Meet the TAG (and friends), Seattle

The W3C TAG (Technical Architecture Group) is in charge of coordinating cross-technology architecture and the principles of web architecture at the World Wide Web Consortium - in other words, it’s kind of a technical steering group for web standards. We’re having a face to face meeting coming up in Seattle (hosted by Microsoft). We're working on a host of design reviews across the spectrum of emerging web technologies.

As part of our time here we'll be holding a developer meet-up on the evening of the 26th of July (also hosted by Microsoft at their Reactor event space) where we can let you know what we're up to and get feedback from the web developer community about your priorities. ).

Members of TC39 will also be joining us!

Format for the day will be an mini-unconference, kicking off with some lightning talks. Confirmed lightning speakers are:

• Nell Waliczek of Amazon Sumerian speaking about the Immersive Web
• Brenna Flood speaking about NPM and TC39
• Bradley Meck How treating TC39 as a downstream spec can constrain the language
• Kevin Smith What kind of language is JavaScript?

Doors will open at 18:00. We'll start at 18:30 and plan to wrap up by 20:00 with beer/soft drinks and a taco bar.

Come along find out what else we're working on, get a heads-up of new Web standards and technologies in development and air the web technology issues that matter to you.
