<b>Summary</b>: Have you hosted a Summer of Code Party? Then tell us your experience! Wasn't it awesome? If not, how can we make it better? If it was awesome, how can we make it even more awesome? If you haven't hosted a meeting, why? You missed a lot of fun --- come by and tell us!

<b>How your session furthers the MozCamp Goals (https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCampEU2012/Tracks)</b>: The Mozilla Summer Of Code was a centric event of educating people how to use the web, how to change it and have fun doing this. Also, it was a event where people came together from different places and shared a common interest - and that from all over the world at the same time! Continue this kind of events is centric to achieve the Mozilla Mission. Therefore, it's good to review the past events and make sure more people get empowered/motivated to do an event on their own next time.

<b>Expected Outcome or Deliverable</b>: new hosts for next summer of code parties; "better" summer of code parties based on best practices exchanged in this session; interconnect hosts to make aware this was a world wide event and maybe have some "call other people at the other side of the world" action during the next summer of code party?

<b>Desired Audience Type or Skill-set</b>: Nothing - open to everyone!
