== Summary ==
Mozilla Europe is organizing a large two-day Mozilla conference in '''Prague, Czech Republic, 3-4 Oct, 2009'''. The conference, officially called "Mozilla Camp Europe 2009", aims to bring together Mozillians (staff and community members) from 4 main areas - '''DEV''', '''l10n''', '''Advocacy''' and '''QA''' - with a special focus on Europe.
<br> On Friday, 2 October 2009, a separate event open to the general public will be organized at the Angelo Hotel (next door to the Mozilla Camp Europe venue). For details, see [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Prague_DevDay_2009 Prague DevDay 2009]
NB: due to limited space, the Prague DevDay is for the general public and NOT for Mozilla community members registered for the Mozilla Camp. The DevDay is an event aimed at presenting the Mozilla project to open source enthusiasts living in and around Prague who are interested in learning more about Mozilla.
