[Chapter-delegates] 30 years of WWW

[Veni Markovski]

Hi, everyone.
Greetings from ISOC - Bulgaria!
If you have not seen our own Frederic Donck moderating a great
discussion with Tim Berners-Lee and others, celebrating the 30th
birthday of the World Wide Web, take a look to find all the relevant
URLs at the WWW Foundation site
<https://webfoundation.org/2019/02/save-the-date-world-wide-web-turns-30-on-march-12/>
(or in the quoted text below). One of the events is already on YouTube
(the link below which says "will be live-streamed", the other is coming
shortly. There's a problem with the YouTube video I noticed -
synchronization between image and sound is missing, so if it annoys you,
just listen to the conversation.
Best,
Veni

We’ll be celebrating the web’s 30 birthday on Tuesday, March 12 and
you’re invited to join us!

When Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989, he changed
the world forever. To mark this milestone, Sir Tim will embark on a
30-hour journey, starting at CERN in Switzerland where he worked when he
invented the web and ending in Lagos, Nigeria.

The celebrations will kick-off at CERN <https://web30.web.cern.ch/> *in
Geneva* on the morning of March 12, where Sir Tim will join a great
line-up of speakers <https://web30.web.cern.ch/programme> to reflect on
the impact the web has had over the last 30 years. The event *will be
live-streamed <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Q66mxeYt8> from 8:00 am
CET*.

Later that day, in partnership with the Science Museum *in London*,
we’re hosting an evening of conversation with Sir Tim
<https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/webs-30th-birthday-sir-tim-berners-lee> who,
along with other leaders in science, technology and policy, will discuss
how the web has changed our lives and what we can do to protect it. *The
event will be live-streamed
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykCPFUlasFk> from 17:00 GMT.*

*In Lagos,* Sir Tim and Web Foundation co-founder Rosemary Leith will
visit the Women’s Technology Empowerment Centre
<https://wtec.org.ng/> (W.TEC) which works to nurture the next
generation of female technology creators, entrepreneurs and leaders.
They will also visit Co-Creation Hub <https://cchubnigeria.com/> (CcHub)
where technologists and social entrepreneurs work to solve social
challenges in Nigeria.

We’ll be inviting everyone to join in the celebrations by contributing
to a crowdsourced Twitter timeline
<https://webfoundation.org/2019/02/help-build-a-timeline-of-the-webs-history/> of
the web’s most important milestones. Tweet your own web moments at
#Web30 and #ForTheWeb.
