Mozilla Festival — Media, Freedom and the Web
London, November 4 - 6, 2011
A gathering of smart people using the web to bend, hack and reinvent media. We're solving real problems and building prototypes with talented designers, worldclass journalists, and rockstar developers. Get your by-line on the future of media and the web.
Vision
The bendable, hackable, remixable nature of the web has dramatically changed the media landscape. Television. Radio. News. Comics. Music. Books. Film. All have been engulfed by the technology and culture of the internet. Or, as grand media meister McLuhan put it: TV, radio, books, etc. have become the content of the web.
What do we want this webified media landscape to look like when it grows up? The Star Wars Kid or LucasFilm? Arcade Fire or Clear Channel? ProPublica or roadkill on the information superhighway?
If you make media, build the web or both, you've got a say in this. The web is lego. You can build whatever nifty, fun, creative, innovative version of the media future you like.
That's the point of this year's Mozilla Festival: to gather smart people using the web to reinvent the media. We'll spend three days throwing down design jams, hackfests, learning labs, science fairs and parties that pull the best of modern web technology and technique into the world of media making.
Whether you're a web geek who makes media or a media nerd who love the web, this is an event you shouldn't miss.
Goals
- Get more media people thinking like the web. Build prototypes using the web as raw material; it's lego you can use to invent the future of media.
- Run a three day accelerator. Focus and accelerate web media projects. Use design jams, hackfests, and more to recruit new people and move ahead fast.
- Connect geeks across media organizations with the latest web tech. Get the digital departments of large media organizations excited and innovating using HTML5, web apps, etc.
- Lend a hand. Drive open tech. Offer up Mozilla and others making open tech as a helping hand for geeks working in TV, radio, news and other media. Grow the open community.
Innovation Challenges
 |
Hackasaurus Takes on Web Media |
||
| We're designing around the way kids learn technology, based on Mizuko Ito's concepts of hanging out, messing around and geeking out. Tools include HTML Pad and X-Ray Goggles that let kids bend, blend, and remix websites easily. How can we get more kids to lift up the hood and tinker with the web? | |||
 |
HTML5 Wizardry Duels |
||
| Show down coding wizards with your latest web-building skills. Learn from the masters and impress the public. Bonus: How can we use HTML5 to augment journalism? How can we scale our knowledge and teach others how to play? | |||
 |
Web Apps and the Future of News |
||
| Develop a web app in real time. Web apps are applications that run on any device and can be distributed through any store or directly by the developer. Can you make the next big web app that scratches your news itch? | |||
 |
Journalism Design Jams |
||
| Design solutions to pressing problems in journalism. How can we use web tools to protect sources? Go beyond commenting? Create easy data visualization? Jam on these concepts and more with leading designers, journalists, and technologists. | |||
 |
Augment "Little Brother" in Blender and Butter |
||
| The book "Little Brother" by author Cory Doctorow features seventeen years old Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” whose adventures read as a handbook for protecting your privacy online, foiling surveillance cameras, and standing up for your rights online and off. We'll be souping up the Creative Commons-licensed story with open media tools. | |||
 |
Overnight MoJo Hackfest |
||
| News should be universally accessible across phones, tablets, and computers. It should be multilingual. It should be rich with audio, video, and elegant data visualization. It should enlighten, inform, and entertain people, and it should make them part of the story. Hack overnight with major news outlets, talented developers, and lots of APIs to create the next generation of news applications. Think HTML5, Web Apps, Mobile, and Data Journalism. | |||
 |
Prototype School of Webcraft courses for the media industry |
||
| Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) is an open education project dedicated to "learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything." Mozilla and P2PU have teamed up to create the School of Webcraft, a powerful new way to teach and learn web developer skills. School of Webcraft courses are 100% free, globally accessible, and powered entirely by learners and mentors like you. Come build peer-driven courses for the media industry. | |||
 |
Sing along with WebMadeMovies Karaoke |
||
| Thanks to several excellent contributors and up-and-coming web technologies (most critically Rainbow and popcorn.js), it’s now possible to record yourself singing along to the world's repertoire. You are the band! | |||
Other activity ideas:
- Massive, multiplayer HTML5 video games.
- Web Made Comics
- Music Jammin' and Hackin'. Build your instrument. Mash it up with killer web interfaces. Dance in realtime.
- Science Fair showcasing projects and tools
- Web Maker Lab Takes on the World of Things
- Future of Radio
- Data as Media
