Was it worth it? Should we participate again?

	As far as Mozilla company objectives, I think hackathons & general web training aren't quite the right fit for this crowd. Most of the big-tent talks seemed to be well attended, as were hands-on making physical things workshops. The low turnout for the three workshops we did were indicative of the fit not being quite right.

			We also met 2-3 people who were really interested in becoming contributors to MDN, so if tat pans out it will definitely make the event worthwhile.

	I think if Mozilla participates again it would make the most sense to do talks on security & privacy (possibly Persona). This seems to be more in line with what many of the attendees are interested in & drew the most crowds.

	It's basically a festival with big tents in a field & a campout. It's volunteer organized and driven. It fits with the overall Mozilla mission.

			The 4 main speaker tents were huge, with smaller tents and workshop areas for additional tracks. Talks covered a a wide mix of topics, from Web Security 101 to encryption to hacker darlings like Wikileaks and bitcoin. There we a lot of maker-projects as well - from making a "spork" to tie-dying t-shirts.

	~~What did~~ we get ~~out of it?~~		We went into this event wanting to experiment with the format of webmaker + MDN and so this event was successful for giving us time, place and some people who were willing to participate in our experiment. Basically, we were working on a way for us to work together. It was worth doing the event to get the feedback from the people who did attend.

	~~Any mentionable outstanding reactions from~~ the ~~audience?~~
			Both talks were received pretty well I think.

			The Firefox OS talk had some good questions in the QA part at the end. I also talked to many people at the conference who wanted to know more about Firefox OS, or see it in action. (I had brought a phone)

			I got a lot of email on the security talk. Even though it was a beginners talk the general response was 'wow i did not know these things' so I am pretty happy with that. It was also a good change to promote CSP and I got a lot of positive response on that specifically.
