April was a pretty crazy month. I held a WAF Working Group meeting at QUT, left the HTML Working Group, and then took a week off to walk the Overland Track in Tasmania (flickr photos!).

The working group meeting went well despite the fairly average attendance: we only had six members attend. I had hoped that at least 10 people would show up. On the upside, I finally got to meet Cameron McCormack and Lachlan Hunt (two new Australian recruits to the WAF Working Group) and we got lots of stuff done. The other people who attended included Art Barstow (Nokia, the Working Group chair), Guido Grassel (Nokia), and the always entertaining Anne van Kesteren (see picture, on the left). The minutes of the meeting are publically available at the w3c.

• April 17: Widgets requirements and spec.
• April 18: Access control, XBL 2.0
• April 19: All other business.

The meeting centered around our current work:

• Widgets
• Widgets reqs
• Access-control
• XBL 2.0
• XBL Primer
• XBL Test Suite

And Anne van Kesteren gave a presentation to QUT staff and students about the future of HTML… HTML5. (more…)

Recently got back from the Boston Face 2 Face meeting. While there I visited MIT, Nokia Research, and France Telecom (Orange) research labs. Check out the photos on flickr.
