What we know

  • It should be the Drumbeat Quebec event (how can the open web add value to Quebec
  • There is interest in the Montreal community, but it will be a challenge to get more than the usual suspects - it means it will be a longer process of bringing in the usual suspects as such the when will be further down the road
  • 4 hour event
  • $500 event budget
  • 50 people (?)
  • Who will the key organizers be?
  • We don't know who would localize the materials REALLY IMPORTANT!

What we don't know

  • When (we have an idea though)
  • Who we're organizing it with
  • Event space
  • What kind of support you get from Mozilla
  • How thoughts and plans merge with the rest of the drumbeat events and community
  • Cost (food, hope for donated space - if we can't get free space then it's an indicator that there's not enough interest)
  • What language the event will be documented in (hopefully both)
  • What's a bigger hook, FLOSS or Mozilla, don't know the reach that Mozilla would have

Assumptions

  • Bilingual event (Montreal Style - people speak English or French with no translation)

Timeline

  • Try to get Drumbeat materials localized into French
  • Suggested date in the fall, looking to engage students - early November
  • Convene a meeting of 5 to 6 people from different communities (Christine Prefontane, Sylvan P, Brett Gaylor)
  • August/September - go to clubs at the universities, identify student organizers
  • Secure an event space
  • Set up a page on drumbeat for the event
  • Start Promotion and buzz
  • Party
