Visiting Boston
Office
People
The Boston Mozilla space is stewarded by Lyre Calliope (volunteer contributor) and Sheeri Cabral (MoCo). Reach out to one of us if you'd like to come play!
Location
Mozilla's Boston Office recently moved to a brand new location at CIC Boston, a coworking space for startups with a bias towards non-profits and social enterprises. Staff presence is regular but small; check ahead via IRC and/or Twitter if you'd like to cowork.
50 Milk Street, 17th Floor Boston, MA 02109
The lobby is temporarily located on Devonshire Street, until the end of 2014.
Please sign in at the lobby. Once construction of the main lobby at 50 Milk Street is complete, those with a key card will be able to swipe their key card. Those without should still sign in; signing in is on the honor system, no ID is needed.
The office is next to the State Street MBTA station (Orange/Blue lines). It is walking distance from Park Street (Red/Green line MBTA - 0.3 miles) and South Station (Amtrak trains, buses, Red line MBTA - 0.4 miles).
To get keys
If you plan on having a desk here in Boston, contact the CIC Boston manager Amy Beaupre <beaupre@cictr.com> You will need to provide your name, email, and cell phone number and she will generate a key card and accounts for you. The key card can also function as a Charlie Card for MBTA public transit service.
Wifi
Authentication is by global password and information is available when you get to the Mozilla Space
Amenities
There are surge protectors and extra Apple power adapters. There are also 2 mini-fridges with drinks and an assortment of non-perishable snacks. Cambridge Innovation Center has a full kitchen with 2 fridges (one for personal food, one for public consumption) and plenty of coffee, tea and fresh fruit.
There is a Vidyo cart with the hardware for the Boston Mozilla room. To use the Vidyo cart - plug it into ethernet, plug it into an HDMI-enabled TV (the monitors in the cubes aren't HDMI-capable), and plug the power supply in. Then turn on the Vidyo box.
We do irregular snack orders, see http://intranet.mozilla.org/Boston for details on how to order.
