@eva_trostlos #fronteersConf #csslove

Now awaiting for many many (all?) @fronteers' Web #developers and #designers to contribute/test for the #WebPlatform. Thank you Rachel ;) https://twitter.com/rachelandrew/status/1179732850213564419

The deadline was extended until end of this week - if you're interested, hurry up, there are only a few seats remaining. https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/1179091080261836800

The #WebXR Device API has been split into 3 modules: a core module covering what WebVR used to provide, a gamepad module covering interactions with gamepads, and an AR module to cover the basic primitives for augmented reality https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1182238893732777984

The links to the github repositories and editors drafts are available from the @ImmersiveWebW3C github home page https://immersive-web.github.io/ along with all the other #ImmersiveWeb proposals under discussion

During #w3cTPAC last month, @atopal says a big thank you to the 76K+ #Web #developers and #designers from 173 countries who participated in the @MDN Developer Needs Assessment survey!
https://vimeo.com/showcase/6372516/video/366244022

Kadir Topal unveiled some interesting survey results about Web technologies' adoption, frustration and satisfaction - see slides at https://www.w3.org/2019/Talks/TPAC/MDN-WEB-DNA.pdf as well as notes from the #w3cTPAC related breakout session:
https://w3c.github.io/tpac-breakouts/sessions.html#mdn

Final results and report out of the survey will be published at the end of the month - stay tuned for more insights on what the community expects from the #WebPlatform!

In this new video, @jorydotcom explains how the @openjsf #JavaScript projects help make the lives of #Web #developers better by solving problems ranging from #Node to #a11y, #i18n, and more!
https://vimeo.com/showcase/6372516/video/366243791

Find out how easy it is to participate in the 32 @openjsf #OpenSource projects that operate on #github and other avenues (slack, weekly meetings on YT, etc.):
https://openjsf.org/collaboration/

At last #w3cTPAC, there were also discussions about opportunities to build and strengthen healthy collaborations between @openjsf projects and @w3c groups. Read notes at https://w3c.github.io/tpac-breakouts/sessions.html#openjs

At last #FronteersConf, @rachelandrew explains why and how you should engage with @w3c as a #Web #developer https://twitter.com/rachelandrew/status/1184106921932054529

Based on her participation as a #developer in @csswg and more recently as a #w3c representative for @fronteers, Rachel shares her experience and reminds that everyone is allowed/encouraged to create #WebPlatform features - you don't need permission!

As a long-time participant in @csswg, she knows that @w3c #WorkingGroups are very happy when #developers and #designers offer feedback on specifications. It could be any spec.!

and 6) write Web platform tests!
https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/986283413316472837

So, don't think twice and get started: 1) read and comment on specification issues 2) show use cases 3) contribute examples and diagrams 4) raise browser bugs 5) test and offer feedback on features behind flags ...

After raising an issue, remember that patience is required for #WebPlatform contributions. As Rachel puts it: "It's not that people don't care, it's because they are few people editing specs, with priorities and because we are working on stuff that is very much in the future."

.@rachelandrew is also sharing some of these advices in @smashingmag, along with a call for actions and contributions!

If you want to learn more about the current status and next steps for #WebXR, listen directly from the expert, with the just-released video of @Lady_Ada_King presentation at our #w3cdevs2019 meetup last month #VirtualReality #VR #AR #AugmentedReality
https://www.w3.org/2019/09/Meetup/speaker-ada.html

.@Lady_Ada_King covers among other things the evolution of #WebXR in a more modular approach, as we described it last week:
https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/1182285476012666883

This followed on the proposal made to incubate #WebMonetization in the @wicg_ back in August
https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-web-monetization-a-new-revenue-model-for-the-web/3785

#WebMonetization is a proposed #API standard that allows #websites to request a stream of very small #payments from a user. Getting #WebMonetization on the @w3c standards track was discussed at a breakout session during the plenary day of #w3cTPAC:
https://w3c.github.io/tpac-breakouts/sessions.html#webmonetization

