Inside W3C: Standards, Interoperability, Participation

The W3C as one of the world's key standardization body, has been supporting so-called community groups for a number of years now. These groups have expanded the possibilities to contribute and make suggestions to technical standards on the Web to a broader community.

A lot of groups and individuals worldwide are active in these groups and contribute to shaping the Web. In this meetup, we aim at gathering people active in W3C Standardisation Groups, Community groups and genuinely interested in Standards to talk about the future of the Web and its technologies, and which role standards will play to keep the Web an open-access platform for everyone.
