One Web Day

"The suggested theme for this year's events is to emphasize three important aspects of the Internet's existence that ensure it's continuing health and growth as a public resource:

1) The End-to-End Principle - the principle that allows any application on any user's machine to directly connect and interact with any application on any other user's machine, without hindrance.

2) Open Internetworking - Openness is the overarching principle that has ensured the success and growth of the Internet to date. User access, choice and transparency are critical to the success of the Internet and must be incorporated as central features of current and future policy frameworks for the Internet.

3) the Internet model -The Internet is successful in large part due to its unique model: shared global ownership, development based on open standards, and freely accessible processes for technology and policy development. The
Internet model is open, transparent, and collaborative. The model relies on processes and products that are local, bottom-up, and accessible to users around the world."

One way to take part in OWD is to create a video and share it on YouTube, blip or dotSUB. In your video you can explain how the web has changed your life over the past 10 years or talk about your involvement with the web.
If you add a vid to YouTube let me know and I can put in on this lens.

If you upload a video (or photo on Flickr) make sure to tag it with "onewebday2010".
