OpenWebDay Focuses on Online Participation in Democracy

From the OneWebDay website:
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.
The idea behind OneWebDay is to:
- focus attention on a key internet value (this year, online participation in democracy)
- focus attention on local internet concerns (connectivity, censorship, individual skills)
- create a global constituency that cares about protecting and defending the internet
We’re building towards September 22, a Monday this year.
Curious to see what activities around online participation in democracy will be offered.
