MathML Conference 2020
Web Engines Hackfest 2020 Cancellation
Unfortunately, given the uncertainty surrounding coronavirus (COVID-19), we're sad to announce that we have to cancel the event in May.
We don't know yet if we're going to re-schedule the hackfest to fall, skip 2020 altogether, or find some creative solution. But we plan to make a public announcement about the final resolution regarding this year's hackfest as soon as we have a better understanding of the situation.
Sorry for the bad news.
The Web Engines Hackfest brings together people working on the different browsers and related standards. This year, the event will take place from May 18th to May 20th and be hosted in A Coruña, Spain. The first day will consist primarily of presentations and lightning talks while the rest of the event will have an unconference format.
Given the exciting progress happening within the MathML community (both development and standardization), Igalia wants to organize a MathML Conference in order to thank people for the work accomplished, review the progress, collaborate on current tasks and prepare future plans. This event will happen at the Web Engines Hackfest venue as a separate 2-days track (May 19 - May 20). People attending the MathML Conference are part of the Web Engines Hackfest event at large but will also have a dedicated room.
