London launch party fx4

Okay so this is a quick and dirty wiki page on rough plans that should be solidified for the London 2011 Firefox 4 Launch Party in London.

Possible dates right now fall in the range of April 9th to April 24th inclusive. This is so that we catch the school holidays and can hopefully get more people attending and more of the younger community involved (and maybe their parents :D )

Working Group

William Duyck, Gervase Markham, Arran Ross-Paterson, Desigan Chinniah, Laurian Gridinoc, Henrik Mitsch, Piotr Zalewa, WeLikePie

Ideas

• The party should come in two parts, an afternoon talking bit which younger community members like Leo and others can come to, and an evening till night part which should contain lots of drinking and does not have to be at the same location, for this part we could just move on to a local bar/pub/club.
  
• Invite not just Mozillians but those interested in becoming Mozillain or those who just want to join us in celebrating the Firefox Awesomeness
  

Possible Venues

These should have (but do not have to have):

• Beer (MUST)
  
• Projector
  
• WiFi
  
• Music
  
• No charge (can have conditions)
  

Short List

Talks / Speakers

Ideas on talks / speakers

• We should have some talks at the event so as to wow and amaze those attending. Many have seen a some of our the demos but some have not seen those like flight of the navigator etc....
• We should also have something along the lines of a brief history of where we came from and where we might be heading.
• Finally we should have something about the community. William has been working on a talk about this, it still needs some work however this could be completed by the event.
  
• We should mention the Join Mozilla program
