The future of the web must be open. It is essential. But it is not inevitable.

Therefore, at the Drupal Association, we feel it is important for the Drupal Community to take an active role in promoting the Open Web because of how crucial its principles of open access, open standards, free expression, and digital inclusion are to the well-being of modern societies.

As such, we are proud to issue our Open Web Manifesto.
