Announcing OneWebDay 2007!

Here's the Official Announcement of OneWebDay2007, to be held September 22, 2007, from Susan Crawford and the rapidly growing OneWebDay band of volunteers:

We're passing along the word about OneWebDay, a global day to celebrate and protect the internet: Sept. 22. It's described as an Earth Day for the internet.

Here's a short video about OneWebDay. [very nicely done! -- David I]

OneWebDay is made up of local physical events (teaching sessions, discussions, speeches) and online collaborations (video describing how the web has changed lives around the world, photo collections celebrating the internet). People holding local physical events are encouraged to upload videos about their events to blip.tv or youtube, tagged "onewebday2007".

OneWebDay participants around the globe will be making their own short videos and posting them on blip.tv or youtube tagged "onewebday2007". Making these videos available via dotSUB.com, a free platform for creating subtitles, will mean that people using all languages will be able to understand everyone else. Suggested topics:
+ how the web has changed your life
+ how you'd like the web to change the world in the future
+ highlights of what you've seen online the day you make the video
+ your favorite online event ever
+ something you've done online to help people in other countries.

OneWebDay is Sept. 22, every year.
What will you be doing on OneWebDay?

Disclosure: I am an uncompensated volunteer Director on the OWD Board. I do it for fame. because it is the Right Thing To Do!

More details: OneWebDay has recently achieved non-profit (501c3) status; if you donate money, we promise to use it very productively!
