Attention London Standardistas!
Once again, I will be hosting a Web Standards Meetup London at the
Print Works, in Farringdon. Tonight, Tuesday at 7 PM.
More detail at:
http://webstandards.meetup.com/130/calendar/
Rough agenda for the day:
While we are keen to support the latest browsers with the tightest
standards, with more people using mobile devices (except for
Jason ;-)! ) we will need to see a copy of our sites work for them as
well, with a reasonable experience. How do we get our clients/
employers to understand this need alongside the usefulness and needs
of complying with standards? Is it an additional pressure, or a
parallel one?
I'm hoping the Accessibility experts will show, so that we can
discuss what their understanding for a mobile device might be. And
how do we do UCD for mobile (since there is so much less to control)
and are there a reasonable pool of users out there to test with yet?
And finally, with all these sites needing to be more standards
compliant and user-friendly out there, and many of them Gov sites and
public services sites, should we be campaigning and challenging prize-
winners and prize-givers to think of the standards before awarding or
even considering websites? should we consider starting up our own
grass roots prizes (or worst-of lists) to glorify stars or embarrass
failures?
Will that do for a agenda, Standardistas? See you down the Print
Works, hopefully in the arch nearest the bar... (Anyone notice the
irony of having a meting about digital publishing in a former print
works? ;-) ) but otherwise at one of the tables to the right of the
bar, in one of the nooks. I'll be the baldy with the macBook and a
picture of a wasp!.
Thanks for your attention.
