W3C Workshop Program:
The Multilingual Web: Where Are We?
26-27 October 2010, Madrid, Spain
This table lists speakers and provides links to slides, to video clips, and to the IRC log for the W3C workshop held in Madrid, 26-27 October 2010, entitled "The Multilingual Web - Where Are We?".
The IRC log is the raw scribe log, which has not undergone careful post-editing and may contain errors or omissions. It should be read with that in mind. It constitutes the best efforts of the scribes to capture the gist of the talks and discussions that followed, in real time. IRC was used not only to capture notes on the talks, but can be followed in real time by remote participants, or participants with accessibility problems. People following on IRC can also add contributions to the flow of text themselves.
Some video links are missing, either because the speaker requested it or in some cases due to technical problems. In one case an audio track is available, rather than a video.
