>> Here is an introduction to this year's event:
>>
>>     OneWebDay 2008 falls on a Monday this year. It's not too soon
>>     to start planning what you're going to do to recognize
>>     OneWebDay in September.
>>
>>     The idea behind OneWebDay is to recognize the threats to the
>>     Internet around the world - and to do something about them.
>>
>>     We want to make sure that people all across the globe expect
>>     that they will have access to the Internet that isn't
>>     controlled by gatekeepers of various kinds - network
>>     providers and many other actors - and we want people to help
>>     each other learn how to contribute to our Internet. The
>>     Internet is us, not some collection of machines.
>>
>>     This double goal (recognize threats, do something about them)
>>     can be met in all kinds of ways. The point is to have the
>>     recognition of OneWebDay be visible, online and off. Getting
>>     together in a public place to talk about the future of the
>>     Internet is one way. Getting together to increase
>>     connectivity in an underserved place is another. Helping
>>     older people get online and learn how to use online
>>     applications is yet a third way.
>>
>>     This is a very decentralized event. We have seen OneWebDay
>>     events take place in dozens of countries around the globe,
>>     and we're just beginning. You're in charge - OneWebDay is all
>>     yours.
