Within each of our offices there is at least one large, open “community space” that can be reserved by any one of our core contributors. These spaces can ***typically hold about 100 folks standing or 55 sitting**** (have varying capacities and packing more than that into the area just isn’t safe). If you have an event that’s bigger than about 100 folkswhat capacity can hold, Mozilla Spaces simply cannot accommodate it – the building enforcers will make sure of it (and that would be embarrassing).

In addition to an invitee list that hovers somewhere ***South of 100 standing bodies or 55 sitting ones****sticks to our capacity constraints, there are a few other things to consider if you hope to host an event in one of our spaces:

*Every event hosted in a Mozilla Space must have a sponsor. This is one of the “policies” we mentioned above that protect us from liability. Sponsors can be Mozilla paid staff or certain, designated volunteers.

These folks are ultimately accountable for the event. They are required to be present during the whole event, will file all required “tickets” for support and/or catering, and will ensure all safety, noise, and security policies are honored.

Occasionally, we’ll get requests that conflict with paid staff meetings or other events. To help with that, here’s a breakdown of the types of events, when they can be booked and how we juggle conflicting requests.

** These events can only be hosted in the community space and not exceed the maximum room capacity in that space. (Paid staff area is off limitsfor events) 

A guest is any non-Mozillian who comes to one of our spaces for a meeting or to work with a team for a period of time (less than 5 days)the day, on a Mozilla-related project (this includes candidates onsite for interviews).

* Your guest must sign into the in when entering a Mozilla Space (there is typically a sign-in sheet at the front desk in each building). This part is critical from an emergency-planning perspective so please insist.* Your guests are welcome to snacks and drinks in the common kitchen areas (but they need to steer clear of any alcohol for liability purposes)ensure this happens.

* Your guest is expected to be respectful of our space. If they need to move furniture around or use AV equipment in conference rooms, please do it for them. If that means contacting WPR or Desktop please be courteous and give them proper notice of at least 24 hours.
