Introduction

Roundtable XXIX took place on February 5-7, 2014, hosted by Mozilla in San Francisco, California. The Roundtable was attended by 31 people from 20 members and one first-time nonmember observer. The CalConnect Interoperability Test Event was held immediately prior to the Roundtable on February 3-5, and had 21 participants onsite from 11 members, plus two members testing remotely. In total, 36 people attended some portion of the week, including two from Hong Kong, one each from the Czech Republic, England, France, India, New Zealand and Switzerland, and the remainder from North America.

The Roundtable consisted primarily of technical committee sessions, workshops and BOFs. In addition new member presentations were offered during the Opening Session, as was a special session dedicated to reviewing the ongoing work on restructuring the Steering Committee. The sessions were as usual organized sequentially without competing parallel sessions, as is our standard practice, to allow all attendees who wished to be involved in the discussions of each Technical Committee the opportunity to do so. The Roundtable finished with the CalConnect Plenary Session on Friday afternoon.
