There is clearly a movement building piece here, which I am not quite saying yet. But that is what I am imagining.

Depending on what people shows up, what is important on the web at the time of the event, animators have to customize their event to serve the goals of MozCamp+. | |||
We want to help by providing a platform for ideas, event themes, and place to leave feedback from previous events. We should allow preparing several flavors of the event, techie, informational, educational etc. | |||
After each event we should get a kind of report from it together with feedback on what did work and what didn't, suggestions on improvements and what to avoid in the future. It should replicate itself and auto-improve over time. | |||
