W3C opens office in Finland

The World Wide Web Consortium () opened an office in Finland, the consortium's second opening in Northern Europe and its 15th worldwide. The new office has its own Web site, which offers many W3C documents in Finnish. Located at the Digital Media Institute of the Tampere University of Technology in Tampere, the office is intended to serve as an outreach center for what the W3C called Finland's "established, thriving" information technology industry.
