Standardistas unite! Het is vandaag de dag van de web standaarden en alle geeks herken je vandaag aan de blauwe muts. Zeldman vereerders (Zoals Reinier Meenhorst hier -») herken je vandaag helemaal…
De geste is ontstaan door toedoen van Douglas Vos, founder of Facebook’s Designing With Web Standards Group:
Monday, November 26, 2007 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. … Don a Blue Beanie and snap a photo. Then on November 26, switch your profile picture in Facebook and post your photo to the Blue Beanie Day group at Flickr.
Instructions:
- Make a personal commitment to fight Web Standards Apathy. Show solidarity with the Standardistas on November 26th, 2007.
- Buy, beg, or borrow a Blue Beanie (blue hat or cap, even a black or grey one will do in a pinch.)
- Take a photo of yourself wearing the Blue Beanie. Or take a cool group photo of you and your friends wearing Blue Beanies.
- Post your photo, or photos to Facebook, Flickr, and other social networks on November 26th, 2007. Remember to switch your Facebook profile photo that day. While you’re at it, switch all your social network profile photos. Flickr, Twitter, Last.fm, iLike, Pownce, you name it.
- Promote Blue Beanie Day in your blog or wiki starting today, and tell all your friends to get ready for Blue Beanie Day. Start by inviting all your Facebook friends to this event.

Hehehe – ik heb mezelf als Zeldman-vereerder (LOL) kostelijk vermaakt met het zoeken naar bekenden in die Flickr group. Daarnaast naar aanleiding van de muts aardig wat over web standards gepraat die dag. See you with your blue beanie next year T!
