Open community meeting in support of web standards on December 8 in Moscow

Considering the fact that in the outgoing year in Russia there was not a single profile conference on web technologies of the client’s side (meaning, of course, not separate initiatives of various companies, aimed mainly at promoting the products of these companies), a modest event called WHT Party has the potential to become the main industry event of the year. :-) Well, after Web Standards Days in Minsk, of course. However, Minsk is not Russia ...



What is the WHT Party? This is a joint event that combines two parts. The first, “serious” part is the open meeting of the Web Standards developer community (TSA; earlier this community was better known as the Russian wing of the WSG ). The second part, “dessert”, is the solemn ceremony of awarding the winners of the WebHiTech contest.



The TSA meeting is held in the format of a mini-conference and is called open in the sense that everyone can take part in it. To do this, just leave an application for participation . Unfortunately, the number of places is limited: we are ready to invite 200-220 first authors of applications to the TSA meeting. Of course, as soon as the “critical level” is reached, we will close the registration. However, not the fact that this will happen too soon. :-)

But somewhere in the middle we will surely make a coffee break. :-)
