Record Attendance at W3C Technical Plenary 2015 this week
26 October 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5098>
[] This week, the W3C community meets in Sapporo, Japan for
TPAC 2015 W3C’s annual face-to-face Membership meeting.
Participants will coordinate technical directions for the Open
Web Platform, explore its impact across industries and devices,
discuss organizational strategy and the future of the Web.
Attendees will participate in Working Group meetings, an
Advisory Committee meeting, and a Plenary Day for a panel
discussion on the future of the Internet and Web with Tim
Berners-Lee, Vint Cerf, Jun Murai, moderated by Jeff Jaffe; and
breakout discussions on a a variety of topics. We will be happy
to be showing Laura Poitras’ Citizen Four documentary after
work on Thursday. Nearly 580 people registered –a 15% increase
compared to TPAC 2014 in California. This is our record
attendance in the fifteen TPAC weeks we’ve organized since
2001. Although participation in TPAC is limited to those
already in W3C groups, the TPAC proceedings are public and will
be made available shortly after the meeting. Follow the meeting
on social networking sites with tag #tpac. W3C also welcomes
registered Web developers and interested parties this evening
to a W3C Meetup.

Web Notifications is a W3C Recommendation
22 October 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5096>
The Web Notification Working Group has published a W3C
Recommendation of "Web Notifications." Web Notifications
defines an API for end-user notifications. A notification
allows alerting the user outside the context of a web page of
an occurrence, such as the delivery of email.

W3C launches Web Payments Working Group
21 October 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5088>
[] W3C launched today the Web Payments Working Group to
streamline the online “check-out” process and make payments
easier and more secure on the Web. W3C’s long-term goal is to
enable a harmonized payment experience on the web, regardless
of the device being used and whether the transaction takes
place in an application or in-store.
<http://www.w3.org/Payments/WG/>
<http://www.w3.org/Payments/WG/>
The Web Payments Working Group will create standard Application
Programming Interfaces to support a wide array of existing and
future payment methods, and allow payment instrument
registration and selection facilitated by the browser. Standard
APIs will establish a foundation for automated secure payments,
as well as simplified check-out and payment experience. This
will mean more payment options for merchants and users. It will
also be easier for Web developers to integrate existing and new
payment flows into their applications.
Read the Web Payments Working Group Charter FAQ, the full press
release and testimonials from W3C Members, including Bloomberg,
Deutsche Telekom, Digital Bazaar, ETA, Federal Reserve Bank,
Ingenico Labs, MAG, NACS, Qihoo360, Rabobank, Ripple and
WorldPay.

W3C Invites Implementations of Encoding
20 October 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5083>
The Internationalization Working Group invites implementation
of the Candidate Recommendation of "Encoding." The utf-8
encoding is the most appropriate encoding for interchange of
Unicode, the universal coded character set. Therefore, for new
protocols and formats, as well as existing formats deployed in
new contexts, this specification requires (and defines) the
utf-8 encoding.

First Public Working Draft: Internationalization Best Practices for
Spec Developers
20 October 2015
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5081>
The Internationalization Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Internationalization Best Practices for Spec
Developers." Developers of specifications need advice to
ensure that what they produce will work for communities around
the globe. This document provides a checklist of
internationalization-related considerations when developing a
specification.

Share-PSI Workshop: Maximising interoperability — core
vocabularies, location-aware data and more
<http://www.w3.org/2013/share-psi/workshop/berlin/>
Berlin, Germany
Hosted by Fraunhofer FOKUS
The fifth and final workshop in the Share-PSI series will
address the topic of maximising interoperability: core
vocabularies, location-aware data and more. The workshop is
explicitly interested in ideas, concepts and solutions that
directly or indirectly address the interoperability of open
data and PSI. As with all Share-PSI workshops, the aim is
to identify best practices in these areas with a focus on
Public Sector Information, although cultural heritage,
commercial and scientific data are also relevant.
