The first Singapore Web Standards Group meetup friggin’ rocked. I did my little bitty song and dance about what web standards were and why we all need them. Coleman gave a presentation on web accessibility and Nick Pan rounded off with the use of list item menus for U21 Global. Thanks for the great presentations, guys!
Special thanks to Raffles Girls’ School for use of the facilities as well as the drinks and cake.
It was exhilarating having so much talent and ideas in one room. If you weren’t here this time, don’t miss our next meetup.
Stay tuned. Join our meetup mailing list.

Thanks for organising this. Oh, you might want to say it’s “Ivan L” as opposed to “Ivan C” (me) ‘cos there were two Ivans at the meet-up :)

Sorry I couldn’t make it… Would have loved to see Coleman’s accessibility video from what I read of it from Vanessa’s account.
Anyone took any videos? Screencasts?
