[chapter-delegates] Re: How about a World Internet Day?

[andreu at veabaro.info]

Sure,

I dont really know why the Spanish gov has decide October 25 to cellebrate this
year the "internet day".

I completely agree with you Ramon, that would be better to stablish a unique day
around the world, before each country decides a different day.

After reading your responses I also agree that 1-1-1983 would be a good date to
remember. But the problem is that is a very bad day to cellebrate anything due
everybody is on vacation... or cellebrating the New Year.

So let's think a little bit more about it.
