MozCamp Europe Discussions

There was a strong desire to explain the open web to a broad public.
- We want people to understand and embrace the values that underly Mozilla.
Also, there is an opportunity to help others teach and evangelize about the open web.
- This can include formal computer science teaching like at Seneca.
- But it could also simply about giving school teachers in high school materials that make it possible to offer an open web lesson once in a while.
We should be leading they way on policy issues that relate to open standards and the open web.
- There is a chance to help the EU and governments on the issues where we are expert and that we care about.
