I didn't expect to see so many known faces from the @w3c@w3c.social community at #fosdem. We had lots of great conversations about #webviews, #webstandards and @servo@floss.social as well. I'm leaving with a long list of TODOs and follow-ups.

Flights booked to 🇪🇸 . I'm excited to go to @webhackfest@floss.social for the first time.
Is anyone there interested in sessions on #WebViews and embedding @servo@floss.social mobile apps? Let me know!
On my way to FOSDEM. Is anyone I know also in Brussel this weekend?
RE: @openwebdocs@front-end.social
Thank you for the shout out! Looking forward to more collaboration.
Thanks to NGI Mobifree fund by @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl I got funding to improve caniwebview.com and your data and tools are invaluable for #webviews. This is your well-deserved piece of the pie.
Looking forward to attend for the first time.
It's really hard to find out what's supported on the web. You might not be aware of the many tools and resources that work together to describe the state of the web. That's why I built https://webcompat.dev. Please share and contribute.

The breakout sessions seem to be hybrid so it would be great to see you remotely. It's my first time at this event as well.
@alastair@mastodon.online I'm also very interested in iOS as Cordova is big on iOS as well. But looks like Servo has not built the support, yet.
@alastair@mastodon.online Very interesting. I will have a look!
It's funny that I see your post right at the same time I'm writing this breakout session proposal where I wanted to discuss this: https://github.com/Igalia/webengineshackfest/issues/73
I might be naive but we could use another #WebView

The talk "Effective Standard-setting" by @tobie@mastodon.social was a personal highlight right at the end of #fosdem. As someone pretty new to web standards I really need all perspectives I can get. #standards #cra.
Last day of the year. Good day to finally write the 2025 recap for WebView CG right? https://caniwebview.com/news/2025-12-31-WebView-Community-Group-Recap/

@sovtechfund@mastodon.social I have some ideas and plans but they are not ready, yet. I hope there will be another program like this in the future.

It's so good to see that accessibility projects like ACD and at-driver are picked in the first funding round for standards. Assistive technology is really not that well standardised and documented as you might think.
