Date: April 21st, 2011
Venue One: The Hub King-Cross
7pm - 10pm
Venue Two: The Star Of Kings Pub
10pm - 3am

Schedule:

  • 6pm - start setup
  • 6:45pm - doors open (anyone early will be asked to help with final bits of setup)
  • between 7pm and 7:10pm - start short talk on Mozilla (who we are, where we come from, why we rule)
  • between 7:10pm and 7:20pm - start talk from Chris on the amazing Firefox 4
  • between 7:30pm and 7:40pm - get the drinking and socializing going with some music (with a live dj)
  • 9:30pm - last orders at The Hub
  • 9:45pm - attendees leave for pub, some stay behind to help clean up operation
  • 10pm - the party moves onto a nearby pub
  • some point Thursday night or the wee hours of Friday morning - everyone goes home (or to nearby accommodation)

A game will be held between talks and music to help transition. It should be something that helps with community building while being incredibly fun at the same time. Something like multi-massive multi-player thumb war which was done in Barcelona during the last night of the Drumbeat festival.

Winners will receive an Easter Egg (due to proximity to Easter) and possibly a free drink.

Communication Plan * How you will document the event or project (e.g. photos, blog post, tweets, etc.)?

  • Blog posts from the attendees, and those organizing.
  • Photos and some videos of the event in action.
  • Tweeting and Facebooking.
  • A short and sweet survey for attendees to fill out at the end.

Target Audience * Who are you trying to reach? Please be specific as possible.

New and existing members of the Mozilla community as well as those interested in getting involved (inc' a few people from other communities i.e. drupal)

Project or Event Goal * What impact do you aim to have as a result of your campaign, party or event?

Gain new community members that will be willing to contribute to Mozilla in a variety of areas, get the word out about the Join Mozilla program, promote the Mozilla manifesto and its principles, and try to get some good press about Mozilla Firefox.

Strengthen community spirit and connections, but ultimately the goal is to party, have fun, make new friends and celebrate the world's best browser!

Project URL * Your Meetup Everywhere URL (http://www.meetup.com/Firefox/), blog post, etc.

Background Information * Provide any additional information that will help us to select you for the grant.

[not sure what to put here]

Budget * What is your estimated budget? Please list out items and include estimated cost associated with each.

The currently known total cost of the event for organization and venues is £0 gbp, however we would like to get a round of drinks behind the bar at each venue. £500 requested for drink (one round per venue)

An additional £25 is requested to by a bottle of bubbly for the organisers and those volunteering time (speakers, people helping with running event, dj)

Final: £25 for any last minute needs such as pens to write on name tags if forgotten, or unforeseen hiccups. All extra funds will be returned to Mozilla.
