World Wide Web Consortium(@w3c@w3c.social)の投稿 The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was established in 1994 by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, to develop interoperable standards to lead the Web to its full potential.
We are an international multi-stakeholder community where member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to build a Web based on the principles of accessibility, internationalization, privacy and security.
Please be more curious than critical. Your interactions go to real people who care and do their best 🙏
On 30 April 1993, at Tim Berners-Lee's urging, CERN released the code for the World Wide Web to the public for free.
Thank you CERN and thank you Tim!

On 30 April 1993, CERN's Directors declared that the three components of Web software (the basic line-mode client, the basic server and the library of common code) that Tim Berners-Lee @timbl had first proposed in 1989, were to be put in the Public Domain.
We are grateful to CERN and to Tim for this world changing decision which has enabled the W3C community to create open, accessible, international web standards which make the web work, for everyone.
