The idea behind OneWebDay is to encourage people to think of
themselves as responsible for the internet, and to take good and
visible actions on Sept. 22 that (1) celebrate the positive impact of
the internet on the world and (2) shed light on the problems of access
and information flow.
OneWebDay is a global, decentralized event. We're encouraging people
around the world to meet up on Sept. 22 to talk about the threats to
the net and how the web could change lives around the world in the
future.
Our Austin event features a day-long extended uber-Jelly
http://tinyurl.com/63fgz7), featured speakers and interviews about how
the Web has changed lives. In addition to our speakers (list
developing - there may be changes - stay tuned) we'll be asking random
attendees:
* how the web has changed your life
* how you'd like the web to change the world in the future
* your favorite online event ever
* something you've done online with other people in other countries
and posting our clips on YouTube, Blip.tv and dotSub.com as part of a
global video mashup.
