* Plan your schedule in the same way as an in-person event. | |||
* Appreciate that there will not be physical swag, but perhaps some digital equivalents - use them to decorate your desktop and/or profiles and perhaps use a different Firefox theme. It will help the event feel different from the normal routine. | |||
* Read the [https://www.mozilla.org/about/governance/policies/participation/ Community Participation Guidelines]. They still apply at a virtual event. | |||
* Be sure to give time to those trying to speak from different locales. Speaking in a different language to your own is not easy, trying to do that while speaking into a computer is going to be uncomfortable, but their contribution is just as valid and welcome. | |||
* Be aware that the schedule of the event may be based in a different time zone to your own. Be sure that you know what time sessions are scheduled for. Also, consider making sure you have groceries in (as you may not be able to go at your normal time) and adjust your sleep patterns a little so the event is not so hard. | |||
* If you have one, wear a lanyard and pass from an old event. It will help you to feel that you are at a real event. | |||
* Mute your microphone by default when not speaking in a session. | |||
* Make sure you know how to un-mute your microphone and also how to share your screen. | |||
* Between calls, be sure to get up and walk around and be sure to stay hydrated. | |||
