[governance] Web We Want festival

[Nnenna Nwakanma]

*Dear all, Apologies for crossposting WEB WE WANT FESTIVAL 25 years ago,
Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web and gave it to the world.
To mark the anniversary - this turning point for humanity - we are creating
Web We Want - a major new three-part festival at Southbank Centre - which
will be designed by YOU. WE NEED YOU Inspired by the World Wide Web
Foundation <http://webfoundation.org/> and working in partnership with the
Foundation’s ‘Web We Want <https://webwewant.org/>’ global campaign for a
free, open and universal Web, the festival will be an extensive celebration
of how the Web has changed our lives. It will also explore some of the
things that threaten the web as we know it and what solutions there might
be. Mirroring Tim Berners-Lee’s vision for the web as a place for equality,
we’re asking you - local and distant community groups, neighbours and
strangers, techies and technophobes, old and young, urban and rural, with
any level of web-literacy - to create the content. To do this, we are
asking everybody to answer these five questions: 1. What Web projects have
you encountered that leap borders or conventional approaches to change
people's lives? #LeapBorders 2.     What do you think are the best examples
of creativity and artistic imagination on the Web? #creativity 3.     What
examples of personal, corporate or government online action threatens the
future of a free, open and universal Web? #OpenWeb 4.     What aspects of
the Web give you the greatest joy and the greatest worry? #joy  #worry 5.
    What ideas, projects or schemes would you suggest we present at the
festival to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Web? #ideas You can
answer these on social media or write to us at Web We Want Festival,
Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London, SE1 8XX. The deadline for ideas
for the September weekend is 29 August 2014, but keep ideas coming until
May 2015. Twitter - https://twitter.com/webwewantfest
