<title>Test the Web Forward Seoul Recap</title>
<description><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96746315@N08/sets/72157643826942215/">Here are some photos</a>
taken by Jonathan Jeon from <a href="/events/2014/seoul.html">Test The Web Forward in Seoul</a>
last weekend.</p>
<p>We had a good turnout at the Ritz-Carlton hotel (lovely food!)
for talks and preparation on Friday evening, then a day of coding on
Saturday. It was the first TestTWF in Seoul so several people needed
help with the concept and setting up Git and the test repository.</p>
<p>We also had a video link with Tokyo (WebRTC, of course!) as they held
their third TestTWF which added to the fun. The Tokyo crew concentrated
on CSS text decoration, HTML ruby and shadow DOM.</p>
<p>AT&amp;T also joined in the video chat from the USA on Saturday morning.</p>
<p>In Seoul, the attendees were divided into three groups:</p>
<ul>
<li>Accessibility (Shadi was there for guidance)</li>
<li>CSS</li>
<li>HTML</li>
</ul>
<p>During the Saturday I saw people working on the following areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Browser Context</li>
<li>Custom Elements (Web Components)</li>
<li>HTML Import (Web Components)</li>
<li>Text Track</li>
<li>Web Crypto API</li>
</ul>
<p>Despite some initial confusion about W3C specs and what to work on,
there was a positive attitude and good cooperation between experts and
newbies among the tables. Sangwhan was particularly noticeable for his
technical help while wearing a teddy bear costume!</p>
<p>There&#39;s a core group of friendly, enthusiastic &quot;open webbers&quot; in Seoul
so I&#39;m hopeful this will not be the last TestTWF there.</p>

<title>Test the Web Forward - November/December Newsletter</title>
<description><p>As we wind down 2013, let&#39;s reflect on what a great year it&#39;s
been for Test the Web Forward. We&#39;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.</p>
<h3>Welcome New Subscribers</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Upcoming TestTWF Events</h3>
<h4>Test the Web Forward Seattle, January 26 8:30am-8:00pm PST</h4>
<p>Earlier this year in April, the IE Developer Relations team hosted
a great event at the Microsoft office in Seattle. The event was such
a success, we&#39;re going back to kick off TestTWF 2014, once again
graciously hosted by Microsoft. If you&#39;re in the Pacific Northwest,
don&#39;t miss this one! <a href="http://ttwf-seattle.eventbrite.com">Registration is now open</a>.</p>
<h3>Past TestTWF Events</h3>
<h4>Test the Web Forward Shenzhen @ TPAC, November 9</h4>
<p>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.</p>

