Happy “One Web Day”;http://onewebday.org! For those not familiar with the new holiday, it’s “like Earth Day for the Internet” – an opportunity to celebrate the internet and it’s awesomeness and also do a little something to make sure it keeps headed down the right path. Here in DC the One Web Day team is putting together an e-democracy time capsule (which will be great for archival reasons and to get some laughs in 20 years when techies look at the stuff we thought was cutting edge). There’s still a couple hours to submit your stories and videos about e-democracy, internet policy, and what you think the future holds. And in case you were wondering why the metro was extra crowded this morning, it’s Car Free DC day. I hope you remembered to bike or metro to work.In addition to the holidays, there are a lot of other tech events happening around the city this week. Here are the ones we’re hoping to attend, and you can find a full schedule of the week over at DC Tech Events. Hope to see you out this week!*Monday, September 22*7:15 – 9:00 pm“DC Drupal Meetup”:http://groups.drupal.org/node/14805: This will be an exciting one.
