In this talk, Jean-François Abramatic, former W3C Chairman who established W3C Europe 30 years ago, reflects on the origins of the #web. He honors pioneers like Vannevar Bush, Doug Engelbart, Ted Nelson, Vint Cerf, and Charles Goldfarb, and shares his role in the creation and growth of @w3c—emphasizing key figures, early challenges, and the value of collaboration and humility. #W3C30

Based on the @w3c workshop "Secure the Web Forward” and thanks to work taking place in the W3C Security Web Application Guidelines (SWAG) #CommunityGroup, we are happy to release 6 videos that address the complexities of Content Security Policy and Trusted Types, by introducing open-source tooling that reduce uncertainty and complexity of configuring web #security mitigations against XSS.
