Brainstorming for the Balkans:2010 event
Name
- Balkans:2010
- Balkan MozFest
- Balkans:2k10
- Mozilla Balkans Meetup/Meeting/Gathering
- Moz-S.E.
- Mozillians@Balkans
Location
Skopje, the capital of Macedonia.
Goals
- What are the local Mozilla communities
- How to enlarge local communities and how can people get and stay involved
- Mutual cooperation
- Promoting the Mozilla and its projects in the Balkans
- Why would one contribute to Mozilla projects
- Examine Firefox market share in the region, and work on strategies to consolidate/improve
- Share l10n experiences and promote the value of native speaking users
Attendees
Open event like FOSDEM. Need to get list of Mozilla Contributors that are coming (separate page).
- Which Balkan (and surrounding) countries are going to participate?
- Albania
- Bosnia & Herzegovina
- Bulgaria
- Croatia
- Macedonia
- Montenegro
- Romania
- Serbia
- Slovenia
(Please add at least on representative of the local mozilla or free software community that you know or will be willing able to attend)
- The number of attendants (depends on both of the venue and Mozilla Europe budget; Gorjan needs to give us some estimates on prices)
- Number of attendants sponsored by Mozilla
- How many fully sponsored attendants
- How many semi-sponsored attendants
- Split the number to sponsor equal number of attendants for all communities on Balkans
Timing
- Date: End of May, Early June maybe? (22-23 May? / 29-30 May?)
- Duration: 1-2 Days, probably Saturday-Sunday
Camp Location
Skopje, capital of Macedonia
There are a couple of hotels in the center of the city.
Gorjan should investigate this. We need a brief hotels description, in terms of conf room size, spare beds at given time, location...
Conference rooms in hotels in Skopje can be quite expensive, and would attribute a too formal note on the whole event, the University should give a more informal and yet creative and open event.
Schedule
We will probably need 2 key notes from people involved at Mozilla, some community and technology evangelism. Localization and developer tracks as well.
- Keynotes - Mozilla
- Community Talks
- L10n Tracks
- Marketing
- Drumbeat (Kerim)
- Development
An hour of lightning talks will come in handy ;)
Fun
Jovanovski: I had the idea of doing some sort of tattoo beach party Saturday night at a beach club, because we have I had a bunch of tattoos left.
Budget
Jovanovski: Give me the green light, and I'll look up hotels, prices, do bargains for massive booking and so on.
Other places to discuss
- #balkans channel on irc.mozilla.org
Meetings
