Ecma Beyond ECMAScript—Highlights from some of the other 55 Technical Committees (take two) #82
Description
Session description
Ecma is a standards body responsible for far more than specifying JavaScript™. There are currently 17⅔ active technical committees†, and historically 56 total. Some of these technical committees focus on hardware, acoustics, the environment, and even consumer safety. Closer to W3C home, work areas include programming languages (Dart, C#, Eiffel) and a variety of software-related topics ranging from supply chain security to Office Open XML formats. In this breakout session, we’ll explore these together and dive a little deeper on whichever the attendees find most interesting.
I proposed this breakout session last year but wasn't able to gather the information I wanted to provide. This year I'll be able to show up with a deeper knowledge of history and, after an introduction, prompt participants for which topics they wish to further discuss.
† The ⅔ will absolutely make sense
