MozWeekend: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:22, 23 May 2014

MozWeekend is a framework and class for events to take on. It allows the rapid formation and planning of events focused on the bonding and creation of your community using Mozilla values as glue.

Principles

Mozillians is a family.
Segregation from paid Mozillians felt by other Mozillians can be just because they don't know the employees well.
Employees, Volunteers and Contractors should be collectively known as Mozillians. Employees and Contractors, as needed, can be referred to as "paid Mozillians" or "paid contributors".
Mozillians are the basis of our products, therefore are higher up in the hierarchy of importance.
Some product focus should be shifted to the bonding and building of the Mozillians Family.

Framework

With the success of Mozilla Weekend Albania - Feb 2014, which followed the principles of Mozilla Weekend, we have started developing a framework, which will be trialed by a Mozilla Weekend in London.

The framework will include things such as:

Template Emails to attendees
Branding
Guides on how to run an event successfully
Ideas for things to do
Tools to make the event happen
Information on usage of a Mozilla Space
How to get help

Excepted delivery for the framework is August 2014

Questions

We're always up for a chat about the project! Drop us a line (or 50) mozweekend@mozilla-community.org routes to us

-== Expected Outcome ==
+The framework will include things such as:
-We want MozWeekend to bring Mozillians together with the others around them. This includes paid/unpaid contributors, contractors and those around the FOSS community who support Mozilla.
+* Template Emails to attendees
+* Branding
+* Guides on how to run an event successfully
+* Ideas for things to do
+* Tools to make the event happen
+* Information on usage of a Mozilla Space
+* How to get help
-== How? ==
+Excepted delivery for the framework is '''August 2014'''
-We plan to operate about 50 MozWeekends each year. The idea is simple and gives flexibility to the people organizing the events. Our expectations are for ReMo to help provide financial support to bring about 50-100 contributors from your country together for 3 days.
-== What is included? ==
+=== Questions ===
-Lots of social! We expect the MozWeekends to help mozillians get to know each other beyond the IRC Nick/Twitter Handle.
