                              <p>I enjoyed living in Austin and I like to visit when I can. My <a href="http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/159">last trip was more for MIT research stuff</a>; this time it's W3C business.</p>

<p>I took SxSWi 2007 off my <a href="http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/#travl">travel schedule</a> when the TAG scheduled a meeting at MIT the week before, but I put it back on when I saw this panel:<br />
</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://2007.sxsw.com/interactive/programming/panels/?action=show&amp;id=IAP060128">Browser Wars Retrospective: Past, Present and Future Battlefields</a><br />
Tuesday, March 13th<br />
10:00 am - 11:00 am<br />
Arun Ranganathan  AOL<br />
Brendan Eich   CTO,   Mozilla<br />
Charles McCathieNevile   CSO,   Opera Software<br />
Chris Wilson   IE Platform Architect,   Microsoft</li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/2006/12/reinventing_html_update.html">reinventing HTML saga</a> culminated in a big announcement this week: <a href="http://www.w3.org/News/2007#item43">W3C Launches New HTML Working Group</a>. Chris Wilson and I are the co-chairs. Karl Dubost and I are working on the <a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/">HTML WG page</a> this week.<br />
</p>

<p>I fly into Austin Monday, just in time to see the <cite><a href="http://microformats.org/wiki/events/2006-03-13-the-growth-and-evolution-of-microformats">Growth and Evolution of Microformats</a></cite> panel; then I fly home Tuesday. The <a href="http://2007.sxsw.com/interactive/programming/panels/">panel schedule</a> has so much cool stuff from content developers that I would have loved to go for the whole thing... not to mention the music festival.<br />
</p>

<p>If you can catch me while I'm there, I'll have some <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/">Mobile Web Best Practices</a> flip cards to hand out.</p>

<p>Shawn Henry is presenting <cite>Accessiblity: A Report From the Trenches</cite> this Sunday. See <a href="http://www.w3.org/Talks/">W3C Talks</a> for some more details.<br />
 </p>

I have lots of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dckc/tags/austin/">fond memories of Austin</a>; maybe we can make a few more next week?<br />
