Changes

==When to organize a SUMO event?==Generally, the frequency of events should depend on their scale. The bigger the event, the less frequently it happens. Big, global things at Mozilla happen once or twice a year, maximum. Smaller, local events can happen more often, but they should never happen without a clearly defined goal. You should know why you are meeting and what will change after the meeting already before you meet! :-) Let’s look at the details... == How to organize a SUMO event? ==First of all - take a look around - maybe there's already an event happening somewhere in the area. Check the [https://www.mozilla.org/contribute/events/ Mozilla Event Calendar] for that or [https://reps.mozilla.org/people/#/ contact your local Rep(s)] to see if there's something happening that's not in the calendar.If there are some events already happening, contact the organizers and ask about the possibility of co-organizing a SUMO event as part of their event(s). If you need help or support with that, contact mana@mozilla.com or vesper@mozilla.com.If there are no events in the area, and you still want to organize one, that's great! Let’s go through the event checklist:* (optional) [https://reps.mozilla.org/people/#/ Contact your local Rep(s)] to get on-the-ground support with further planning* Decide on the main theme of the event. Your options are:** Helping others directly (includes [Army of Awesome] and/or [Support Forums])** Improving the Knowledge Base (in [English] or [your native language, if it's not English])** Hacking on the code of the platform ([https://github.com/mozilla/kitsune/ forking Kitsune from GitHub])* Do your research and create a document with as much of the information from the following list as possible:** Date (when will the event happen?)** Time (when does it start and when does it end, exactly?)** Place (where will the event take place?)** Participants (how many people do you think will take part? do you know their names already?)** Schedule (what exactly will happen during the event? when? who will lead that?)** Logistics (what items will you need for the event to be successful? this should include all stationery and internet-related needs)** Travel (what is the most practical way of getting all participants together if they need to travel?)** Food (will the event require food? where will you get the food from?)** Accommodation (will the event require people to stay overnight? what’s the most practical place to host the participants for the night?)** anything else that you think could be important for the event to happen successfully Planning ahead like this is not easy, but it will make your life so much easier - trust us! Share your document with mana@mozilla.com and vesper@mozilla.com, and we will work with you on the next steps. == Hackable / Remixable Event Resources == Are you ready to run a SUMO event, presentation or sprint?
