What offices do
A W3C Office is a regional arm that helps recruit Members
and promote W3C technology.
The primary roles of a W3C Office are to:
-
Recruit stake-holders in the region by
introducing them to W3C, developing relationships with
local technology or policy leaders, and guiding
organizations through the steps for joining W3C
-
Provide support for existing W3C Members in
the region
-
Provide feedback to W3C on regional issues
(for example, in support of W3C's Internationalization
Activity)
- Promote the adoption of W3C Recommendations with a
particular attention to the local languages and
cultures
- Initiate translations and help others
translate W3C materials and promote their dissemination

Always something goes right, something goes wrong…
However, according to Murphy's law:
Anything that can possibly go wrong, does
- For everything that goes right, thanks to the W3c
Italy staff and in particular:
- Adriana
- Claudia
- Massimo
- Patrizia
- Raffaella
- …especially because I'm strictly following
another Murphy's law:
-
If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get
done
Conclusion
- To save the investments consider
technological evolution and standards
-
W3C with its members drives the web
evolution
- Ask not “What the Web can do for
me”…
- …but ask: “What I can do for the
Web”
-
means participate as
actor to the development of Web Standards
