Quick Update: A Survey and Two Online Classes

Who is W3C to you?

As W3C nears its 20th anniversary in 2014, it is conducting a research project. You are invited to complete their first public survey about the W3C brand. Your responses will help guide where the organization directs its energies as it evolves the W3C brand. The survey, open through 5 May 2013, should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participants who complete the survey may enter to win an Apple iPad mini. This survey is confidential. W3C will receive only anonymized data. Please see the survey for the complete privacy policy.
