessibility Standards: A Conversation with W3C's Shawn Henry 2 December 2015 Partnership on Employment and Accessible Technology http://www.peatworks.org/content/understanding-web-accessibility-standards-conversation-w3cs-shawn-henry -- Amy van der Hiel W3C/MIT 32 Vassar Street, G532 Cambridge, MA 02139 USA phone: +1.617.253.5628 amy@w3.org
