==PAST WINTER 2017 SESSION==
*This program is designed for volunteers who are already actively involved in technical evangelism and advocacy in regional, local or campus communities. We expect you to share a video of yourself speaking on a technical topic or pitching a technical talk you'd like to deliver. We'll ask for examples of how you are already active in raising awareness and adoption of Firefox, Mozilla, and the Web through your current activities. Stay tuned!
* Winter 2017: wconsisted of 6 Labs sessions (1 hour each in Vidyo), on consecutive weeks, scheduled over a 6 week period beginning in early February and ending in March. (The full calendar is still a work in progress.)
* Be prepared with a link to a video of you speaking and answers to the longer questions before you begin your application. It is not possible to save your application and go back to it. Here's a preview of the application to help you prepare: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kC14CsW4byTeUPQDajLXTN-8MKehBg28FU-PhljP2Yk/edit Copy of the application to help you prepare: '''Tech Speakers Winter 2017''']
* The live application link is here: [https://mozillaparticipation.wufoo.com/forms/w17cv5jq116ml9t/'''Tech Speakers - Winter 2017''']! Applications will close at midnight on Friday, December 30, 24 hours before New Year's Eve in California. (12:01am PDT December 31, 2016).
* '''Masterclasses''' are expert presentations to help you develop and practice your skills as speakers, trainers, and facilitators for technical audiences.
**Masterclasses will be live-streamed on Air Mozilla and will be available to logged in participants to watch in real time or asynchronously. Each Masterclass will includes practice exercises and homework assignments. Some of the practice and homework will take place in your Lab, some of it you’ll do on your own and bring to your Lab or submit via a form.
**For example, the Masterclass about writing a strong talk proposal may include a homework assignment where you identify a relevant conference and write a CFP and bio.
**A Masterclass about the physical aspects of presenting may ask you to record a short video of yourself standing and presenting.
* '''Labs''' are small group meetings that happen in Vidyo or via Google Hangouts during alternating weeks, facilitated by current Tech Speakers and Tech Speaker staff.
**You will be ‘assigned” a Labs group based on your timezone and availability. We expect you to attend all the Masterclasses and complete all assigned Labs homework in order to qualify as a Tech Speaker and be eligible for funding and other perks.
**We expect you to attend all the Labs sessions - if you miss more than one Lab, you will not be eligible to ‘graduate’ as a Tech Speaker.
* If you are planning to go on offline or on holiday in February-March, you might want to wait till we offer this session again. Expect to spend a minimum of 3-4 hours weekly to attend sessions and complete assignments.
