Thanks to all those who attended last nights Sydney WSG. We had 38 people, so it was another big night.
There were three topics covered. 1. WE04 update John Allsopp talked about the upcoming Sydney Web Essentials conference (http://we04.com). One exciting addition to the program will be the "Web Standards Smackdown". Joe Clark, Doug Bowman and Dave Shea, as well as Dean Jackson from W3C and Nigel McFarlane from Mozilla - will all be on stage together for a final "smackdown". Each of them will be given 5 minutes to state their case for web standards - the most persuasive, entertaining and eloquent will win. It should be an exciting finale to the conference. 2. Web Standards Checklist I did the first presentation: http://www.maxdesign.com.au/presentation/checklist/ A more detailed article will follow in the next week on this. 3. Ben bishop - Desperately seeking validation Ben was under the weather, so Mark Stanton bravely did Ben's presentation with less that 10 minutes notice. Luckily Ben was very prepared. Ben will give us the Powerpoint presentation in the near future and we'll make it available. Both Ben and Mark will be speaking at the WE04 in September. http://we04.com/presenters.cfm#bishop http://we04.com/presenters.cfm#stanton Thanks again Russ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