<title>Test the Web Forward Shenzhen Recap</title>
<description><p>On November 9, 2013, the eighth major Test the Web Forward event was held in Shenzhen, China. The primary goals of this event was to raise awareness of the crucial need for tests, to educate newcomers on the test creation and submission processes, and to cultivate a community of Open Web Platform contributors beyond the day of the event.</p>
<p>With the recent announcement of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/blog/2013/10/welcoming-testtwf-to-w3c/">W3C adopting the Test the Web Forward brand</a>, for the first time this event was part of the W3C&#8217;s annual <a href="http://www.w3.org/2013/11/TPAC/">TPAC</a> conference at the Shenzhen Wuzhou Guest House. With TPAC attendees traveling from all over the world, this TestTWF event drew over 40 experts and spec editors covering many W3C specs and areas, including HTML5, CSS, WebDriver, and Web Accessibility. It was an event that brought together a large group of enthusiastic web developers and an extraordinary number of people with deep knowledge of the Web.</p>
<p>Another first for Test the Web Forward was that this was a single day event. In the past, the education and hacking were split across two days but this event reduced the hacking time and focused more on the goals of education and raising awareness.</p>
<p>Early Saturday morning, over 250 attendees filled Huaxia Hall for a day full of learning, socializing, and hacking.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/shenzhen/testtwf-shenzhen3.jpg" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<h3>Speakers</h3>
<p>Just as the event was full of an unprecedented number of experts, the lineup of speakers was equally impressive.</p>
<p><strong>The Keynote</strong><br />
We were honored to have <strong>Angel Li, Site Manager of W3C Beihang</strong>, take the time out of her busy TPAC schedule to join us and deliver the opening message to attendees. Angel gave an <a href="/assets/slides/TestTWFShenzhen-Keynote-AngelLi.pdf">inspiring talk</a> and emphasized the importance of interoperability on the Web and the vital need for tests during the W3C spec lifecycle.</p>
<p><strong>Educational Talks</strong></p>
<p>The first two talks were given by <strong>Belem Zhang of Intel</strong>. Belem attended the <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/events/2013/shanghai.html">Shanghai event</a> and exhibited such proficiency there, he was invited to Shenzhen to help educate more newcomers. Belem began with <a href="http://codedefect.com/ttwf-sz-belem/#/">How to Read W3C Specifications</a>, emphasizing that specs are not intended to be user manuals and are written in a way that test author can extract assertions that require supporting tests. He then moved on to the detailed instructions for <a href="http://codedefect.com/ttwf-sz-belem/#/5">Using testharness.js</a>, the W3C&#8217;s JavaScript testing framework. To test the audience&#8217;s knowledge gained from his presentation, he ended with a short quiz and quickly handed out a prize to the first correct response!</p>
<p>The next two talks were given by <strong>Zhiqiang Zhang, </strong>also of<strong> Intel</strong>. Zhiqiang is among just a small group of people who&#8217;ve attended four TestTWF events, including being a featured speaker at the past China events and attending the first TestTWF in San Francisco. Zhiqiang described <a href="http://zqzhang.github.io/reveal.js/reftest-and-review.html#/">How to Write W3C Reftests</a>, which is the type of test preferred by the W3C for testing how browsers visually render. These types of tests are particularly common and useful for testing CSS. Following a logical order, Zhiqiang then covered the very important topic of <a href="http://zqzhang.github.io/reveal.js/reftest-and-review.html#/3">How to Review W3C Tests</a> (or How to Write Tests That Pass Review). One of the more challenging problems facing the W3C now is having qualified reviewers to approve the growing number of incoming tests. Recognizing this need early on, Zhiqiang nominated this topic and delivered an excellent talk on the subject. Last, and most importantly, Zhiqiang covered <a href="http://zqzhang.github.io/reveal.js/reftest-and-review.html#/5">Where to Report Bugs</a> - pointing the bugbases for specs, tests, and for each of the major browsers.</p>
<p><strong>Lightning Talks</strong></p>
<p>After the presentations came a series of lightning talks, where spec editors and experts gave a quick overview of a number of specs that need tests. Each person made a pitch to the crowd to write tests for their spec:</p>
<p><strong>David Burns</strong>, <strong>Mozilla:</strong> WebDriver<br />
<strong>Leif Arne Storset</strong>, <strong>Opera: </strong>CSS User Interface<br />
<strong>Alan Stearns</strong>, <strong>Adobe: </strong>CSS Shapes<br />
<strong>Dirk Schulze</strong>, <strong>Adobe: </strong>CSS Masking<br />
<strong>David Baron</strong>, <strong>Mozilla: </strong>CSS Fonts<br />
<strong>Rik Cabanier</strong>,<strong> Adobe:</strong> Compositing &amp; Blending<br />
<strong>Mark Sadecki, W3C + Kenny Zhang</strong>, <strong>W3C:</strong> Web Accessibility<br />
<strong>Daniel Davis, W3C:</strong> HTML5<br />
<strong>James Graham</strong>, <strong>Mozilla: </strong>WPTServer (newly implemented test environment)</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/shenzhen/lightning.jpg" width="450" height="600" /></p>
<p>After the lightning talks, attendees were encouraged to meet and mingle with the experts. They had their questions answered and by lunchtime, everyone had signed up for a testing group.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/shenzhen/testtwf-shenzhen45.jpg" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<h3><strong>Hacking</strong></h3>
<p>After lunch, attendees had several hours to hack. People carefully followed the <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/docs/github-101.html">GitHub setup instructions</a>, got their test environments set up, and starting taking on test writing. The energy in the room was great and the experts and attendees were very engaged all day. As the pull requests began to come in, we started hearing the familiar TestTWF &#8220;gong&#8221; followed by ripples of applause as people got more excited with each new test submitted. Throughout the day, there were several raffles &#8211; from the random drawings emerged several lucky winners of prizes ranging from gift cards to iPad Minis to the Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection.</p>
<p><img src="/assets/blog/shenzhen/testtwf-shenzhen44.jpg" width="700" height="531" /></p>
<h3><strong>Closing Talk</strong></h3>
<p>Perhaps the biggest prize of all for attendees and experts alike was hearing the closing words from a very special speaker, <strong>Tim Berners-Lee, Director of the W3C and inventor of the World Wide Web</strong>. When he was introduced, the event emcee suggested that people close their laptops to give him their undivided attention, to which he replied, &#8220;Don&#8217;t close your laptops! Keep coding!&#8221; At that, the room erupted in laughter and applause. Tim thanked the crowd for showing up and making a difference. He encouraged everyone keep making a difference, to teach their friends and colleagues what they learned that day, and to host an event of their own.</p>
<p><img alt="Tim Berners-Lee" src="/assets/blog/shenzhen/testtwf-shenzhen41.jpg" width="600" height="444" /></p>
<h3><strong>After the Event</strong></h3>
<p>In the days following event, we saw good evidence of achieving success in perhaps the most important goal of this event: cultivating a community of Open Web contributors beyond just this one day. For the week following the event, we saw unprecedented followup activity in GitHub. Experts continued reviewing and new test authors continued their work in progress. We were delighted that after some new test authors had their tests reviewed and merged that they asked to be assigned more tests to write! While there is still much more to do, we are once again pleased at the tremendous turnout and enthusiasm from the Shenzhen web community during and after this event.</p>
<h3><strong>Favorite Quotes</strong></h3>
<p>&#8220;Why don&#8217;t you ask the HTML Editor? He&#8217;s sitting right there.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Doug Schepers, W3C Developer Relations</p>
<p>&#8220;Writing tests is a lot of fun. I want work on more challenging tests later on!&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Sherlock Zhong, Attendee</p>
<p>&#8220;It was so easy! I wrote my first test and found a bug!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211; Jonathan Dang, Attendee</p>
<p>&#8220;This was my first Test the Web Forward. I really learned a lot&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Mark Sadecki, Accessibility Expert</p>

