Responder Are you interested to attend an HTML WG meeting during the W3C Technical Plenary in November?Comments
Sebastian Schnitzenbaumer yes
Matthew Ratzloff no
Ian Hickson no Without any idea what the meeting would be for, it is unclear why we would want to meet.

It seems impractical to have a meeting with over 100 people present; and if we are not all present, since our charter requires us to allow asynchronous participation, it seems unlikely that we would actually be able to resolve any problems at a meeting.
Bill Mason no
Lachlan Hunt no Although I would like to attend, I will be unable to unless my travel/accommodation expenses were sponsored by another organisation, which seems unlikely.
Lars Erik Bolstad yes
Daniel Glazman yes I am always interested in meetings but such a meeting in Boston seems to me a pure utopy. Don't book a meeting room, book a lecture hall... A 150+ people meeting ? At least in Paris, a lot of people will attend only through IRC...
Colin Lieberman yes
Anne van Kesteren yes
Gavin James Pearce no Seperate work commitments place me in Dubai at that time.
Asbjørn Ulsberg no I live in Norway and participate in the HTML WG on a private basis. I can't afford travelling to the US for a meeting like this, although I'd love to go.
Mihai Sucan no Very similar to Asbjørn: I live in Romania and I participate in the HTML WG on a private basis. I can't afford travelling, even if, generally speaking, I'd like to go to various meetings.
Shawn Medero yes
Guillaume Guérin no As a student I can't pay a such travel.
Marco Battilana no
Tim McMahon yes
Laura Carlson no Self-supporting HTML WG member. Attending meetings is on my own nickel.
David Savage yes
Ryan King no
Murray Maloney yes
Sean Fraser yes It depends on how much has been accomplished between W3C HTML/WHAT Working Group(s) as well as any of my own schedule/budget factors that may arise in November.
Jirka Kosek no
Simon Pieters no Can't afford.
David Håsäther no
Magnus Kristiansen no Somewhat daunting this early + travel costs.
Kai Hendry no
Benjamin Chait no
Marcos Caceres yes I'm also self-funded, so if anyone wants to split the cost of a room with me please let me know.
Jough Dempsey yes
Yann Hamon no
David Dailey yes
Robert Brodrecht no
Olivier Thereaux yes
Jude Robinson no
David Andersson no
Sandy Smith yes
Laurens Holst no Live in Europe (Netherlands) at that time.
Masataka Yakura no
Krijn Hoetmer no
Preston Bannister no
Eira Monstad no
Sierk Bornemann no Although I would like to attend, I can't afford unless my travel/accommodation expenses were sponsored by another organisation, which seems unlikely. So, I favour participating to the HTML WG via IRC, via mailing list.
Daniel Lehtovirta yes I would really like to attend but I think I will not be able to do it.
James Graham no
Niels Leenheer no
Giovanni Gentili no
Gorm Haug Eriksen no
Gareth Hay yes
Niko Neugebauer no
Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo no I'm afraid that I won't be able to physically attend any such meeting (self-sustained and not able to travel at the moment)
Dean Edridge yes I would like to attend.
Julien Royer no
Sam Sneddon no I'm completely unable to get away in Nov (well, sadly, most of the year).
Matthew Freels no
Nicolas Le Gall no Self-supporting + student
Andrew Fedoniouk yes
Arthur Jennings yes I'd love to go, but it would depend on funding time off, etc.
Marvin Carlos yes
Josh Fremer yes
Tommaso Donnarumma no
Roger Johansson no
Yannick Croissant no Living in Paris
Carol King no
satish sangaru yes
Sander Tekelenburg no [1] I agree with Ian Hickson's objections and [2] a ftf meeting is way too costly for me both in terms of time and money, especially given [1] ;)
Isac Lagerblad no I cant't afford.
John-Mark Bell no Outside Europe isn't possible due to travel costs.
Denis Boudreau yes I'd be interested to, but I'll be hosting a conference around that time... I will however, if possible, attend remotely if the proper set up is made available.
Brad Fults no
Jon Sykes yes
Benoit Piette yes It might be possible for me to come. About 50%/50% chance. I might not have the funds necessary.
Theresa O'Connor yes
David McFarland yes
Craig Saila yes
Cameron McCormack yes I should be there already for the SVG WG meeting.
Erik van Kempen no
Eric Bednarz no
Doug Jones no
Henri Sivonen no

2. Are you interested to travel to an HTML WG meeting before November?

Perhaps around XTech in Paris in May, or perhaps on the US West coast.

If your answer is "it depends," please choose "yes" and say what it depends on in the comments field.

Again, not a binding commitment; just a statement of interest for planning purposes.

Responder Are you interested to travel to an HTML WG meeting before November?Comments
Sebastian Schnitzenbaumer yes
Matthew Ratzloff yes Only if on the West coast; preferably Seattle, WA.
Ian Hickson no If we do have a meeting, having it in Europe near XTech would be the most convenient time for me.
Bill Mason yes My interest would be US West Coast
Lachlan Hunt no Although I would like to, I will be unable to attend.
Lars Erik Bolstad yes
Daniel Glazman yes XTech ok.
US West coast very unlikely for health reasons, long-range planes are almost forbidden to me for a few months...
Colin Lieberman yes Prefer USA Meetings - less travel cost; Euros are expensive. USA West Coast is great.
Anne van Kesteren yes The meeting should be done before the 26th of May.
Gavin James Pearce yes Paris yes, US no.

