The Australian Office of the W3C
I think to those coming to or interested in Web Directions, the W3C, or World Wide Web Consortium, founded by Sir Timothy Berners-Lee, will be very well known. We’ve had great presentations by Dean Jackson from the W3C the last two years, and this year he’s the coding judge for the McFarlane Prize.
Recently, CSIRO became the Australian Office of the W3C, and in this capacity they’ve already brought out some great W3 speakers like internationalization expert Richard Ishida, and we are looking forward to many more W3 speakers in the future.
The Australian W3C Office is the national contact point for W3C activities in Australia.
The Australian Office of the W3C has also just become a supporter of Web Directions, for which we are very grateful. So keep an eye out for Dean Jackson, Jason Pickersgill, and Ross Ackland from the W3C at Web Directions.
Great reading, every weekend.
We round up the best writing about the web and send it your way each Friday.
