(Third) W3C Web and TV Workshop 19-20 September 2011 Hollywood, California, USA http://www.w3.org/2011/09/webtv/ Following the success of its regional workshops in Tokyo, Japan and Berlin, Germany, the W3C will host a third workshop on Web and TV convergence in Hollywood, California on 19-20 September, 2011. In the previous two workshops, participants identified opportunities for convergence of Web and TV infrastructure and began identifying technical challenges. This third workshop will continue these efforts, with a particular focus on the needs of content creators and distributors. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to discuss and debate some of the initial requirements arising in the Web and TV Interest Group that began its work in February 2011. It is expected that starting this fall, these requirements will drive W3C Working Group activity, defining new standards for the Web. Although we anticipate significant participation from organizations in North America, all W3C Workshops are international and we encourage participation from relevant industries all over the world. See below for important dates and requirements for participation; more information is available on the Workshop home page. If you have any questions, please contact Kazuyuki Ashimura <ashimura@w3.org>.
