April 24th in Toronto: Mozilla needs your help to keep the Internet open, participatory, and public

[Phillip Smith]

Hey all,

Hoping some of the Civic Access community might be able to make it to  
the Mozilla Drumbeat event in Toronto on April 24th. Details are  
below. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for  
participants that I should reach out to.

Many thanks in advance,

Phillip.

MOZILLA NEEDS YOUR HELP TO KEEP THE INTERNET OPEN, PARTICIPATORY, AND  
PUBLIC

Will the web still be open in 100 years? Mozilla thinks it can -- and  
must -- be. That's why we're inviting teachers, artists, lawyers,  
filmmakers and other everyday internet users to come together in  
Toronto on April 24th. We need YOUR help to make the Web better, and  
keep it open to everyone for the long haul.

GET INVOLVED IN DRUMBEAT

Mozilla Drumbeat is catalyzing new open Web projects that address  
critical needs and make the Web healthier. When you participate in a  
Drumbeat event -- like the one in Toronto on Saturday, April 24th --  
you can learn about what keeps the Web open, work with others on one  
of the exciting projects that have already been started[1], or even  
propose a new Drumbeat project.

In Toronto, we will be building a new community that includes open Web  
geeks, but also teachers, artists and designers, bloggers, lawyers and  
even enlightened people in government -- and we want YOU to be there.

LESS TALK, MORE ACTION

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 in real time and face-to-face.

Why Drumbeat?
Mozilla has a clear mission: to guard the open nature of the Internet.  
The software created by Mozilla's developer community takes us a long  
way towards this mission -- promoting openness, innovation and online  
participation at a massive scale. We believe everyday internet users  
also have a role to play in keeping the web open, especially over the  
long haul. This is what Drumbeat is about.
