OnLine Help Conference Europe 2003

Michael Wilson from the UK and Ireland Office of W3C will be speaking on at OnLine Help Conference Europe 2003 on 2nd June 2003 in London on Tim Berners-Lee's vision of the "roadmap" for the Web, covering 1. UI and accessibility 2. Web services 3. Semantic Web.

W3C Semantic Web Tour 2003

W3C will be organising a Tour of one day events on the Semantic Web around European cities during June 2003. The UK and Ireland regional event is planned for June 12th in London. Speakers will include W3C staff as well as UK and Ireland industrial organisations who can present the benefits of Semantic Web technology. The event will be free.

First Latin American web congress, Santiago 2003 (call for papers)

The First Latin American web congress will be held in Santiago on November 10-12 2003.

International researchers, technologists, and leaders from academia, industry, and government will gather at LA-WEB to present, demonstrate, and discuss the latest developments of the Web and how they can be used to empower the Latin American Web.

The technical programme will include refereed paper presentations, alternate track presentations (see below), plenary sessions, panels, and poster sessions. Tutorials will precede the main program.

During the past years, Chile has been the most stable growing economy in the region, and is one of the regional leaders in information technology and telecommunications. Santiago, with more than 5 million inhabitants, is not only the capital of Chile, but also its financial and administrative heart. The city was founded in 1541 and is located at the foot of the Andes Mountains and only one hour away from the Pacific Ocean, thus being the ideal point to start tours to the north (desert), south (lakes and glaciers) or west (Easter island).

W3C Semantic Tour, Europe 10-24 June

2 April 2003: W3C holds a series of one day events in Rome, London, Munich, Athens and Brussels from 10-24 June. The W3C Semantic Tour promotes W3C technologies that bring to the Web more effective discovery, automation, integration, and reuse of data. Organizers come from the W3C Italy, UK and Ireland, Germany, Greece and Benelux Offices. All events are open to the public and free of charge.

Amaya Activity Closed

16 April 2003: Based on response from the Membership, W3C will gradually reduce the amount of Team resources spent on Amaya from currently 1.5 FTE to 1.0 FTE this August, freeing up resources for other tasks. Amaya ceases to be a W3C Activity. Amaya continues as an Open Source project through contributions from W3C and INRIA. Development of Amaya inside W3C has moved on to the Systems Team.

Jigsaw Activity Closed

1 May 2003: Consortium-wide discussion has led to the closing of the Jigsaw Activity. Resource allocation to Jigsaw has already been reduced dramatically, and currently W3C's only resource expenditure on Jigsaw is for essential maintenance in support of production work (including the Consortium's own servers). Where appropriate, Jigsaw may be used in future non Member-funded, external projects as a development platform for demonstrating W3C technologies.

XML Signature and XML Encryption Activities Closed

13 May 2003: Based on the successful completion of all chartered deliverables, the XML Signature and XML Encryption Activities are closed. The XML Signature Activity delivered four W3C Recommendations and sixteen interoperable implementation reports. XML Signature was the first joint W3C-IETF Working Group. The XML Encryption Activity delivered two W3C Recommendations and five interoperable implementation reports. W3C thanks Joseph Reagle, the Activity Lead for both Activities, for his commitment to consensus-based work across organizations. W3C wishes to thank Donald Eastlake 3rd, co-Chair, XML Signature Working Group, for his contributions.
