Curently most of our members are bussy with their jobs and school (and some were or still are out of country), but we have some ideas in near future about new event, app day, so for now it is on hold.
• Slovenia - Open Way conference end of April. Organised by Nino. Some Mozilla talks.
• Albania - OSCAL in May. ~20 vouched Mozillians expected. 250-300 attendees.
• Greece - mozstumbler event in Samos - possible mozcoffee in Thessaloniki (to be confirmed)
• Croatia - focused on DORS/CLUC 2015 (May 18th-20th) ~ 500 attendees, at least 2 talks from Mozillians and one FirefoxOS workshop.