<title>Test the Web Forward - October Newsletter</title>
<description><p>On this All Hallow&#39;s Eve, we&#39;re wearing our dinosaur costumes in
celebration of this day and of another great month-- and we&#39;ll be keeping them on until we get to China. October brought in many new members to to our community, hundreds of registrants for our next big event, a dazzling lineup of confirmed speakers (including Tim Berners-Lee!), and we officially became part of the W3C!</p>
<h3>Welcome New Subscribers</h3>
<p>Welcome to the many new subscribers we met at HTML5 DevConf in
San Francisco! We really enjoyed talking to so many passionate
web developers and telling you all about Test the Web Forward
and <a href="http://www.webplatform.org/">WebPlatform.org</a>. Although not surprising, we were happy to
see that the goals of both of these initiatives resonated deeply
with you.</p>
<h3>Upcoming TestTWF Events</h3>
<h4>Test the Web Forward @TPAC, Shenzhen, China: 11/9, 9AM-7PM CST</h4>
<p>We&#39;re less than two weeks away and registration for TestTWF Shenzhen
is now full! We&#39;re proud to have the W3C Beihang Site Manager, Angel
Li as our keynote speaker and very excited to have Tim Berners-Lee
add some parting words to wrap up the event. Additionally, we have
some excellent instructional talks lined up from Zhiaqiang Zhang and
Belem Zhang, both from Intel and both TestTWF alumni and experienced
W3C test writers.</p>

