The idea is very simple. Once a month people in Prague that care about the Web meet and socialise. The format is half an hour or an hour with a talk and discussion, the rest will be social activities which at least in my case is going to include beer drinking and incessant talking.

The Summer meeting will be at kafárna Na kus řeči, Bezručovy sady 1 Thursday August 7 at 18:00. This time there will be no program to disturb us from enjoying each other's company, but hopefully good weather and views on the Kafarna lawn.

Håkon gives an estimate

Håkon Wium Lie, Chief Technology Officer of Opera Software, will tell us how long the Web will last. The talk will be in English. Håkon may be best known for originally proposing Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and being an author of the Acid 2 and Acid 3 tests. He's also been active in a number of other topics like typography on the Web and handling video, and standards and technology feuds like ODF vs OOXML.

Interview: CSS was created to save HTML

As an extra hardware bonus an XO laptop (the One Laptop Per Child device) will be at attendance at the meeting.

The meeting will be held at the Seven Wolves, Vlkova 7, Žižkov, Monday May 12 from 18:00 on. The easiest way to get there is by tram 5, 9, or 26 at the Husinecká stop (one stop beyond the Main Railway Station). There is a slightly longer walk from the metro station Jiřího z Poděbrad (or the 11 tram).

český: Martin má taký informaci o schůzce

Rozhovor: CSS jsme vytvořili, aby zachránilo HTML
