Le groupe de musique est en fait composé de membres de l'équipe du laboratoire situé en Suisse où de nombreux ingénieurs, parmi lesquels Tim Berners-Lee, considéré comme l'un des inventeurs du Web, planchent sur l'amélioration du système.

Comme le raconte dans le détail le site Motherboard, le 18 juillet 1992, Silvano de Gennaro assiste en backstage au Hardronic Music Festival, un évènement annuel organisé par les équipes du CERN.

We’ve got a plethora of books3 to choose from that cover HTML5 and its related technologies.

We’ve got shivs4, galleries5, and a physician6 to help heal your HTML5 maladies. And don’t forget the official spec7. From my own vantage point — aside from a few disputes8 about what the term “HTML5″ should and shouldn’t mean — the web design and development community has for the most part embraced all the new technologies and semantics with a positive attitude.
