World Wide Web Foundation Launches Operations and First Projects

15 November 2009 | Archive

http://www.w3.org/News/2009#entry-8654

Speaking at the Internet Governance Forum in Sharm el Sheikh,
Egypt, Tim Berners-Lee announced today that World Wide Web
Foundation is open for business. World Wide Web Foundation was
created with W3C's support in September 2008, and focuses on
advancing the Web as a medium that empowers people to make
positive social and economic change. Web Foundation's first two
projects will help people to better leverage the Web to support
agriculture in near-desert environments in Africa, and
empowering youth in inner-city centers by teaching them how to
create Web content. Such projects are consistent with W3C's own
work to ensure that One Web is available to all, including work
on mobile Web for social development, accessibility, and
internationalization. W3C looks forward to collaborating with
World Wide Web Foundation to further lower barriers to access
and to promote the development of free and open Web standards.

Workshops

* 17 NOV 2009
Workshop on Access Control Application Scenarios
http://www.w3.org/2009/policy-ws/cfp
Luxembourg (City)
W3C and Primelife Project
This workshop brings together worldwide research and user
communities to explore evolving application scenarios for
access control technologies, such as XACML. Results form a
number of recent European research projects in the grid,
cloud computing, and privacy areas show overlapping use
cases for these technologies that extend beyond classical
intra-enterprise applications. At this workshop, we will
explore commonalities between different application
scenarios, and standardization needs (at W3C and elsewhere)
above and beyond the technology substrate that exists
today.

Whoops, due to a small bug, now fixed, the newsletter appears twice in
this week's plain-text version.
