Summary:

After a positive reception at ReMo Camp 2012 in Berlin and Mozcamp Europe in Warsaw, we would like to iterate on a Webmaker SIG. Notes on previous discussions.
Review existing SIGs
Work in small groups to decide on scope, goals, and initial framework for the Webmaker SIG. This session looks to the experience of Mozilla Reps and hopes they are interested in stepping into leadership roles in shaping the SIG.

How your session furthers the MozCamp Goals (https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCampEU2012/Tracks):

ReMo SIGs are very effective programs that improve contributor skills and grow a dedicated community. Important focus areas of SIGs include: mentorship, leadership positions, repositories of tools and best practices, and even budgets and swag access.
Hundreds of events and Webmaker activities were organized by Mozilla Reps in the last few months. How can Mozilla better support and improve these efforts, especially towards better documentation, systematic support, and leadership opportunities.

Expected Outcome or Deliverable:

Desired Audience Type or Skill-set:

Mozilla Reps interested in Webmaker activities
