What doesinternet mean to you?

Drumbeat is about keeping the webopen

remixable
decentralized
transparent
participatory

The Open Web is
evolving and improving as we each can remix existing parts of the Internet into something that is our own
decentralized in both architecture and control, ensuring continued choice and diversity
built on transparent technologies that anyone can study, use or improve
fueled by participation, in ideas, energy or media from more than a billion Internet users

The Internet is increasingly becoming our global commons: a critical public resource over a billion people use every day to learn, innovate, trade, befriend and play.
By explaining, protecting and building things around the characteristics of the open Web, Drumbeat can create a better Internet, an Internet that is even richer and more resilient.

The Internet is a global public resource that
must remain open and accessible. - Mozilla Manifesto
Individuals must have the ability to shape
their own experiences on the Internet

We’re building a movement. We want to keep
theweb open for the next 100 years
Where to start? Everyday web users
making and doing things that help the open web
Drumbeat’s role: host projects and events that
gather smart, creative people around big ideas

Why???
We all benefit from the open web

It’s the most powerful communicationtool in the history of humanity.
The nervous system of trade, education,governance,activism, and play.
Lets a single idea achieve global impact.
All without needing someone else’s approvalor permission.
Open = (Participatory +Transparent + Decentralized + Generative)

But we can’t take the freedom of the web for granted

There are many who would neuter or control the web we have built

Imagine an internet filled with devices you can’ttinker with
and walled gardens.
What’s at risk? Privacy. Access. The freedom to create and innovate.

We need to protect it. Improve it. Grow it.

Drumbeat = your chance to keep the web open and free

A chance for the rest of us to get involved
A global community of smart, creative, everyday people who actually make and do things that attack problems, power big ideas, and build the open web
