Hello,

  On April 14+15 the Open Web Vancouver 2008 (www.openwebvancouver.ca)
conference will showcase open web technologies, communities and
culture, and evangelize the Open Web to developers, designers,
organizers and the community at large.

  What's the Open Web? Good question. Tell us "What's the Open Web and
Why It Matters" and win a free two-day Open Web Vancouver 2008
conference pass.

  How the essay contest works: Write a posting answering the two questions:

    * What's the Open Web?
    * Why does the Open Web matter? Why is the Open Web important?

   That's it. Publish your posting on your site, blog or elsewhere and
than tell us about it to get short-listed for the free two-day Open
Web Vancouver 2008 conferece pass. More contest details @

   Not interested in Open Web? As an alternative tell us "What's Web
3.0 / Microformats / the Semantic Web / the Giant Global Graph and why
it all matters".

   Cheers.
