Diary

I call this a diary rather than a blog. It's the page where I add or link to new stuff with content arranged in date order, rather than where I regularly write short pieces on what I'm doing… although some of this does read rather like a blog!

W3C Team Day

Off to Boston essentially for the day to attend my first W3C Team Day. Fly out Friday, fly home Sunday. I hear they're good fun!

9-12 March

A busy week. I'm in Brussels at the EU at the start of the week for a final project review before moving on to Düsseldorf at the end of the week for a meeting to discuss computer game rating. None of this is public domain so there's not a lot to say but, well, it might come out into the open one day …

Mashup* Location - It's Moving On …

The latest Mashup event that's taking me to London. I'm doing this wearing my W3C hat as location is clearly a key piece of the mobile Web.

Unusually for me I've not tried to grab any speaking time but I'll be sure to make my presence felt somehow.

The Mobile Augmented Reality Summit

I need to write a paper and that paper needs to be accepted so I can't be more than 'reasonably confident' of attending this exciting workshop at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (but I've booked my flights!). The plan is to talk about what features already exist, or are close to existing, that can enable Augmented Reality to be available using Web technologies.

The event is a good precursor to an AR workshop being held as part of WWW2010 in April.

Joint WIPO-ITU Accessibility Workshop

I've been invited to give a talk on the relationship between Accessibility and the mobile Web at a joint meeting of WIPO and the ITU in Geneva. My colleauge Shadi Abou-Zahra will talk about Accessibility and I'll pick up the mobile theme (they have a lot in common!).

Quite a presitgious occasion so I'm very pleased to be asked to do this one.
