My Opera news » Blue Beanie Day

Thursday, 20. November 2008, 10:54:00

Blue Beanie Day is the brainchild of Doug Vos, creator of the Designing With Web Standards group on Facebook. Since October 27, 2007, over 4,300 members have joined, representing over fifty countries and with My Opera's involvement there's bound to be many more!

Doug invented Blue Beanie Day in 2007 to promote awareness of web standards. Blue Beanie Day 2007 can be found on Facebook — visit the event page.

Friday, November 28, 2008 is the day thousands of Standardistas (people who support Web standards) will wear a Blue Beanie to show their support for accessible, semantic Web content.

We're hereby announcing the My Opera community's participation in the second annual Blue Beanie Day! Please join us on Friday, November 28, 2008 to show your support and love for Web standards and accessibility.

How to participate:

Join the Blue Beanie group on My Opera.
Get your picture taken wearing a blue beanie^* on Friday November 28.
On November 28, switch your profile picture and post your royal blueness to the Blue Beanie Day 2008 photo group at Flickr and to the Blue Beanie group photo album on My Opera. That’s all there is to it!

So, who's in? I know I am!

^* Web professionals "down under" and in otherwise summery climates can subsitute the beanie for a blue cap.

Yay, Blue Beanie Day again, that came round fast!

Well my avatar is always in a blue beanie. You can just see it peeking out from under my blue hood in the picture taken in the Arctic when I was dog sledding a couple of years ago.

Mush, mush to web standards!

I'm wearin a red beerny to support Opera standards. I hate 2B jumpin on someone elses bandwagon.

To the nameless nordic who wrote this article tell Opera to start giving away red beernys inlieu of tshirts. It'll help cut shipin costs.

peter # 20. November 2008, 22:08

Promoting awareness of web standards? Surely there are more important issues like worldwide poverty, peace not war etc? And waht does web standards mean? How we conform as individuals behaving on the web? or is it using standard web technical protocols or something?

I just hope some people would not be narrow minded when it comes this event. Although, I just heard about blue beanie now, Im sure its not just some sort of non sense thing. Anyways, the web has help us a lot, not just in meeting people, but in our daily lives. I don't mind wearing blue beanie.

Casey Jade # 21. November 2008, 14:03

tbret # 22. November 2008, 16:31

sounds great but don't we already have standards set by the W3C?

Karen # 23. November 2008, 06:08

I really, really want to learn to knit and/or crochet.

Too bad I can't partake in this.

kerry (with a y!) # 23. November 2008, 16:24

genrevieve # 24. November 2008, 10:26

Igor # 25. November 2008, 16:41

Facebook is not properly W3C compliant so why this idea comes from that site?!

Charles Schloss # 25. November 2008, 17:01

igorditerni that is where the event was started last year. Not many sites are W3C compliant but that numnber is growing as the webmaster fix them.

Igor # 25. November 2008, 17:36

Exactly... Why start a standard diffusion project in a really not standard site?! Sorry but i don't understand.
It is like a man that say to an other: "don't touch your nose" while the first have his finger inside it!

Charles Schloss # 25. November 2008, 17:43

igorditerni you can ask Facebook to use W3C standards, you can do that with any site.
