We are planning the very first MDN Work Weekend on March 7-9, in the Mozilla Paris office.

Goal

To do actual, tangible work: written idea proposals, designs/mockups, new docs, code, and/or new tools or processes. The goal is to produce something tangible at the end of the three days. We want anyone and everyone to be able to participate and share their idea/feature/product & get it on the radar for 2014.

Participation

We welcome contributors to MDN - both volunteer and paid staff, old timers and new! However, to keep the sessions as productive as possible, we're limiting the number of attendees (plus, the office can only handle so many). Both contributors and paid staff can apply to attend.

For the March Work Weekend, the application period is now over & invites are in process of being sent to those who were accepted (and notices to those who we can't accommodate this time.) If you missed out this time, don't worry - we'll be holding more Work Weekends in the future!

We’ll make sure to have virtual participation as an option as well. Details to come here soon.

Schedule

  • Thursday, March 6: Travel (everyone should plan to arrive this day/evening)
  • Friday, March 7:
    • AM: breakfast at hotel, Review Mozilla goals, pitch ideas, create idea board, form teams (i.e., minimum of 2 people), lunch
    • PM: set team goals & working agreements, make stuff
  • Saturday, March 8
    • AM: Breakfast at hotel, make stuff, lunch
      • PM: Make stuff, dinner
  • Sunday, March 9
    • AM: Breakfast at hotel, make stuff, lunch
    • Sunday PM: Present results, After-party
  • Monday, March 10 : Travel home, hopefully exhausted

This is going to be an intense, fun and productive weekend!

Logistics

Mozilla will cover the travel and accommodations of volunteers who are invited to attend. Each day, breakfast will be at the hotel, lunch catered at the office, and we there will be small and large group dinners arranged for each night.

All travel will be booked through Mozilla's travel agency, ProTravel. Invitees will be contacted by a ProTravel agent to make arrangements.
