Take Back the Web is a new venture run by campaigners along non-hierarchical and not-for-profit principles. We want to create a free forum for discussion, skills and knowledge sharing so that the benefits of using the Internet are available to all groups, no matter what their budget is. Practically speaking, this entails empowering grassroots, local organisations with the useful Internet skills.The conference will be run with two types of seminars:1) Skills workshops on creating and using blogs, RSS/XML, wikis and podcasting.2) Open sessions to discuss and debate the use of Web 2.0 for activism. You will be free to suggest topics that you want to discuss.The conference will be held on 28 October 2006 at The Friends Meeting House in Brighton. The day will begin at 12pm and run until 4pm with an hour for lunch. If you would like to attend please go to: http://tbtw.mollyguard.com and sign up.We will then confirm your booking and send you a questionnaire. The questionnaire will aim to ascertain what you want from the conference and how best we can organise it to suit your needs.