Why not a UK base for a change?
Asbjørn Ulsberg no The same as the above, I can't afford it. If it was held in Scandinavia, the UK or something similar, I might come. But even Paris is too far away and too expensive for me, sorry.
Mihai Sucan no Again, travelling in Europe is also too expensive. I favour participating to the HTML WG via IRC, via mailing list.
Shawn Medero no
Guillaume Guérin yes It depends on where and when.
Marco Battilana yes I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. If this meeting were to be in Seattle, WA, then it's realistic for me to attend. Any further from Seattle and I would not be able to attend.
Tim McMahon no
Laura Carlson no Self-supporting HTML WG member. Attending meetings is on my own nickel.
David Savage no
Ryan King yes west coast, yes since it would be less (or no) travel for me.
Murray Maloney yes I could probably attend a North American FTF.
My ability to attend meetings outside of N.A.
is uncertain at best.
Sean Fraser yes Paris would be nice but I live in Los Angeles County: the US West Coast is closer.
Jirka Kosek yes parallel to XTech is my preference
Simon Pieters no Can't afford.
David Håsäther no
Magnus Kristiansen no Somewhat daunting this early + travel costs.
Kai Hendry yes Paris
Benjamin Chait no
Marcos Caceres no Depending on how many Australians there are, maybe we Aussies can have a mini-meeting/conference here in Brisbane in May. I'd be more than happy to host it at QUT...
Jough Dempsey yes I'd be happy to attend any meetings in Chicago, IL, USA.
Yann Hamon no
David Dailey yes depends on funding and timing -- should be after the middle of May (due to end of semester)
Robert Brodrecht yes If it were a weekend thing in California (esp in L.A., but I'd be willing to trek up to San Francisco), I'd be interested. Since I'm on my own dime, I doubt I could make it to a non-weekend event.
Olivier Thereaux yes May would be hard for me, lots of travel commitments already.
Jude Robinson no
David Andersson no
Sandy Smith no
Laurens Holst yes I think Paris would be a very suitable location. If I would have been in Europe, I would have attended XTech. However at this moment (until august) I live in Japan, so unless you are going to do this somewhere in south east Asia, I won’t be able to attend this meeting :).

One thing I’d like to stress though is that I think it would be good if half of the face-to-face meetings would take place in Europe.

Laurens Holst
Masataka Yakura no
Krijn Hoetmer no
Preston Bannister yes West coast - maybe. Travel is on my dime. Besides I rather hope a web-standards group can manage to perform on the web.
Eira Monstad no
Sierk Bornemann no Although I really would like to attend, I can't afford unless my travel/accommodation expenses were sponsored by another organisation, which seems unlikely. So, I favour participating to the HTML WG via IRC, via mailing list.
Daniel Lehtovirta yes Depends on if I can manage to get away for XTech
James Graham yes A meeting around Xtech may be convenient although, depending on numbers, I doubt the direct usefulness of such an event. I guess meeting people may have indirect benefits, however.
Niels Leenheer yes Depends if it is held during the XTech in Paris
Giovanni Gentili no
Gorm Haug Eriksen yes
Gareth Hay no My day job won't give me leave as I'll be just married.
Niko Neugebauer yes XTech in Paris would be an option.
Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo no I'm afraid that I won't be able to physically attend any such meeting (self-sustained and not able to travel at the moment)
Dean Edridge no Would like to attend, but I'm not able to sorry.
Julien Royer yes I would be interested by a meeting in Paris.
Sam Sneddon yes Paris in May, depending on the exact date, may be possible.
Matthew Freels no
Nicolas Le Gall yes It depends on :
- Where (I can Paris, but not the West coast).
- If my boss want me to leave for some days to Paris.
- I can assume the cost of the travel (probably).
Andrew Fedoniouk yes US West is preferable
Arthur Jennings yes I'll be in Paris the last two weeks of May. Outside of those dates, I wouldn't be able to attend there.

West coast would be easier.
Marvin Carlos no
Josh Fremer yes International travel (outside the US) isn't really viable for me.
Tommaso Donnarumma yes XTech in Paris may be an option
Roger Johansson yes It depends on how far I would have to travel and when the meeting would be. Scandinavia = very likely. Anywhere else = highly unlikely.
Yannick Croissant yes OK for Paris but not for the US West coast
Carol King no
satish sangaru no
Sander Tekelenburg no [1] I agree with Ian Hickson's objections and [2] a ftf meeting is way too costly for me both in terms of time and money, especially given [1] ;)
Isac Lagerblad yes it depends on the location.
John-Mark Bell no Paris is possibly do-able, although anything after the 17th is probably out due to other commitments. I'm more in favour of this option due to the location than the timing, however, as I share Ian Hickson's concerns.
Denis Boudreau no Not for now, because I am auto financing my participation to this WG and I just cannot afford it for now (my laptop needs to be changed!).
Brad Fults no
Jon Sykes no
Benoit Piette no
Theresa O'Connor yes US West coast, yes -- Europe, no (would need much more in the way of advance warning)
David McFarland yes if on the west coast
Craig Saila no
Cameron McCormack no I think it would be useful, but I will likely be unable to attend (unless it's in Melbourne :)).
Erik van Kempen yes Paris will be fine, but I won't be able to attend unless I find financial support.
Eric Bednarz yes Depends on:
- Location (Paris)
- amount of time the exact date is known in advance (min. 1 month)
Doug Jones no
Henri Sivonen yes Yes during XTech.

My airline tickets have already been bought. I'll be landing at CDG at 11:30 on May 15th (I'd reserve at least two hours to getting to a meeting in the city center). I'll be at the conference venue during the conference. Then I'll be staying in the suburbs but can take the RER back to Paris any day. I'll be flying away from Paris in the morning of the 22th.

Not in the US.
