Balkans/Events:2010/Skopje

Brainstorming for the Balkans:2010 event

Name

• Balkans:2010
  
• Balkan MozFest
  
• Balkan MozCamp (probobly not)
  

Location

• Ohrid, Macedonia - By the Ohrid lake, famous tourist destination and a city of UNESCO. Connected by a mayor highway, bus lines and an airport(yet I think there are almost no flights to Ohrid)(If people land in Skopje and need to get to Ohrid, that may well be a big journey. Taxi - Bus - Taxi). Map

• Skopje, Macedonia - The reserve location, if transpiration to Ohrid is poor.

• What about Nis/Ниш? (Bogo)

Goals

• To get people on the Balkans more excited about contributing to Mozilla, the Open Source project and the Open Web in the whole.
• To let fellow contributors meet each-other and exchange ideas.

Attendees

Open event like FOSDEM Need to get list of Mozilla Contributors that are comming

Timing

• Date: End of May, Early June maybe?
• Duration: 1-2 Days, probably Saturday-Sunday

Camp Location

There are a couple of hotels in the center of the city, and some further away on the shore. I prefer the city center as it's closer to everything.

Talks

• Keynotes - Mozilla

• Community Talks - Kerim
• L10n Tracks - Milos
• Marketing - Gorjan & Bogo

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.
