Talk:Project/2010 Goals/Open Web

Discussion Seed

In Mitchell Baker's initial proposed set of 2010 goals, she mentioned the open web several times:

... thought leadership expands to include things such as the open web, hybrid social enterprises, organizational sustainability, shared decision-making, individual control, and portability in Internet life ...

... demonstrate that “mobile” is part of one, unified, open web ...

Suggestion: Actively Advocate the Open Web

The first comment on the blog post mentioned above encouraged using Mozilla's unique position to actively advocate the Open Web. The entire comment was:

I think your sub-sub-bullet point that mentions “open web” is way understressed. Too many people in the world don’t know what this is and what it means to them. And Mozilla, being uniquely not a commercial company but still having a large impact on what the web is, can make the point clearly. This is especially important when many other major players tend to rely on secrecy for too many things.

• I think at this point, one (Mozilla) should come up with a clear definition of the Open Web and why it's important. (Tristan)
