[Chapter-delegates] press release: World Wide Web's 20th BirthdayHighlights Value Of Open Internet

[Narelle.Clark at csiro.au]

Congrats on the press release and activities, all. We should, as chapters, try to mark it in all our local events.

Anyone got any thoughts on how?

We will now make sure we mention this at the start of all our events (we've got a national broadband network event next week).

I had one of those too. And IP was preconfigured. After nifty application of a breakout box to a router port it just worked! And I was hooked (especially after another kind engineer explained what I'd done!)

Can we use this photo Olivier?

Merci beaucoup!

A bientot
