   [] W3C is organizing a Workshop: The Multilingual Web - Where
   Are We?, to take place 26-27 October 2010 in Madrid, Spain.
   Workshop participants will survey and introduce currently
   available best practices and standards that help content
   creators, localizers, language technology developers, browser
   makers, and others meet the challenges of the multilingual Web.
   The Workshop also provides opportunities for networking that
   span the various communities involved in enabling the
   multilingual Web. Participation is free and open to anyone.
   However, space is limited and participants must send an
   expression of interest to the program committee. People wishing
   to speak should also submit a presentation outline as soon as
   possible.

       Web on TV
       http://www.w3.org/2010/09/web-on-tv/
       Tokyo, Japan
       With the support of the Japan Ministry of Internal Affairs
       and Communications
       The demand for access to applications, video, and other
       network services continues to grow. The Web platform itself
       continues its expansion to support mobile devices,
       television, home appliances, in-car systems, and more
       consumer electronics. To meet the growing demand, the Web
       platform of the future will require smarter integration of
       non-PC devices with Web technology so that both hardware
       and software vendors can provide richer Web applications on
       various devices at lower costs.
     * 2010-10-26 (26 OCT) – 2010-10-27 (27 OCT)
       The Multilingual Web - Where Are We?
       http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/madrid/cfp
       Madrid, Spain
       Hosted by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
       Today, the World Wide Web is fundamental to communication
       in all walks of life. As the share of English web pages
       decreases and that of other languages increases, it is
       vitally important to ensure the multilingual success of the
       World Wide Web.
       The MultilingualWeb project is looking at best practices
       and standards related to all aspects of creating,
       localizing and deploying the Web multilingually. The
       project aims to raise the visibility of existing best
       practices and standards and identify gaps. The core vehicle
       for this is a series of four events which are planned for
       the coming two years. As the first of the four events, this
       workshop will introduce and review currently available best
       practices and standards aimed at helping content creators,
       localizers, tools developers, and others meet the
       challenges of the multilingual Web.
