World Wide Web Day is celebrated on August 1st every year, it is a global celebration dedicated to web browsing.
Tim Berners-Lee developed the World Wide Web (“WWW” or the “Web”) in the year 1989 at the CERN centre located in Geneva, as a way for him to interact with co-workers via hyperlinks. A quarter of a century later, WWW has become the principal means of transaction, interaction and communication among the humans, opening the door of possibility for people in ways that would have been unthinkable to the previous generations. The World Wide Web is a global information medium which users can read and write via computers connected to the Internet. The term is often mistakenly used as a synonym for the Internet itself and often called “the Internet”, but the Web is a service that operates over the Internet, just as email (also e-mail) and Usenet also does. The history of the Internet dates back significantly further than that of the World Wide Web. Web is the global information system.

DEF CON 34
2026-08-06 - 2026-08-09
DEF CON (also written as DEFCON, Defcon, or DC) is a hacker convention held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The first DEF CON took place in June 1993 and today many attendees at DEF CON include computer security professionals, journalists, lawyers, federal government employees, security researchers, students, and hackers with a general interest in software, computer architecture, hardware modification, conference badges, and anything else that can be “hacked”. The event consists of several tracks of speakers about computer and hacking-related subjects, as well as cyber-security challenges and competitions (known as hacking wargames). Contests held during the event are extremely varied and can range from creating the longest Wi-Fi connection to finding the most effective way to cool a beer in the Nevada heat. Other contests, past and present, include lockpicking, robotics-related contests, art, slogan, coffee wars, scavenger hunt, and Capture the Flag. Capture the Flag (CTF) is perhaps the best known of these contests and is a hacking competition where teams of hackers attempt to attack and defend computers and networks using software and network structures. CTF has been emulated at other hacking conferences as well as in academic and military contexts (as red team exercises). Federal law enforcement agents from the FBI, DoD, United States Postal Inspection Service, DHS (via CISA) and other agencies regularly attend DEF CON. Some have considered DEF CON to be the “world’s largest” hacker conference given its attendee size and the number of other conferences modeling themselves after it.

EFFecting Change Livestream Series: Who the Machine Serves (TV webcast)
2026-08-12 19:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Amsterdam)
Nicole Ozer and Cory Doctorow in conversation on Artificial intelligence (AI), tackling what needs to happen now to ensure AI actually works for everyone, not just those in power.
The important thing about a technology isn’t just what it does: it’s who it does it for and who it does it to. AI can help or harm people, and EFF was created to make sure it helps. We are at a critical juncture to ensure that AI is developed and used in ways that respect fundamental rights and works for those who build it, use it, and are affected by it. Join the livestream online followed by live Q&A.

#Linux – verjaardag / birthday 35 (1991) 2026
2026-08-25
Op 25 augustus 1991 kondigde een jonge Finse student, Linus Torvalds, zijn “hobby” OS aan op de minix-nieuwsgroep, daarmee was Linux geboren.
Linux is een familie van open-source-, Unix-achtige besturingssystemen gebaseerd op de Linuxkernel. De verschillende Linuxvarianten worden Linuxdistributies genoemd en zijn meestal gratis verkrijgbaar. De Linuxkernel wordt verspreid onder de GNU General Public License (GPL). Omdat Linuxdistributies in de regel gebruikmaken van het GNU-besturingssysteem, de standaard-C-bibliotheek en voldoen aan de POSIX-standaard, wordt het geheel ook wel GNU/Linux genoemd.

Bits of Freedom (BoF) brengt in kaart hoe onze overheid moet stoppen met discriminerende algoritmes, maak samen met BoF de atlas Open Kaart Overheid!
Bits of Freedom wil dat de overheid stopt met discriminerende algoritmes en digitale uitsluiting. Samen met Stichting Wijsheid in Herstel worden ervaringen en gevolgen van digitale profilering en uitsluiting zichtbaar gemaakt. Heb jij ervaring met digitale uitsluiting en discriminatie door de overheid en wil je jouw verhaal delen? Ben je zelf niet geraakt, maar wil je wel helpen dat discriminatie door de overheid stopt? In beide gevallen ben je ontzettend welkom aan de open tafel. Bits of Freedom brengt in kaart hoe en waarom onze overheid moet stoppen met digitale uitsluiting en discriminerende algoritmes. BoF maakt daarom de atlas Open Kaart Overheid! Help je mee? Meld je dan aan voor ons actieonderzoek op 30 juli en 28 augustus 2026 in Pakhuis de Zwijger. BoF zorgt voor materiaal, hapjes (halal/vegan), ontmoeting en we luisteren. Jij vertelt en verbeeldt je verhaal op jouw manier. Je krijgt je eigen kaart.
