That future is here in Kansas City, home of broadband and barbecue. Following previous events in San Francisco and Chattanooga, we invite you to join us for a weekend of authentic BBQ, talented people and a unique opportunity to hack on Kansas City's 1 gigabit-per-second Google Fiber network. | |||

==Project/team formation== | |||
<strong>Projects and teams are coming together now.</strong> Dive into the projects below, add your thoughts, and get involved. | |||
If you're not sure where you fit in but are interested in hacking for good on 1 Gbps Google Fiber that's ok, too. <strong>Get in touch with us and we'll help figure out what makes sense.</strong> Emailing ignite at mozillafoundation dot org is the way to start. | |||
And while there's heavy emphasis on shipping code, all skillsets are welcome! It takes a village to make a good application. | |||
Projects created here are just the beginning. If you make something great, we'll help you make it happen. KC is rich with resources and we are working to bring the right people together and resources to pilot these projects in the real world. | |||
The projects & "Minimum Viable Products" created here could grow into submissions to the Mozilla Ignite Challenge with $250,000 of seed money, mentorship and other resources to help get off the ground. | |||
We want teams to start building as much as they can before the event -- there's no reason to wait until Friday the 22nd to get started. | |||
