How to use this page

Please use this page to:

  • Propose sessions you wish to lead
  • Please place new proposals at the bottom of this document

How to propose a session

Please provide:

    • session name (as a === subhead === )
    • session proposer (yourself, if so sign using 4 tildes; optional: name a desired session leader) and an email address
    • one sentence session summary
    • type of session: (e.g.: open discussion, talk, panel, tutorial, demo, etc.)
    • goals of session
    • additional speakers/panelists (to help reduce conflicts when one person is needed in more than one place)
    • opt-in to be a #Public_Breakout open to participation from the public at large
    • a shortname that can be used to associate an IRC or Slack channel to your breakout
    • by default, we expect breakout to happen at 2pm UTC for one hour during the week of October 26 to allow participation from as many timezones as possible; if your breakout cannot happen at 2pm UTC, or if your breakout can be scheduled to happen across multiple repeated instances at different time (e.g. for a tutorial, demos), please indicate it
      • single instance TPAC breakout sessions proposed outside of the 2pm slot are subject to validation by the organizing committee
    • if your breakout needs to happen on a subset of the 5 days of the week, please also indicate it

Public Breakout

In addition to the usual breakout discussions organized for the traditional TPAC community (IG/WG participants, W3C member representatives), we are trying something new this year. We plan to open a set of breakouts to the broader public, in an effort to bring more diverse voices into the W3C community. We feel this is necessary to ensure the fullest range of users and perspectives is represented and encoded in our web standards.

Breakout proposers are invited to opt-in to make their breakout open to the public in order to invite a wider and more diverse set. While there aren't clearly defined limits to what topics would benefit from this, we encourage Public Breakouts to focus on use cases or ergonomics of a technology, and to provide upfront onboarding and context for any breakouts that include deep technical dive.

The W3C devrel team and their partners will work with Public Breakout proposers to ensure their breakouts are as welcoming and kind as possible when joining their first W3C or Web standardization discussion. For anyone who opts in to propose a Public Breakout , we will be offering dedicated training sessions the week before TPAC breakouts on the topic of facilitating accessible discussions.

(Many thanks to Boaz Sender, Sheila Moussavi, Jory Burson, Laura Lee McCarthy who have been working with Marie-Claire Forgue and Dominique Hazael-Massieux in setting this up)

W3C Focus and Shared Core Values

  • shortname: focusvalues
  • default timezone or later ok
  • longer description: Should W3C focus on building a membership & community based on a shared set of core values? Recruiting to generate revenue (without regard to how new members' agendas will mesh with the good of the web) rather than reinforcing coherent shared principles and values to move the web forward has led to conflicts about things such as SOAP vs HTTP, DRM vs freely shareable information, and ad revenue vs privacy. When W3C had an active Director that made consistent trusted value judgments, the current W3C hierarchy worked reasonably well, but in a post-Director W3C who makes those judgments? If we expect the W3C community to pick up what the Director left off, it may be necessary to be more explicit about our core values, and be rigorous about applying those values when determining which work to charter and how to resolve objections.