During #w3cTPAC last month, we recorded a quick interview of @justmoon on @Coil plans with #WebMonetization
https://vimeo.com/366243917

You can read up a more in depth interview of @justmoon by @ibjacobs a few weeks ago:
https://www.w3.org/blog/2019/09/w3c-interview-coil-on-interledger-protocol-and-web-monetization/

To learn more about the spec proposal for #WebMonetization, check out their explainer https://webmonetization.org/docs/explainer.html and their github repo: https://github.com/interledger/webmonetization.org/

Check out the interesting agenda! https://www.w3.org/2019/08/inclusive-xr-workshop/agenda.html
#XR standards gives the opportunity to innovate and explore topics ranging from #XR #accessibility user needs to #XR #accessibility (on the Web and beyond) on existing products and prototypes https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1186995440115425280

Thanks to host @PlutoVR and sponsors @Maveron @wemakerealities @VRWorldSociety and Seattle Immersive Technology Association for supporting this #W3CWorkshop chaired by @LeonieWatson of @TetraLogical

In this short video, @AmeliasBrain invites #developers and #designers' contributions for new #SVG features and requirements:
https://vimeo.com/366242912

As #w3c #InvitedExpert, @AmeliasBrain is involved in three
#WorkingGroups: @svgwg, @wai and @csswg #CSS #a11y #VectorGraphics
. She also chairs the recently formed #SVG #CommunityGroup, working hand in hand with @svgwg: https://www.w3.org/community/svgcg/

The main goal of this group is to make it easier for #developers and content creators in the #SVG community to engage with the standardization process.

So have your voice heard! Explore new ideas related to #SVG, test them out, get people excited about them, make proposals, etc.
https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/1105118740818128897

And, if you encounter browser implementation bugs or other concerns with current #SVG2 features, please file bug reports - it's very helpful too!

In this new short video, @wendy_a_reid of @kobo/@rakuten, reports on the current status and goals of the @w3c Publishing #WorkingGroup @w3cpublishing
https://vimeo.com/366243892

The @w3cpublishing's main focus now is to bring #accessibility to #publishing, specifically for #audiobooks to make them usable by users regardless of their ability. This spec. is a profile of the Publication Manifest. Find out more in the #github repo: https://github.com/w3c/audiobooks/

During our #w3cdevs2019 #meetup last month in #Fukuoka 🇯🇵, Alice Boxhall @sundress makes the case that #accessibility and #innovation actually go very well together:
https://www.w3.org/2019/09/Meetup/speaker-alice.html

Designing for accessibility leads to better solutions, and in her presentation, @sundress goes through a few examples from both recent and older history of technology where solving problems for people with #disability created solutions for everybody.

As an intersection between #accessibility and #innovation, next week's #W3CWorkshop on inclusive design for #ImmersiveWeb standards is full of promises! #WebXR #a11y
https://www.w3.org/2019/08/inclusive-xr-workshop/

Find out about VRM, a format for #3D #Avatars on the Web, with this recorded presentation of @FMS_Cat during our #w3cdevs2019 meetup last month in #Fukuoka
https://www.w3.org/2019/09/Meetup/speaker-yutaka.html

In this talk, Yutaka Obuchi @FMS_Cat focuses on the Web #API that helps an implementation of 3D character viewer and how they could be improved to make the Web an even better platform for 3D avatars.

Congrats to editors Wilco Fiers, @moekraft, @1mjmueller and @sabouzah for the newly published @w3c #WebStandard Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Rules Format 1.0, for writing shared #accessibility test rules - #timetoadopt! https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1189818330565292032

The global Web community and Japanese #developers came to listen to this year's exceptional speakers showing that the Web is an exciting development platform. See the videos of their presentations. With many thanks again to the #w3cdevs2019 sponsors who made it possible! https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1189894959756972033