<p>Last month, we told you about the new and improved
<a href="http://testthewebforward.org">TestTheWebForward.org</a> website , which was part of transition.
Now, we&#39;re pleased to announce that Test the Web Forward is now
<a href="http://www.w3.org/blog/2013/10/welcoming-testtwf-to-w3c/">officially part of the W3C</a>. This a great development that simply
means that TestTWF now belongs to The Web, to the W3C members, and to
you. While we are actively working to build out this domain to
include more than documentation, the events will continue be driven
by the community. See below for how you can have one of your own.</p>
<h3>Get Involved</h3>
<h4>Contribute to TestTheWebForward.org</h4>
<p>With the relaunch of website, the W3C has provided a completely open
repository on GitHub to host its content. We invite all of you
to add your own, whether it be additional <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/docs/">documentation</a>, a <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/blog/">blog
post</a>, something on the <a href="https://github.com/w3c/testtwf-website/issues?page=1&amp;state=open">TODO list</a>, or just a bug fix -
we&#39;ll take your <a href="https://github.com/w3c/testtwf-website/blob/gh-pages/CONTRIBUTING.md">contribution</a>.</p>
<h4>Host your own Test the Web Forward event!</h4>
<p>As you start your planning for 2014, consider holding an event of
your own - an intimate meetup focused on a topic suited to your
local community or user group, or partner with others to put on a
hackathon to crank out more tests over some beer and pizza.
Start the conversation at public-testtwf-planning@w3.org. We
have kits to get you going and a growing network of TestTWF
experts around the world.</p>
<p>Let&#39;s keep Making the Web a Better Place!</p>

<title>Welcoming Test the Web Forward to W3C</title>
<description><p>Two years ago a group of Web developers led by Divya Manian and Paul Irish launched a small web project called <a href="http://movethewebforward.org">Move the Web Forward</a>. Its fresh look, cute dinos, and grass-root nature quickly caught the attention of Adobe who reached out to the original creators and obtained the permission to start as spinoff focused on testing. <a href="http://testthewebforward.org">Test the Web Forward</a> was born.</p>
<h2>A Thriving Community &amp; a Recognizable Brand</h2>
<p>Fast forward two years. Test the Web Forward is a recognizable brand among Web developers and thriving community bringing together Web developers and experts from all over the World to learn, share, write tests and improve browser interoperability.</p>
<p>Smart tag lines and cute logo aren&#39;t enough to build brands or communities, though. That takes hard work and dedication. Over the course of these two years, Adobe tirelessly fostered this community, organizing events, bringing in other key members of the industry to help along.</p>
<p>Adobe was so successful at driving this effort, that little after I joined W3C as a fellow from Facebook, I overheard Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Web and W3C&#39;s Director, refer to the W3C testing effort I was starting to pull together as &quot;Test the Web Forward.&quot; That was a strong enough incentive to approach Adobe to suggest using Test the Web Forward as the umbrella brand for the entire Open Web Platform testing effort. Adobe was delighted with the proposal and obliged.</p>
<p>Today, I&#39;m delighted to announce that we finalized the transaction and that Adobe officially gave the Test the Web Forward brand to W3C. In a sense that&#39;s a technicality, though. Test the Web Forward is essentially a community effort which W3C is proud to host.</p>
<h2>Scaling-up Events &amp; Revamping testthewebforward.org</h2>
<p>What will this change, you might ask. Well, for Test the Web Forward Events, not much in the short run. Adobe has done a tremendous job teaming up with the industry and the community to organize events so far and will continue doing so in the near future. Longer term, however, the plan is to make Test the Web Forward Events more scalable and self-sustainable. For, at the current rate, it would take over a decade to complete the HTML5 test suite. So, whether you&#39;re interested in hosting a local Test the Web Forward meet-up, sponsor or host one of the larger events, please <a href="mailto:public-testtwf-planning@w3.org">get in touch</a>.</p>
<p>The website has also been recently overhauled. It now includes a <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/blog/">blog</a>, and more importantly, the <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/docs/">canonical documentation</a> for W3C Open Web Platform testing effort. The website&#39;s <a href="https://github.com/w3c/testtwf-website/">full source code</a> is available on GitHub. <a href="https://github.com/w3c/testtwf-website/blob/gh-pages/CONTRIBUTING.md#grant-of-license">Contributing</a> couldn&#39;t be easier.</p>
<p>Finally, I&#39;d like to take this opportunity to thank all the people that have helped make this possible, and in particular Rebecca Hauck, Larry McLister and Israel Noto Garcia of the <a href="http://html.adobe.com/webplatform/">Adobe Web Platform Team</a>. I hope to see some of you at the upcoming <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/events/2013/shenzhen.html">Test The Web Forward Event in Shenzhen</a>.</p>

