Event Details
Calling Everyone Who Loves the Open Web to Drumbeat Toronto
Will the web still be open in 100 years? Mozilla thinks it can -- and must -- be. That's why we're starting Mozilla Drumbeat, an invitation to teachers, artists, lawyers, filmmakers and other everyday internet users do things that will make the web better, and keep it open for the long haul. We want you to get involved.
Online, Drumbeat is catalyzing new open web projects that address critical needs and make the Web healthier. Check out current projects or initiate your own at www.drumbeat.org/projects.
Offline and on, we are building a new community that includes open web geeks, but also teachers, artists and designers, bloggers, lawyers and even enlightened people in government.
Come to the Toronto event to learn about, work on, or even propose a new Drumbeat project.
Drumbeat Toronto events are:
- Active and participatory: we’re going to be making and building the Open Web. Less talk, more action!
- Inviting to people who love the Web, but may not be geeks. As part of Drumbeat, people can make more than software. Videos, universal subtitling, design projects, training courses, books, and more!
- Opportunities to weave together local networks of creative, Web-loving people and share their exciting local work with the global community.
Come prepared to share your vision for the future of the Web, the challenges you have with the Web in your work, ideas you have for new projects to address those challenges. Most importantly, come prepared to collaborate and build the Open Web!
