→Developer Event Request Guidelines
If you are looking for support from Mozilla for your developer-oriented event, please submit a request using our '''[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/form.dev-engagement-event Developer Event Request Form]'''. Requests are reviewed approximately weekly. Please allow at least 6 weeks lead time before your event (preferably more), to allow for consideration of your request and working out of logistical details. If you have a question about events that is not covered by the request form, please email [mailto:dev-events@mozilla.com dev-events (at) mozilla (dot) com].
We think that it's GREAT that you would like Mozilla to be part of your event! But, we do have many requests from many event organizers, we have a fixed events budget, and so we cannot simply say "yes" to everyone.
In making decisions about sponsorships and speaking opportunities, Developer Relations considers the following factors (among others):
; Mozilla participation : Money alone doesn't represent Mozilla very well, so we only sponsor events where members of the Mozilla community (volunteers or staff) are participating. They could be attending, speaking, or organizing.
; No pay-to-speak : While having a Mozillian speak at your event helps increase the likelihood of getting sponsorship, at the same time, we don't pay for sponsored speaking slots. We prefer that Mozilla speakers be invited or accepted on the quality of and level of interest in their own merits. presentations, not because of the
; Code of conduct : In keeping with Mozilla's [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/participation/ culture of inclusiveness], we strongly encourage event organizers seeking sponsorship or speaker to create, publish, and enforce a code of conduct for their event participants. The bigger your event, the stricter we will be about this requirement. However, small events can also benefit from explicit guidelines for respectful behavior. You can find examples and guidance for writing a code of conduct on the [http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment Geek feminism wiki].
