As of September 2, Panel Picker voting is closed. You can, however, still leave comments on the proposals you find interesting. We will announce the first set of accepted panels on Thursday, October 2. Stay tuned to the SXSW Interactive Festival website for these announcements, or e-mail us if you have questions.
This session will discuss the role of elitism in the web standards movement. People contribute to the movement in order to become part of an elite. If this becomes impossible, either by the actions of a closed in-crowd elite, or by a misguided anti-elitism stance, the standards movement will become poorer.
