W3C Open Source Program Community Group
In September 2026, W3C announced a first pilot project for a new Open Source Program.
The mission of the W3C Open Source Program Community Group is to manage the next phase of growth of a W3C Open Source Program. This Community Group will study what is needed to create a scalable W3C Open Source Program, focusing on program governance, operations, and liaisons, and developing a clear project lifecycle description.
The group has a goal for W3C to launch a full Open Source Program by mid-2028, after which the expectation is that this Community Group would be replaced by a governing body (and therefore archived).
This group will not publish Specifications.
