Brief

Dear Webmakers

We want everyone to tap the full creative power of the web.

The Mozilla Festival is a magnet for people interested in learning about – and playing with – the future of the web. Mozilla has grown over the past 15 years into an organisation that plugs directly into what the web can and will become. We see the Festival as an opportunity to draw as many interested people as possible into the conversation about what tech can do.

And it’s not just about tech. It’s about anyone and everyone interested in the possibilities the web has to offer, coming together and sharing their skills and expertise.

We want to move people from using the web to making the web.

Part of this move leverages new skills and attitudes. That’s why the Mozilla Festival focuses on small, peer-learning sessions. Another part of this move is about tools and content. That’s why we’re also excited about the sessions that explore the edges of the web and aim to build shared, viable solutions.

The sweet spot is in collaboration across skill-sets and in learning by making. Together.

-- Mark Surman, Executive Director of Mozilla

Where

The Mozilla Festival will be hosted at Ravensbourne, a wired media and design campus located in East London next to the O2 concert arena. It spans nine floors, combining maker labs with impromptu classrooms and bleeding-edge tech.

How

We’re replacing darkened lecture halls with nine floors of maker labs bursting with passionate people — all building and teaching the web in real time. To make this work, we need people of all different skills and persuasions.

Goals

Make things with the tools Mozilla and others are creating.
Learn who is building what, how we can share and help each other.
Imagine making in 100 years: what future are we building?
Design the things we want to build next, especially for mobile.
Fuel leaders who want to invent, teach and organize.

-=Mozilla Festival 2012: ReMo=
+The Mozilla Festival is a magnet for people interested in learning about – and playing with – the future of the web. Mozilla has grown over the past 15 years into an organisation that plugs directly into what the web can and will become. We see the Festival as an opportunity to draw as many interested people as possible into the conversation about what tech can do.
-'''A yearly festival with hundreds of passionate people exploring the Web, learning together, and making things that can change the world.'''
+And it’s not just about tech. It’s about anyone and everyone interested in the possibilities the web has to offer, coming together and sharing their skills and expertise.
-Making, Freedom and the Web<br>
+We want to move people from using the web to making the web.

-You will need all your web making talent for this one. Teach people about the way of the webmaker, and how to use the new Mozilla Webmaker tools to their full potential. Not only will you teach people the way of the webmaker but you will also aim to produce webmaker makers... so you will be a webmaker maker maker!

-====Roadside Attendant====
-You will not be in one place, your job is to seek out those who are not doing anything at the end of breaks and just before sessions and help those people get involved. Get them to a session that's just right for them, talk with people about Mozilla, get peoples synapses firing, and join in with a few sessions.

-If none of these ReMo oriented options sound of any interest to you, and you would still like to get involved it may be worth taking a nose at the [[Festival2012/Volunteer | volunteer roles at the festival]].
