WOFF File Format 2.0 First Public Working Draft Published
8 May 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3834
The WebFonts Working Group has published a First Public Working
Draft of "WOFF File Format 2.0." Based on experience with WOFF
1.0, which is widely deployed, this specification provides
improved compression and thus lower use of network bandwidth,
while still allowing fast decompression even on mobile devices.
This is achieved by combining a content-aware preprocessing
step and improved entropy coding, compared to the Flate
compression used in WOFF 1.0. Learn more about the Fonts
Activity.

Service Workers First Public Working Draft Published
8 May 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/3833
The Web Applications Working Group has published a First Public
Working Draft of "Service Workers." This specification
describes a method that enables applications to take advantage
of persistent background processing, including hooks to enable
bootstrapping of web applications while offline. The core of
this system is an event-driven Web Worker, which responds to
events dispatched from documents and other sources. A system
for managing installation, versions, and upgrades is provided.
The Service Worker is a generic entry point for event-driven
background processing in the Web Platform that is extensible by
other specifications. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

Workshops
* 2014-06-25 (25 JUN) – 2014-06-26 (26 JUN)
Workshop on the Web of Things
http://www.w3.org/2014/02/wot/
Berlin, Germany
Hosted by Siemens
Participants in this workshop will examine the potential
for open standards as a basis for services, either between
devices, at the network edge, e.g. in home hubs, or in the
cloud. They will discuss the use of web protocols and
scripting languages for implementing services, the need for
APIs for implementing drivers for specific IoT
technologies, a shared approach to describing services as a
basis for interoperability, and the underlying use of
HTTP/COAP, Web Sockets, and EXI/JSON for RESTful services.
