Test the Web Forward - November/December Newsletter
As we wind down 2013, let's reflect on what a great year it's
been for Test the Web Forward. We've held five major events
around the world where attendees contributed thousands of new
testt, added over 1000 new subscribers to our
mailing list, built up a rich set of centralized W3C test documentation, relaunched testthewebforward.org as the
one-stop-shop for Open Web Platform testing, and officially became
part of the W3C. A hearty thanks and congratulations to all of YOU
contributed, attended, participated, and supported our movement. We
have a truly awesome community.
Welcome New Subscribers
Welcome to our new subscribers who attended our Shenzhen event in
November. We had a great time with you all and were once again
deeply impressed by the level of enthusiasm we saw in the Chinese
Web development community.

Past TestTWF Events
Test the Web Forward Shenzhen @ TPAC, November 9
In November, we returned to China for a third time and met hundreds
more passionate Web developers. Experts came from all over the
world to work with the local community and we had a dazzling lineup
of speakers, including Tim Berners-Lee! It was a full day of
learning, hacking, food, drinks and prizes.
