W3C Workshop: Do Not Track and Beyond
20 September 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9571
W3C announced today a Workshop on Do Not Track and Beyond,
26-27 November in Berkeley, California. W3C is currently
creating standards that define mechanisms for expressing user
preferences around Web tracking. The Working Group has produced
drafts of Do Not Track specifications, concurrent with various
implementations in browsers and Web sites and heightened press
and policymaker attention. At the same time, public awareness
of online privacy issues has increased.
http://www.w3.org/2012/dnt-ws/
Workshop participants will discuss the Consortium's next steps
in the area of tracking protection and Web privacy. What have
we learned from Do Not Track standardization and real-world
implementations? What should we look at next and beyond DNT?
There is no fee to participate in this Workshop and W3C
Membership is not required. All participants are required to
submit a position paper by 19 October and space is limited. W3C
thanks UC Berkeley and TRUST Science and Technology Center for
hosting the meeting, and Yahoo! for sponsoring the event. Learn
more about the W3C Privacy Activity.

including web applications and websites for mobile devices --
conform to WCAG 2.0. Learn more from the call for review e-mail

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Flexible Box Layout Module
20 September 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9568
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites
implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of "CSS Flexible
Box Layout Module." The specification describes a CSS box
model optimized for user interface design. In the flex layout
model, the children of a flex container can be laid out in any
direction, and can "flex" their sizes, either growing to fill
unused space or shrinking to avoid overflowing the parent. Both
horizontal and vertical alignment of the children can be easily
manipulated. Nesting of these boxes (horizontal inside
vertical, or vertical inside horizontal) can be used to build
layouts in two dimensions. Learn more about the Style Activity.

Publishing and Linking on the Web Draft Published
18 September 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9565
The Technical Architecture Group has published the First Public
Working Draft of "Publishing and Linking on the Web." This
document is intended to inform future social and legal
discussions of the Web by clarifying the ways in which the
Web's technical facilities operate to store, publish and
retrieve information, and by providing definitions for
terminology as used within the Web's technical community. This
document also describes the technical and operational impact
that does or could result from legal constraints on publishing,
linking and transformation on the Web. Comments should be sent
before end of september 2012, for consideration during the
upcoming TAG meeting. This is not a deadline, comments can be
sent anytime. Learn more about the Technical Architecture
Group.

Shift into High Gear on the Web: W3C Workshop on Web and
Automotive
http://www.w3.org/2012/08/web-and-automotive/
Rome, Italy
Hosted by Intel and Sponsored by Webinos
W3C’s Open Web Platform (OWP) is driving this and other
industry transformations. The promise of the early
information superhighway is being fulfilled. Whether
tethering a driver’s smartphone or tablet to work with a
car--or embedding technology into the car itself--there’s
no need to reinvent the wheel. The Web can take you there.
Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to
share their own perspectives, requirements, and ideas to
ensure that emerging global technology standards meet the
needs of the Web and Automotive industries.

Do Not Track and Beyond
http://www.w3.org/2012/dnt-ws/
Berkeley, California
Hosted by UC Berkeley and TRUST Science and Technology
Center
This workshop serves as a forum for the W3C membership and
the public to discuss the Consortium's next steps in the
area of tracking protection and Web privacy. What have we
learned from Do Not Track standardization and real-world
implementations? Furthermore, undoubtedly support for
privacy on the Web platform cannot end with Do Not Track:
what should we look at next and beyond DNT?
