I’ve joined the CSS Working Group as a W3C Invited Expert to help to
develop the next level of Cascading & Inheritance, in addition to other
CSS standards. I’m also currently active in the CSS4 and Design
Token Community Groups.
I was invited to join after the CSSWG approved work on my proposal for
extending the CSS Cascade & Inheritance module, so that authors can
define custom CSS origins. Jen Simmons presented the proposal at a
CSSWG “face-to-face” meeting, along with supporting slides. I’ll write
an article with details about the proposal soon.

In the meantime, it’s an honor to join the W3C, and help define the
future of a language I love. I have a lot to learn about the process,
but I’m excited to start contributing!
