Firefox Add-ons enable you to customize the features, functionality and look of your Web experience. More than 85 percent of Firefox users have at least one add-on installed and of those people with add-ons installed, they have an average of five add-ons. As of July 2012, there have been over 3 billion downloads of add-ons on AMO.
Event Type: Meetups
Add-on meetups are a great way to show interested developers how easy it is to create add-ons using the Builder and SDK. They are also an excellent platform for authors to demo add-ons they have created. It's simple to set one up and let the knowledge-sharing and mingling begin!
Venue
Moz Spaces are ideal for this type of meetup, because there is a presentation/demo portion and a socializing portion. But any mixed-use space would work.
Format
- Time: weeknight, 6-8pm; allow 30 minutes at the beginning and end (6:00-6:30, 7:30-8:00) for socializing and refreshments
- Speakers: 3 speaker slots (15 mins each), then open floor to community for 5-min lightening demos
- Refreshments: hors d'oeuvres and beverages
- Raffle: Mozilla gear
