This week another CSS Working Group virtual meeting takes place. I am very much missing our real face to face meetings, the virtual ones with everyone spread across timezones just aren't the same. It is what it is for now. I think that in the future there will be travel I don't do, there are things that the last few months have shown work just as well virtually. The side discussions and focus of bringing people together however is really hard to replicate in a virtual way.
On to this weeks collection of interesting articles, tutorials and links. I hope your week is going well,