<title>Test the Web Forward - September Newsletter</title>
<description><p>The Fall Equinox is celebrated worldwide through various cultural
traditions, many of which center around harvest and growth. As we
pass through this season, we&#39;re celebrating the same in our Test
the Web Forward community. Both of the events this month are examples
of people outside of the core TestTWF team planting the seeds and
cultivating the growth of the movement in their local areas. Read
more about these events below.</p>
<h3>Welcome New Subscribers</h3>
<p>Welcome to our new subscribers from Sacramento! It was great
meeting you and answering your great questions about testing
browsers.</p>

<h3>Past TestTWF Events</h3>
<p><br/></p>
<h4>HTML5J Tokyo: Test the Web Forward Meetup</h4>
<p>Back in June, when we left Tokyo, there was <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/webplatform/2013/06/26/">excitement about more TestTWF events in Japan in the future</a>. Masataka Yakura took
the lead and on behalf of <a href="http://html5j.org/">HTML5J</a>, he&#39;s happy to report that that
the first TestTWF Meetup in Tokyo on September 14th went well. They had
about 20 attendees including a few returning folks from the first Tokyo
event. He expresses big thanks to them for helping newcomers writing
and submitting tests!</p>
<p>Check out these write-ups from a couple of attendees:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://html5experts.jp/myakura/2704/">HTML5 Experts.jp article</a> - JA</li>
<li><a href="http://d.hatena.ne.jp/hayashih/20130914/p1">hayashih&#39;s recap</a> - JA</li>
</ul>
<p><br/></p>
<h4>HTML5 Sacramento Meetup</h4>
<p>In the spring, we met Chris Minnick, who runs the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/HTML5-in-Sacramento/events/133819602/">Sacramento HTML5</a>
user group in Northern California. He reached out to us to bring TestTWF
to his community we were happy to oblige. On September 17, we gathered at
the super cool <a href="http://hackerlab.org/">HackerLab</a> space and educated people on ways they can
get involved in contributing to the Open Web by writing tests and by
writing documentation on <a href="http://www.webplatform.org/">WebPlatform.org</a>. It was a nice evening with
a very enagaged group who by the end of it were eager to get started
right away.</p>
<h3>New and Improved TestTheWebForward.org!</h3>
<p>We are excited and proud to announce the relaunch of
TestTheWebForward.org this month. This marks one of the key
deliverables of the <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/blog/2013/02/20/testing-the-open-web-platform.html">Open Web Platform Testing initiative</a> kicked
off earlier this year, led by Tobie Langel. Prior to this launch,
the website was just a place for information about events. Now, it
is so much more: It&#39;s W3C&#39;s one stop shop for Open Web Platform
testing. This includes a rich set of centralized <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/docs/">documentation</a> to get
you started, a <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/blog/">blog</a> to keep you informed of what&#39;s happening,
and vastly improved <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/events/">event pages</a> -- past, present, and future.
And this is only the beginning. Stay tuned for developments on what&#39;s
next and of course, how you can become a contributor!</p>
<h3>Get Involved</h3>
<p><br/></p>
<h4>Contribute</h4>
<p>The best thing about the new TestTheWebForward.org is that it belongs
to everyone and your contributions are warmly welcomed. Do you see
Something missing in the documentation? Have an idea for more useful
content? Would you like to write or cross-post a blog entry about your
Experience testing browsers? Please contribute! The site&#39;s content is
hosted in a public GitHub repo, so the contribution process couldn&#39;t
be easier - just send a pull request. See the <a href="https://github.com/w3c/testtwf-website/blob/gh-pages/CONTRIBUTING.md">contribution guidelines</a>
for more info.</p>

