== Mozilla Festival Summary ==
=== Mozilla Festival Weekend ===
MozFest opens on Friday evening with our Science Fair. Saturday morning starts with Keynotes on the 4th floor followed by sessions, workshops and fireside chats until 6 pm. Sunday morning opens with an opening circle followed by sessions until 6 pm when we close the festival with a Closing Demo party.
It is a fun event held at a wonderful, open and inspiring venue, Ravensbourne. Ravensbourne is located in Greenwich Peninsula opposite the O2 Arena.
=== MozFest House ===
Starting in 2017, we prefixed Mozilla Festival with a week-long space, MozFest House. MozFest House is a central London venue that extends MozFest into a week-long festival. MozFest House features films, workshops, conferences, and talks, all focusing on Internet health and showcasing the diversity of the Mozilla network. The venue also features a free co-working space.
=== What to Expect as a Volunteer ===
=== What will I do? ===
Volunteers are integral to the Festival, and we ask Volunteers to help with a number of roles. Please, the link below for more information. We are also always interested if you have any specific skills you can bring to the Festival. Please email [mozfestvols@mozilla.org mailto:mozfestvols@mozilla.org] if you have anything in mind.
=== Will I be fed? ===
Read the participation guidelines in full here.
=== How many hours will I be asked to do as a volunteer? ===
=== Can volunteers attend sessions? ===
For 2018, we are trialing a coordinated shifting system which will give volunteers more freedom on the sessions they choose. Read more above.
=== Will my travel to the festival be covered? ===
Unfortunately, Mozilla is unable to cover travel or accommodation to the festival over the weekend.
=== Do I have to wear the Volunteer t-shirt? ===
=== Are there age restrictions on volunteers? ===
As a rule, volunteers less than 16-years of age (at the time of volunteering) will need to be accompanied (, at all times) , by one or more a parent or legal guardian - we would not normally accept anyone less than 8-years of age. There is no upper age limit. There may be limits on when people under 16 can be on site - please talk to coordinating team for clarification.
