What kind of impact would a more direct connection to developers give us? As stewards of the JavaScript specification, how do we answer questions about the design of JavaScript and help make it accessible to the thousands of new coders who join the industry each year? Yulia Startsev, part of Mozilla’s representation to TC39, is looking for feedback from developers everywhere to see how we might glean useful insights about the evolution of JavaScript from their feedback.

* '''Augmented World Expo'''-- AWE (Augmented World Expo) is the world’s most essential AR+VR conference and expo, with annual dates in the USA, Asia, Israel and Europe, as well as meetup chapters around the world. The tenth anniversary AWE event took place last week in Santa Clara, CA and featured our own Sean White and Tony Parisi [https://twitter.com/tomemrich/status/1134141030079459328 on stage] together talking about the [https://www.awexr.com/usa-2019/agenda/444-roadmap-from-the-web-to-navigate-the-ar-world past, present and future] of the 3D web.
