Last week @seth posted some of his thoughts on #w3cTPAC

"I had a lot of conversations with members via zoom and in person, in the hallways, during breaks and meals. While some concerns about our future and the future of the web were voiced, there is a clear expression of optimism across our community, and genuine commitment to making the web work for everyone."

Last month, we celebrated three decades of @w3c and the incredible global impact of its web standards.
In this talk, @tink reflects on the past 30 years, especially her many encounters with the W3C. She concludes that the true accomplishment isn't the standards and specifications, but the incredible people of the Web community she has had the privilege to work with.

Despite many threats, @npdoty (@CenDemTech) believes in the web's potential to uphold human rights. However, the community must prioritize integrating human rights into the design of web technologies. Offline rights are now tied to online safety, demanding collective efforts.

#w3cTPAC axiom:
------
In any meetings, it will be very likely at a point, that there will be 3 to 4 ex-Opera (Presto time) people, now working for other companies.
------

Opera Browser (Presto time) has been essential for the Web standards world by driving the technical work and teaching to engineers to participate.

#w3cTPAC is so many different things at the same time to me. First, it’s an intense week of work—it puts me temporarily in charge of an order of magnitude more people than usual.

But it’s also the one time each year I get to see so many colleages, some of whom have become dear friends.

We all come to @w3c because we believe the web is special and precious, but the web got that way precisely because of the dedicated people that make it that way, one day and one step at a time.
