People:MozSpaces Guidelines: Difference between revisions

”MozSpaces” are what we lovingly call our offices.  Each one of them is designed to feel unmistakably Mozilla – bright, open places where folks can come together to hack, code, design, research, create, engage and contribute to building a brighter future for the Web.   

To make sure our spaces are cared for, safe, and available to Mozillians in a way that makes sense and feels fair, we’ve put together some general use guidelines and a few policies -- stuff we’ll stand firm on that protect us from legal liability.

Within each of our offices there is at least one large, open “community space” that can be reserved by any one of our core contributors.  These spaces can typically hold about 100 folks standing or 55 sitting (and packing more than that into the area just isn’t safe).  If you have an event that’s bigger than about 100 folks, Mozilla Spaces simply cannot accommodate – the building enforcers will makes sure of it (and that would be embarrassing).  

In addition to an invitee list that hovers somewhere South of 100 standing bodies or 55 sitting ones, there are a few other things to consider if you hope to host an event in one of our spaces:   

* Its purpose must align with our mission, goals and objectives.

These folks are ultimately accountable for the event.  They are required to be present during the whole event, will file all required “tickets” for support and/or catering, and will ensure all safety, noise, and security policies are honored.  

Occasionally, we’ll get requests that conflict with paid staff meetings or other events.  To help with that, here’s a breakdown of the types of events, when they can be booked and how we juggle conflicting requests.  

(I want a diagram for this….)

* These events can only be hosted in the community space and not exceed the maximum room capacity in that space. (Paid staff area is off limits)
