Mozilla Social

Proposal for, and eventual planning of, a Social Mozilla Events structure.

The idea

An event that has no overly formal structure, little in the way of large presentations, but includes a lot of socialising, making of friends and connections, and showing others the work you do in the communtiy and getting help with anything you need help with.

The Event Structure

Welcomes

The event should start with the usual people saying hello followed by a short presentation detailing the event structure {just so that things are achieved} as well as a talk on why the open web is so much awesome.

The lightning talk round

The event, although being social, does encompass some lightning talks by several of the people attending. These talks are 10 minutes long instead of the usual 5. They include 5 minutes max for the talk and 5 minutes for some quick, initial Q/A.

There should be no more than 4 lightning talks.

Getting to know you

This follows the lightning talks, and should be at least an hour long, over coffee and biscuits. It should have large enough tables to fit groups around them and have good converstaions to talk about what people do, and maybe even have space for a computer so things can also be shown.

Nice to see you to see you nice

This is the end of the event. People will be asked to visit a feedback form to gather information on the success of the event, as well as a contact exchange {details to be worked out}.

Total event time

3 hours run time for the event to allow for delays, and a final talk if desired about something BIG.
