W3C Launches Web Real-Time Communications Working Group
05 May 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9084
W3C today launched a new Web Real-Time Communications Working
Group to define client-side APIs to enable Real-Time
Communications in Web browsers. These APIs should enable
building applications that can be run inside a browser,
requiring no extra downloads or plugins, that allow
communication between parties using audio, video and
supplementary real-time communication, without having to use
intervening servers. Read the full charter and learn more about
W3C's Ubiquitous Web Applications Activity.

First Draft of Touch Events Specification Draft Published
05 May 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9083
The Web Events Working Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of "Touch Events Specification." The Touch
Interface specification defines a set of low-level events that
represent one or more points of contact with a touch-sensitive
surface, and changes of those points with respect to the
surface and any DOM elements displayed upon it (e.g., for touch
screens) or associated with it (e.g., for drawing tablets
without displays). It also addresses pen-tablet devices, such
as drawing tablets, with consideration toward stylus
capabilities. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Workshops
* 2011-05-24 (24 MAY) – 2011-05-25 (25 MAY)
Identity in the Browser
http://www.w3.org/2011/identity-ws/
Mountain View, CA, USA
Hosted by Mozilla Foundation
The Web is now critical infrastructure and, as such,
requires mechanisms that foster trust. For critical
enterprise activity, effective government engagement, and
sensitive social information accessed over the Web, a
higher level of identity assurance, privacy protection, and
security is required, and client-side technologies like
browsers have an important role to play. There is a
pressing need for trustworthy, widely-applicable digital
identity management. W3C is therefore organizing a Workshop
on Identity in the Browser. Participants will investigate
strategies to facilitate the development and deployment of
improved identity authentication and authorization
technologies across the Web. Also included in the workshop
will be explorations into the operational, policy, and
legal issues that must be addressed by the solutions.
* 2011-06-03 ( 3 JUN) – 2011-06-05 ( 5 JUN)
Federated Social Web Europe
http://d-cent.org/fsw2011/
Berlin, Germany
Hosted by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung
Social networking has transformed the Web. However, most
Social Web applications today limit relationships to those
with accounts in the same system. As with many other
communications tools (telephone, email, Web) people will
ultimately prefer Social Web applications without such
barriers, where anyone can communicate seamlessly with
anyone else, whatever application they are using. W3C will
be exploring how to achieve "One Social Web" at Federated
Social Web Europe.
* 2011-06-04 ( 4 JUN) – 2011-06-05 ( 5 JUN)
Mobile and Web Technologies in Social and Economic
Development
http://public.webfoundation.org/2011/01/MW4D_WS/
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Jointly organized by the World Wide Web Foundation and W3C
The Workshop on Mobile and Web Mobile Technologies in
Social and Economic Development aims to understand the
challenges associated with using mobile phones and Web
technologies to deliver sustainable services for
underprivileged populations in developing countries.