hackathon, or a larger event like we&#39;re planning for Shenzhen, let us
know at public-testtwf-planning@w3.org. We have kits to get you going.</p>
<h3>Quotes of the Month</h3>
<p>As we navigate millions of words on Twitter, Github, mailing lists,
and our inboxes, from time to time someone says something that captures
the spirit of the Test the Web Forward movement. Here are some we
came across in September:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-text" data-lang="text"> &quot;The good news is about one-third were also at the June TestTWF. Yes,
returning Forwardistas! It was really great to have them; they were kind
enough to help us and others writing tests, so people who were new to the
event were able to submit tests. What a beautiful community, isn&#39;t it?&quot;
</code></pre></div>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;-- Masataka Yakura, on the turnout at the Tokyo TestTWF Meetup</p>

<title>Test the Web Forward Shanghai!</title>
<description><p>We’re pleased to report that the seventh Test the Web Forward on August 17 &amp; 18 has wrapped up successfully. The Shanghai development community is very passionate about the Web as the event attracted nearly 350 web developers on the first day and 150 on the second day. By the end of the event, 1003 tests and 35 bugs were submitted, setting yet another Test the Web Forward world record!
</p>
<p>The event took place at Parkyard Hotel, funded by <a href="http://yun.baidu.com/">Baidu Cloud Group</a> and kicked off on Saturday afternoon. With a scheduled start time of 2:00pm, people began to arrive at 1:00 and formed a long queue to get registered. We set up a signature wall where people signed their names to make the commitment to making the Web better and of course, took photos. We also prepared lots of gifts for attendees, including Test the Web Forward T-shirts, HTML5 stickers, tags, W3C mugs and Baidu radiation-proof stickers. Developers loved these things.

</p>
<p>The event started with two special guests: Mr. Chen Shangyi, VP of Baidu and Mr. Hou Ziqiang, Member of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Dean of Institue of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. They delivered the message on the importance of Web Standards to China government and industry.</p>

<p>The next speaker was Paul Cotton, HTML5 Work Group Chairman. Paul gave an update on the latest progress of HTML, shared the roadmap and introduced the process of publishing a W3C spec. During the Q&amp;A session, Paul clarified the misunderstanding between W3C and WHATWG. Paul personally believes that the relationship between W3C and WHATWG is a partnership. Although they don&#8217;t have a release process, they have a mutual goal that Make a better Web.</p>
<p style="align: center;"><a href="/assets/blog/shanghai/Paul.jpg"><img class="img-responsive" alt="Paul" src="/assets/blog/shanghai/Paul-small.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>The lightning talks were next, where the experts introduced themselves, gave quick reviews of several specs, and recruited new test writers for their favourite specs. People joined six groups to write tests for HTML Drag and Drop, IndexedDB, File API, CSS Transforms, Grid Layout, Backgrounds and Borders. Jian Zhang from Adobe China wrapped up the day with sessions on How to Create W3C Tests.</p>

