Summary
Mozilla Europe is organizing a large two-day Mozilla conference in Prague, Czech Republic, 3-4 Oct, 2009. The conference, officially called "Mozilla Camp Europe 2009", aims to bring together Mozillians (staff and community members) from 4 main areas - DEV, l10n, Advocacy and QA - with a special focus on Europe.
On Friday, 2 October 2009, a separate event open to the general audience will be organized at the Angelo Hotel (next door to the Mozilla Camp Europe venue). For details, see Prague DevDay 2009
Tracks
The L10n tracks and QA tracks will consist of sessions/workshops/brainstormings/lightning talks all related to localization and quality assurance.
The DEV tracks will encompass different sub-areas (eg. Firefox, Thunderbird, Fennec; Add-ons, Labs etc..).
To define track topics and their format, "track leaders" have been identified and have been asked to brainstorm with their teams and active members of the Mozilla community on topics they would like to tackle and the participants they would like to invite.
Since the conference is less than 2 months away, it is important that all track leaders get back to William Quiviger and Irina Sandu by August 15th with their suggested sessions and a list of up to 15 people they think Mozilla Europe should invite.
