We discussed the context and goals of bringing better #MachineLearning primitives to the Web when the original physical workshop was first announced
https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/1224740848144920576

A new #W3CWorkshop on the horizon: the Web and #MachineLearning workshop, originally planned in March as a physical event, is becoming a virtual event built as a set of pre-recorded talks and live discussions https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1269931509089214464

To bring your perspective on how Web #browsers should evolve to accompany the deployment of #MachineLearning #services and #applications, please consider applying to give a talk at the event https://www.w3.org/2020/06/machine-learning-workshop/speakers.html

.@wseltzer, W3C Head of Strategy, presents recent changes to the Strategy Funnel where @w3c records its new and upcoming work (#CommunityGroup, #W3CWorkshop, #WorkingGroup, etc.):
https://www.w3.org/2020/05/AC/talk/strategy-funnel#align
https://youtu.be/SPGDlB89OMk

The Strategy Funnel tracks exploration, investigation, incubation, evaluation and chartering of @w3c's work. It is developed in #github to help with early engagement: https://github.com/w3c/strategy/projects/2
https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/982232776920334339

Thx to the #community shaping #Webstandards, the Web helped people endure the challenges of social distancing and remote work. Wrt #Covid_19, two #CommunityGroups, were created: https://www.w3.org/community/web-vs-covid19/ (data sharing) and https://www.w3.org/community/covid-19/ (remote work practices and tools)

... and the joint @w3c / @opengeospatial "Maps for the Web" workshop: https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1268895102799396865

As for #W3CWorkshops, @wseltzer introduces the ones that are scheduled for #2020: the "Web and #MachineLearning" workshop: https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/1270381752893280257

Other @w3c workshops under consideration are related to "User-friendly Smart Agents on the Web - Voice interaction": https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/221 and to "Bundling Interactive Media Content on the Web": https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/209

As co-chair of @tag, @torgo gives an update of recent Technical Architecture Group (TAG) activities and how best to engage with the TAG going forward: https://www.w3.org/2020/05/AC/talk/tag-update#align or directly on @w3c's new #youtubechannel: https://youtu.be/3Cp5ExEXkCg

Dan Appelquist first explains the @tag's mission and deliverables - see our summary: https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/957974903122219008

The @tag also works on the "Web Platform Design Principles" document, primarily designed for spec #developers. These principles have been collected during the TAG's discussions in the context of design reviews:
https://w3ctag.github.io/design-principles/

Design reviews are core to @tag's work, along joint work with other groups and #developer community engagement. All requested reviews take place in the Design Review #github repo in the issues registry:
https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues

The @tag also updated its "Security and Privacy Self Review Questionnaire" (by @lukOlejnik) which helps spec. authors to think about all the #security and #privacy issues that they might have, within any particular specification:
https://w3ctag.github.io/security-questionnaire/

It also refers to the TAG "Ethical Web Principles", where each principle is now individually linkable:
https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/ethical-web-principles/ Hear @torgo explain the motivations behind this doc. (itw recorded during #w3cTPAC2019): https://youtu.be/MeppC87Werg

To make the Web world-ready, lots are happening in the @webi18n initiative, led by @ri, as summarized in this presentation last month: https://www.w3.org/2020/05/AC/talk/i18n#align (with Chinese, Japanese and Korean captioning) or on YouTube: https://youtu.be/PKA_6ABpBpg

For #developers and #browsers implementers, @webi18n's language enablement framework is a set of tools and procedures to make sure that text layout and typographic needs of world scripts and languages are built into @w3c technologies (#HTML5, #CSS, etc.):
https://w3c.github.io/typography/

For #users and content #authors, the @webi18n Language Matrix tracks 79 languages and displays their support on the Web in the form of a 'heat map': https://w3c.github.io/typography/gap-analysis/language-matrix.html

To explore gaps in language support on the Web, @webi18n is continuously looking for expert contributors to collaborate and help move this work forward by documenting gaps, and creating tests. All the work and technical discussions are happening in #github https://www.w3.org/International/layout

The language matrix cells (colored in dark green, light green, orange and red) link to gap-analysis sections that each describe the problem, the current level of support in specifications and browsers, and the severity of the problem for the user.

See also this video where @ri presents how W3C Internationalization makes a reality of the Web being World Wide, and introduces the Internationalization Initiative which is reinforcing that program: https://youtu.be/mx2eDHujM4c

.@webi18n has recently published 21 documents that explore gaps in language support:
https://twitter.com/webi18n/status/1273232132727623681

Hear, hear! The @w3c_systeam released new pages presenting the @w3c groups. This work consisted in structuring and organizing a wide range of somewhat scattered resources available on http://w3.org, and making them easier to find and use: https://www.w3.org/groups/

The work is not done yet as more info will be added in the future, such as groups' meeting calendars and #github
references.

These public pages highlight a variety of groups which enable @w3c to pursue its mission through the creation of #WebStandards, guidelines, and supporting materials: #WorkingGroups #CommunityGroups #BusinessGroups and #InterestGroups, + 2 permanent groups (@w3ctag
and @ab)

#CommunityGroups and #BusinessGroups give #developers, #designers, and anyone passionate about the Web a place to hold discussions and publish ideas. These groups are proposed and run by the #community:
https://www.w3.org/community/

#InterestGroups act as forum for the exchange of ideas. They bring together people who wish to evaluate potential #Web #technologies and policies: https://www.w3.org/groups/ig/

#WorkingGroups typically produce deliverables (e.g., #WebStandards, technical reports, #software, test suites, and reviews of the deliverables of other groups): https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/

This new set of pages will be integrated in the full site redesign W3C is conducting over the next few months. Stay tuned!

#browser engine #developers, #GPU #hardware vendors, #3D software engineers, etc. are invited to read this proposed charter from the "#GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) for the Web" #w3c #WorkingGroup:
https://www.w3.org/2020/06/gpuweb-charter.html https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1273585590026592260

This #YouTube channel, called W3COfficial, is 'unsurprisingly' the official place where we intend to post @w3c videos we produce (mostly interviews and talks): https://www.youtube.com/W3COfficial

You may have noticed in our tweets the past few weeks that we point to videos hosted on @YouTube e.g.
https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/1275777833416212481

W3COfficial already hosts videos from past workshops, e.g. the Web & Games #W3CWorkshop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjF_f--i13Y&list=PLNhYw8KaLq2VudeCD36bbVAf_F_6sHyT7 #w3cgames2019

... or our past #developer #meetups e.g. this one in 2019 #w3cdevs2019
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNhYw8KaLq2Voakn_PdQY2mrFoU2yAtPA

We've created a few thematic playlists - let us know if you have any feedback on how the channel is organized and what other materials you might like to find there!
