Fwd: TPAC 2019 registration now open

Everyone,

The WebApps WG (shortly to replace the WebPlat WG) will meet on Thursday 
and Friday of TPAC week.

We'll begin agenda bashing in the next couple of weeks. Please start to 
think about whether there are items you'd like added to the agenda.

Thanks
Léonie.

TPAC Diversity Fund
------------------------------------------

W3C has established a modest TPAC Diversity Fund, generously sponsored 
by W3C Members Siteimprove, The Paciello Group, Microsoft, Samsung 
Electronics, TetraLogical, Dyno Mapper, Adobe.

As an international organization, we can see the immense value we gain 
from having greater gender diversity, and expertise from across multiple 
countries and cultures.

Applicants should be from a group that is under-represented in the web 
community, and unable to attend TPAC without financial help. 
Applications are due 14 July 2019.

Please find more information in the application form:
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/diversity-fund-2019/

If your organization or yourself wishes to become a sponsor, please let 
us know!
