 __NOTOC__
-Mozilla Drumbeat events are participatory gatherings for anyone who cares about the future of the open web. You are not likely to find keynote speakers or panels at Drumbeat events, and lectures and slideware will be in short supply. The entire agenda is interactive and dialog-based, designed to be driven by the interests, experiences, and passions of those who show up.
+Mozilla's new Drumbeat initiative will include local events where people can imagine -- and help build -- the open web of the future. These events will happen in cities all over the world.
-No one needs to be an expert to join in a Drumbeat Local event. Questions and curiosity will counterbalance knowledge and vision as the currency of conversations in Drumbeat Local sessions. There are already plenty of events for geeks and techies -- Drumbeat events are about creating space for *everyone* to get involved in cool projects that create a better internet. Most attendees are new to Mozilla and Drumbeat.
+==Want to get involved?===
-The design of Drumbeat events is a work in progress, being co-created by participants and local organizers. The first Drumbeat events will help to establish “what a Drumbeat event feels like”, and we encourage you to help us shape the format and the vibe.
+Mozilla is '''looking for local leaders who want to organize a Drumbeat event''' in their own city.
