Building the Open Web — Jesse Dylan and Elizabeth Stark today

August 5th, 2009

Jesse and Elizabeth will be at Mozilla today to talk about building the open web. This talk will be streamed over the web at air.mozilla.com. I hope to archive this as well, especially given the short notice.

Jesse and Elizabeth are planning on talking about “the ideas of social movements and engagement as they apply to the Internet . . . draw[ing] upon successful examples to discuss the factors involved in engaging large amounts of people to support an issue. We will discuss what is needed to communicate complex ideas in a more accessible fashion, and examine ways to inspire people to think more about these ideas, and to get them to actually do something about it.”

Jesse Dylan is a filmmaker and idea generator. He has worked with organizations such as RED, Bono’s one campaign, the Clinton Global initiative, and TED. He is the founder of Lybba, a medical non-profit seeking to provide medical information openly and accessibly on the web. Jesse created the “Yes We Can” video in support of the Obama campaign, which garnered over 100 million views.

Elizabeth Stark is a free culture advocate. She teaches at Yale University, founded the Harvard Free Culture group, and most recently produced the inaugural Open Video Conference in NYC. She has worked for years engaging a variety of communities and organizations around the ideas free knowledge and cultural participation.

    Hi Mitchell, it is great to see that you brought in Jesse Dylan and Elizabeth Stark – they are definitely touching on some of the themes I’ve been blogging about re: the Open Web as a Social Movement and also here. Did the presentation get archived? It would be great to watch.

    Hello Mitchell,

    Jan Claeys from Ubuntu Women pointed me in your direction because I am also an aerial acrobat on trapeze, silks and ropes, in a Contemporary Circus troupe called Mists of Time. I am also a developer working on some projects for Ubuntu, and a semi-pro indie film maker.

    I am sorry to have missed your live video on building the Open Web. I tried to find it on air.mozilla.com but it told me my browser was old and broken 🙁

    I am particularly interested in the Open Web because for a few years now, I and some friends have been trying to get some networking sites up and running for our community arts interests and organisations.

    To get an idea of some of my interests please take a look at my blog on “Ubuntu And The Art Of An Aerial Acrobat” at http://helen-mccall.blogspot.com/

    Best wishes, Helen McCall
