SVG is a widely-deployed royalty-free graphics format developed and maintained by the W3C SVG Working Group. This is a public group, which works on an open mailing list and which welcomes your feedback.
The 9th annual SVG Open conference will be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. This is an international conference dedicated to Scalable Vector Graphics, and it will take place October 17 to 20, 2011. This is a great place to learn about SVG, and to showcase your SVG talents, to meet the SVG Working Group and the implementers of SVG, and to talk with other designers and developers.
The CSS and SVG Working groups have started a joint task force to discuss and develop mutual features such as gradients, transforms, filters, and animation. The aim is to specify a coherent underlying model with alternative syntaxes and syntactic sugar, for ease of implementation and authoring. For more details, see the FX TF home page.
