Romania/MozRO at FLOSSCamp 2012

Synopsis

The members of the Romanian Mozilla community discussed about the necesity of organizing a national meet-up to solve the current crisis in mozilla.ro and make future plans. The general impression is that we should all gather at the Free/Libre/Open Source Software Camp by the end of the month (July 27th-29th), given that European Mozilla Camp is coming soon, in the first weekend of September (September 8th-9th).

Probably the dedicated meet-up will better to be organized in the Q1 of the next year (March 2013).

Soon is MozCampEU

While at the European Mozilla Camp in Warsaw are being invited just a few Romanian Mozillians because of the high costs of participation, at FLOSS Camp most of the Romanian members could come if the travel is sponsored by Mozilla (about $100 per person).

Irina Sandu who is also familiar with the crisis in the Romanian community mozilla.ro came with the idea of organizing a dedicated meeting at MozCampEU2012 where the present Romanian members would participate to discuss the re-organization of mozilla.ro and future plans.

Sooner and more affordable is FLOSSCamp

Taking this into consideration, a prior Mozilla meeting at FLOSSCamp in Romania would be very useful so the EUMozCamp discussions be representative.

We are filling a budget request for Romanian Mozilla community meet-up at FLOSSCamp for 10 active members. It is of short notice, but we hope that the Mozilla Reps Council will deliberate in one week.
