Last Call: Timing control for script-based animations
The Web Performance Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of Timing control for script-based animations. This document defines an API web page authors can use to write script-based animations where the user agent is in control of limiting the update rate of the animation. The user agent is in a better position to determine the ideal animation rate based on whether the page is currently in a foreground or background tab, what the current load on the CPU is, and so on. Using this API should therefore result in more appropriate utilization of the CPU by the browser. Comments are welcome through 20 March. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Vote for the Next DrupalCon Europe 2013 Host City
Which city would you like to see host the 2013 European DrupalCon? The Drupal Association worked with a European Selection Committee led by Advisory Board Member, Kristof Van Tomme. They selected ten potential locales for the European DrupalCon in 2013 based on a set of predetermined criteria. And now it’s your turn to vote!   Please take this short survey so we can gauge interest from the Drupal community on the initially selected locations. We traditionally hold our European DrupalCons in late summer, around August. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, and community members are welcome to suggest alternative options -- it’s okay to write in your city of choice. We are open to any ideas you may have. read more