<p>The evening wrapped with a great buffet. Developers enjoyed the yummy food and nice environment. Everyone was ready for hacking the next day!</p>
<p style="align: center;"><a href="/assets/blog/shanghai/dinner.jpg"><img class="img-responsive" alt="dinner" src="/assets/blog/shanghai/dinner-small.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>On Sunday, the test hacking began. Zhiqiang Zhang from Intel China and gave an informative talk on How to Write Good Tests and How to File Good Bugs.</p>

<p>As is customary, we used a Chinese tanggu drum to signal when tests were completed and to get people motivated to submit more tests. The drumbeats began pretty quickly when a young developer had the first test of the event approved.</p>
<p style="align: center;"><a href="/assets/blog/shanghai/1tests.jpg"><img class="img-responsive" alt="first test" src="/assets/blog/shanghai/1tests-small.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>During the whole event, we saw everyone concentrated and fully involved. Experts were extremely busy assisting developers and reviewing their tests.</p>

<p>Although contributing to make the web better was rewarding in itself, the awards and raffle prizes made it even more fun. Prizes included US$1000 cash for the outstanding individual contributor, an iPad Mini, and several Kindles.</p>

<p>All in all, the event resulted in the creation of 1003 tests! And with those tests, 36 new bugs were found and submitted across multiple browsers.</p>

<p><strong>Special Thanks</strong><br />
We have to say Thank You Baidu for successfully hosting the event at Shanghai and to Intel for super technical support! We were excited to see that people made new friends, improved their knowledge of web standards testing, and we continued moving the Web forward a little bit more.</p>

<title>Test the Web Forward Tokyo!</title>
<description><p>
On the first anniversary of Test the Web Forward, we were thrilled that our <a href="http://testthewebforward.org/events/tokyo-2013.html" target="top">Tokyo event</a> on June 7 &amp; 8 was a tremendous success. This is further proof that the movement has caught on globally. Early on, we were amazed by the fact that registration filled up in just 12 hours and hoped that would be a good indicator of a fantastic event. It certainly was!
</p>
<p>
Our event was one of over 30 others held that weekend for <a href="http://www.htmlday.jp/" target="top">&lt;htmlday&gt;</a> in Japan and was also aligned nicely with a a lot of other things: the SVG and CSS Working Groups F2F meetings, the W3C AC Rep meetings, and a W3C Developer Meetup immediately following TestTWF in the same building. Many web developers and enthusiasts came together to learn, teach, demo, network, and have their voices on the Web heard. For two days, we all gathered in Google Japan's spectacular office on the 27th floor of the Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills.
</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><b>Friday, June 7 – Day 1</b></h4>
<p class=pull-left>
<img class="img-responsive" alt="Shigeo Okamoto, Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications" src="/assets/blog/tokyo/ttwf-tokyo1-1024x753.jpg" />
</p>
<p>
Things kicked off on Friday night with a special guest and keynote speaker, Shigeo Okamoto from the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. Mr. Okamoto spoke to a packed room of 100 people, delivering a message on the importance of Web Standards to the Japanese government.
</p>
<p style="clear: both;">
Following Mr. Okamoto was Kazuaki Takemura, a very active test writer for CSS Text and Writing Modes to deliver the traditional TestTWF talk on How to Read W3C Specifications. Then came <a href="https://twitter.com/boblet" target="_blank">Oli Studholme</a> to talk about a new topic that arose from the Q &amp; A session at <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/webplatform/2013/04/25/test-the-web-forward-seattle-recap/" target="_blank">TestTWF Seattle</a>. Someone there asked a simple question, "After I write and submit tests, then what happens?" Oli stepped up and gave an excellent talk on <a href="http://oli.github.io/test-twf" target="top">Specifications and Test Lifecycles</a>.
