Calling Everyone Who Loves the Open Web to Drumbeat CITYNAME, DATE
Will the web still be open in 100 years? Mozilla thinks it can -- and must -- be. That's why we're starting Mozilla Drumbeat, an invitation to teachers, artists, lawyers, filmmakers and other everyday internet users do things that will make the web better, and keep it open for the long haul. We want you to get involved.
Online, Drumbeat is catalyzing new open web projects that address critical needs and make the Web healthier. Check out current projects or initiate your own at www.drumbeat.org/projects.
Offline and on, we are building a new community that includes open web geeks, but also teachers, artists and designers, bloggers, lawyers and even enlightened people in government.
Come find come learn about, work on or even propose a new Drumbeat project at LOGISTICS. SIGN UP HERE [LINK]
Drumbeat CITYNAME events are:
- - Active and participatory: we’re going to be making and building the Open Web. Less talk, more action!
- - Inviting to people who love the Web, but may not be geeks. As part of Drumbeat, people can make more than software. Videos, universal subtitling, design projects, training courses, books, and more!
- - Opportunities to weave together local networks of creative, Web-loving people and share their exciting local work with the global community.
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!

Online, that means catalyzing new open web projects that address critical needs and make the Web healthier.
Offline and on, we need to build a new community that includes open web geeks, but also teachers, artists and designers, bloggers, lawyers and even enlightened people in government. We can only do that from the local level up, through face-to-face interactions.
We are calling for local leaders, people with a strong commitment to Mozilla’s vision of the Open Web to take a lead in reaching out to diverse communities in their own cities and towns. If that sounds like you, get ready to pull together a local Drumbeat event!
Local Drumbeat events are:
- - Active and participatory: we’re going to be making and building the Open Web. Less talk, more action!
- - Inviting to people who love the Web, but may not be geeks. As part of Drumbeat, people can make more than software. Videos, universal subtitling, design projects, training courses, books, and more!
- - Opportunities to weave together local networks of creative, Web-loving people and share their exciting local work with the global community.
The Mozilla events team will be supporting local event leaders through a smart kit of materials and action templates, as well as training opportunities and one-on-one support.
Over the next month, we are hosting a special program for the first wave of Drumbeat event organizers in Europe and North America. We are offering a two-day experience. On the first day, we are planning facilitator training and support in designing events that are relevant to local communities. On day two, you’ll put these skills to work immediately at a local event in CITYNAME.
We are offering travel scholarships, so SIGN UP HERE for a chance to be selected!
