#thewebconf — Public Fediverse posts

The Web Conference 2026 (Dubai, April 13-17): Registration deadline is March 10, but organizers won't decide if it's in-person or virtual until March 15.

How do you plan travel, pick a registration tier, or get institutional approval without knowing the format?

#TheWebConf #AcademicLife

Following my recent trip to attend #TheWebConf in Singapore 🇸🇬, I wrote a trip report 🧳 for my colleagues (and you) to share some of the things that I learned: https://blog.tomayac.com/2024/05/22/the-web-conf-2024-singapore-trip-report/. Surprise: this edition was dominated heavily by #LLMs, #AI, and how all this affects the #Web, but also #accessibility and #security. I co-organized the Resource track 🧑‍🎓 and had a paper in the History of the Web track.

Just finished the presentation of my #TheWebConf History of the Web track paper on "Toward Making Opaque Web Content More Accessible: Accessibility From Adobe Flash to Canvas-Rendered Apps":

Starting my trip to #TheWebConf in Singapore 🇸🇬. I'm co-chair of the Resource track (https://www2024.thewebconf.org/calls/resource) and will present a paper in the History of the Web track (https://www2024.thewebconf.org/calls/history-web) on "Toward Making Opaque Web Content More Accessible: Accessibility From Adobe Flash to Canvas-Rendered Apps". Anyone else from my timeline at the conference?

📢 At the upcoming #TheWebConf 2024, Michael Hausenblas and I are responsible for the Resource track: https://www2024.thewebconf.org/calls/resource/. The Resource track is distinct from the academic tracks. In this track, we focus on the underpinning foundations that led to novel research results or deployed industry solutions.

Anyone interested in contributing an overview of the history of Mastond, fediverse, and its predecessor? Sounds very timely...

another #fediverse flashback: in 2007 i was a student volunteer at the international web conference in Banff, Canada (now #theWebConf). that was high noon of web 2.0 and i was about to start my final thesis project. at the internal conference reception—after gathering some courage🍷—i spoke to Tim-Berners Lee about the chances of a decentralized social web: i remember him referring to the FOAF ontology and that the pieces were already present. i guess it still took some time to put them together…

Just found the time to listen to @robin 's keynote at the CONSENT workshop last week at #thewebconf. I was positively surprised. It gives a great overview of the current problem landscape, argues with the aim of autonomy and suggests more complex solutions, and governance structures instead of the common call for more simplicity.

The recording is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3k4sdVEJ14

Finally decided to join #Mastodon after listening to @sandro talk on decentralized social media at #TheWebConf yesterday. Really inspiring: build the protocol standard(s) and let the natural forces of decentralization take over.
