===Add your event to the MozCamp Wiki=== | ===Add your event to the MozCamp Wiki=== | ||
Add your event to the MozCamp Wiki under "Upcoming MozCamps" (URL needs to be added). This will allow you to be able to promote your event, and also provides a space for your event collaboration wiki. Also see [XXX Create a MozCamp Wiki] | Add your event to the MozCamp Wiki under "Upcoming MozCamps" (URL needs to be added).

==Your MozCamp Wiki Page== | |||
As noted you should add your event to the MozCamp Wiki - see: XXX | |||
===Create a MozCamp Wiki=== | |||
Start by creating an agenda page at a URL like this: | |||
https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCamp/<cityname> | |||
Just type the URL into Firefox, hit enter and then edit the blank page you are given. Make sure you have some basic details noted such as the date and eventually the location and timing etc. | |||
Feel free to expand the wiki as you see fit, maybe take inspiration from other wiki event pages - see [XXX Create an agenda]. Just remember simple is better, people will struggle to find all needed information if it is several pages deep. | |||
===Create an agenda=== | |||
* Check out our MozCamp Sample Agenda page for some talking points to get you started. https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCamp/SampleAgenda | |||
* Its also fine to have your event come together in an organic form. With a smaller group, you might want to create a schedule when you arrive for the event (just make sure participants are prepared to come and share / speak) | |||
* Your sessions can be brainstorms, more technical discussions, inspirational talks about the open Web and much, much more. | |||
* Find more materials for inspiration on [https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCamp/Sessions Session ideas] and look into available [https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCamp/Slides Slides] you can use. | |||
===Participants=== | |||
Ensure you have a 'Participants' section, where attendees can find an email address to sign up to join you. You will want to make sure they email you their First Name, Last Name. Once a person has emailed to join the event, send them a note back, and add their name only to a roll call list of attendees shown in the Participants area. | |||

This can be one of the most difficult choices. Do ask for help with recommendations on your wiki. Hopefully someone will come forward with an idea and even 'donate' a venue. | This can be one of the most difficult choices. Do ask for help with recommendations on your wiki.

Advice on the location set up: | |||
Ideally, (and this will depend on the type of event you want to hold), the venue space will have both the possibility to have a larger meeting room where you can meet as one group. And the additional possibility to have “break-out” areas/rooms, so smaller groups can collaborate and discuss in a quieter setting. | Ideally, (and this will depend on the type of event you want to hold), the venue space will have both the possibility to have a larger meeting room where you can meet as one group.
