    I’m at the W3C TPAC, in Mandelieu, France, doing my small part to keep the web moving forward. It is always said that the best part of any conference is the non-standard face-to-face meetings: hallway chats, chance encounters, lunches, and dinners. I’ve been doing my best to take advantage of these moments, like hanging out with a mixture of Opera employees and some of the more active WhatWG members:

    Too much of our work happens over the internet (IRC, email, blogs, wikis, etc), for obvious reasons, and meeting in-person at least once a year gives you a chance to attach something more tangible to the experience. We each have our own “quirks mode” that is difficult to understand in a medium like email unless you’ve caught of the mannerisms, facial expressions, vocalizations, etc before hand.
