The session aims to personalize open web technologies and make it more accessible by showing off the people who work with it—not by showing off the amazing things they've built, but by celebrating the awkward stages that brought them there.\n\n### Agenda\nWe'll put together a series of prompts for participants to answer—during the first part of the session, we'll work with participants (beginners and experienced alike) to come up with a meaningful list of questions that would highlight important learning experiences, epic failures, most embarrassing online moments, early victories, inclusive advice, etc. We'll then come up with some kind of tagline for the video: like \"We are the web,\" but maybe a reference fresher than 1985. Finally, we'll set to work recording the testimonials.\n\n### Participants\nOne way to scale this is to determine whether or not we do the recording during the session. With a small number, we could do it on the spot; with a larger number, we could outsource the recording to an open booth or similar.\n\n### Outcome\nAfter the festival, we commit to editing and producing this a series of videos that would be published to YouTube and could live on the learn.knightlab.com site. We would continue to work with the material on an ongoing basis, producing additional videos throughout the year. \n"}}
