Sadly, I will be unable to attend in person this year but I pray there is someone out there willing to go into bat for the following HTML5 epoch defining functionality: -
Background Web App GeoLocation: - "Vanguard of an Orwellian dystopia" or simply "Essential, life-enriching, reality augmentation of the human condition?" - How W3C standards regulation has managed to thread the needle of personal privacy protection and civil liberties. I see no reason why this should not be the Lisbon TPAC "keynote", and the TABERNA Web-App's ability to track opt-in conference members between sessions is sure to be a hoot! As of last night Jake Archibald is penciled in for the keynote but it's not too late to throw your hat in the ring! Cometh the hour . . .
