#worldstandardsday — Public Fediverse posts

Since today is #WorldStandardsDay, it is good to remember Andy Tanenbaum:

The good thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.

On the #W3C blog @seth positions our new logo & tagline as one step towards achieving key strategic goals by raising awareness.

"While the web has had and will continue to have a significant impact on the global economy, ultimately our mission is far more than that, we make the web work — for everyone. In honor of #WorldStandardsDay please celebrate the impact of our work for an open web. Share with your network of contacts the many ways in which you can support us."

Volgende week op #WorldStandardsDay vertel ik tijdens de Dag van de Interoperabiliteit van het @forumstandaardisatie over #OpenCloudMesh (OCM).

Dit is een open standaard waarmee bestanden gedeeld kunnen worden tussen onafhankelijke clouds, zonder centrale tussenpartij. Ontstaan in 2015 bij GÉANT, gedragen door CS3.org (CERN, SURF, SWITCH, Nextcloud e.a.).

Federatie, maar dan echt 🥷🏿

International standards affect every aspect of our modern lives. The experts that help develop standards come from industry, government, academia, regulators, and consumer groups.

Tomorrow is World Standards Day! Here's something I bet you didn't know:

International standards make things work.

They provide instructions, guidelines, rules or definitions that are then used to design, manufacture, install, test and certify, maintain and repair the products and services we use daily.

From charging your phone to safer public transport, there are international standards for almost everything!

Want to know more about international standards? Here is something you probably didn't know.

Where they come from

International standards are developed by leading minds from industry, NGOs, governments, and other stakeholders, who are put forward by IEC, ISO and ITU members.

These experts are grouped into committees dealing with different subjects, from data storage to space exploration.
