What will happen in your session?

From previsionary ideas like the Memex and bidirectional hyperlinks, to current browser/editor experiments and read/write web protocols, we will explore old and new visions of a web of knowledge in which the readers are also the creators and connectors of the web.

While discussing these topics, we will put the ideas into practice and start linking up and annotating related documents on the web, to collectively contribute our knowledge to the web (using a read/write browser (extension) such as WebMemex, Beaker browser, Dokieli or Hypothes.is).

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

People should leave with a broader view of the history of the web and a glimpse of its possible future, and current possibilities to add links and pages to the web from within their browsers. Also, we will have made a small contribution to the knowledge on the web, about the web.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

Time needed

60 mins

Hi @Treora

As MozFest is approaching we require the following information from your end to better support your session in the Decentralization learning forum space. You can get back to us by replying to this issue or emailing us directly, whichever communication channel is convenient to you.

  1. Please confirm that you will be able to attend Mozfest 17
  2. Provide us a brief outline of your session topics and time estimates
  3. Does your session require any additional materials or electronic equipment other than a projector and general office stationery?
  4. Please let us know if you want to make any modification to your session proposal

Thank you! Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.

I surely intend to be there. The session topics are described in the session proposal; I hope that it gives enough information as I have not yet decided on the exact content I would like to cover, and it also depends on what the audience wants to bring in. With regards to time, I suggested to take 60 minutes, but could make it fit to any available slot.

It would be nice to know what size of room and audience you expect me to prepare for. If there is choice I would prefer a setup that makes many-to-many communication easy, rather than centralising the attention towards a single speaker.

Hi @Treora. Room size will be roughly between 20-50 people. Exact estimates are unsure till we are in the space. Many to many discussions are much better and you can move the chairs around as much as you like. Make the space yours for the hour session
