==What are “Open Sessions”?==
Open sessions are sessions proposed by delegates and participants. They may happen in all three cities if proposed in advance and if there are enough facilitators. Or they may just happen in one city. It is really up to the people who proposed the sessions to decide this.
These sessions will take place on Saturday and Sunday afternoon at the Summit, and will be smaller in size than sessions in other parts of the agenda. Participants will be able to propose sessions in the time leading up to the Summit, and as space permits, sessions can also be proposed at the Summit itself.
==What makes an “Open Session” different from other sessions?==
Open session topics will vary in each of the three Summit locations, and will reflect the unique interests, skills and passions of those present in each city. The emphasis in Open Sessions will be on discussion and knowledge sharing, and formats are intended to be dialog-oriented and hands-on rather than lecture or presentation. We will discourage use of slideware, and instead invite Open Session facilitators to let questions and participant interests shape the course of their sessions. Learning by doing, co-creating and co-designing formats will be especially encouraged.
==How do I sign up to host an Open Session?==
It is as easy as sending an email! Just send this information:
*Name of session:
*Your name:
*City where your session will take place (Brussels, Santa Clara, Toronto):
*Short description of session (1 paragraph):
*Anticipated outcomes from session (what skills/knowledge will participants take away?):
*Questions -- anything you want clarified:
Send your session proposals (and questions!) to Gunner, '''allen@mozillafoundation.org''', who is coordinating the Open Sessions. You’ll receive confirmation of your submission and information on next steps.
==Why do I need sign up in advance to host an Open Session?==
Sanity and efficiency. With about 600 people in each city, and with Open Sessions spread across at least 10 rooms in each location. we are hoping to make it easy for every participant to find the sessions they want to join. Taking dozens of session proposals in real time from 600 folks is unlikely to go smoothly. Participants will be able to propose Open Sessions on the day-of, but we humbly request as many proposals as possible be shared in advance in order to maximize the quality of experience. More learnin’, less churnin’!
==How do I get a room for my Open Session?==
Once we have marshaled all the Open Session proposals, sessions will be grouped into available rooms at each site. Note that there will be more than one session in each room - our hope is keep session sizes small by encouraging a larger number of sessions.
==How do I sign up to participate in an “Open Session”?==
No advance sign-up will be required to join in open sessions. At the event, you will be able to browse session choices in each room, and attend the session of your choice.
   
   
==How will I know about all of the sessions (especially the ones that are not pre-arranged)?==
