Lighting Talk: HTML5 in Korea in Firefox Developer Conference in Japan
Hello, this is Channy Yun in Mozilla Korea Community.
I'm very glad to here with many Japanese developers loving Mozilla's open technology.
In this talk, I want to introduce HTML5 activities in Korea.
====
My hometown is the beautiful Jeju Island in Korea as like Okinawa in Japan. My first job was web developer in 15 years ago and now I'm working for Daum, the 2nd largest Korean internet company as a technical evangelist of Open APIs for supporting third-party web developers.
====
My part-time job has been blogger, especially web technologies and trends, Mozilla Korean localizer and community leader, Web standards evangelist and interested in Web 2.0 platform for 3rd party.
====
So I want to be a friend of web developer in Korea
===
But, many web developers confused for emerging HTML5 technologies especially flash developers. So I want to talk about why HTML5 is important for web developers in first.
===
As you know, HTML finished in 1998 and there is the gap of 10 years. In browser war, web developers were suffered with non-standard technology. A small girl was "YOU", right web developers. But, there was new trend of Web 2.0 buzz, web as a software platform and Ajax, web as an application platform.
===
In that time, minor browser vendors initialized open based Web Hypertext Technology working group to make new standards with volunteers in web developers to support both web document and web application.
===
Actually in final chapter of W3C HTML5 specs, there is "Acknowledgement" section. As you see, there are many names over 600 web developers. My name is also here. But, my contribution was very small just to change one example code in spec. It means HTML5 major specification was made by web developers like you from 2005 to 2006.
===
Please keep in your mind that HTML5 was made for peace of mind to web developers.
===
In Korea, Internet Explorer is still dominant browser and Firefox and Safari has been increased by choice of power users.
===
Especially there were very big changes in mobile web. In one year ago, iPhone was released and many Android phones are followed.
===
Because of HTML5 advocating by Google and Apple
===
Many Korean web developers are also confused.
===
Korean web standards community prepared open conference on July and sold out 700 seats within 12 hours.
===
Also we made 300 pages free HTML5 guidebook. And we gave the printed-book to them and share five lecture videos with creative commons license.
===
There are many HTML5 books and more things are prepared.
===
Especially two books are written by Japanese writers.
===
They gave a lecture in CSSNiTE Seoul events. It's very good changes for communication between Korean and Japanese web developers.
===
Korea has several web standards communities
===
But, new HTML5 communities are made too. In November, W3C's HTML Korea Interest Group is started as like Japan. It shows HTML5 is very active in Korea right now.
===
Also Mozilla Korea community made Mozilla Hack Korean version in early this year. Over eight volunteers have translated blog articles.
===
I think HTML5 is good opportunity for web developers. If you spreads the word,
====
It can be realized!
====
Thank you for listening!
