[Sig-bwp] OneWebDay Brainstorm 5/9, 7 p, John Harvard's

[Jessica Baumgart]

Hello,

I think some of you Internet fans might be interested in OneWebDay. A 
holiday honoring the Internet, it will be celebrated for the first 
time this September 22. On Tuesday, May 9, at 7 pm, a group is 
gathering at John Harvard's Brew House in Harvard Square, Cambridge, 
Massachusetts, to brainstorm about ways to celebrate. Details are 
below.

Cordially,

Jessica Baumgart

>  OneWebDay is one day a year when we all - everyone around the 
>physical globe - can celebrate the Web and what it means to us as 
>individuals, organizations, and communities. It's September 22 every 
>year, starting in 2006.
>
>  Groups and individuals all around the world are coming up with 
>their own ways of celebrating the Web on OneWebDay. We hope the 
>celebrations will affirm Web values in ways that actually advance 
>those values (connection, creativity, collaboration!). Maybe you'll 
>set up a real-world or online clinic to help newbies succeed on the 
>Web (or just learn how to edit a wiki). Maybe you'll collect and 
>post stories to document local history. Maybe you'll post a gallery 
>of online art ("see yourself as a pixel!"). Maybe you'll find and 
>share five new weblogs from around the world. Maybe you'll create a 
>big virtual beachball and bounce it from continent to continent. It 
>really is up to you. This is going to be a planning party that asks 
>the question: What are you going to do for OneWebDay?
>
>  We'll provide dinner & drinks, asking for a $10-15/person sliding 
>scale contribution to help cover costs.
>
>  Please note that this special evening event will take place in lieu 
>of Berkman's regular Tuesday luncheon series. To help us plan, 
>please let us know you'll be joining us. You can email 
>rsvp at cyber.law.harvard.edu, or just sign up on the wiki:
