== What is the MAOW? ==

Have you always dreamed of going behind the scenes of Firefox ? Are you a Web developer (or not yet!) and have you always wished to make your first Firefox extension ? As an Add-ons developer, you are familiar with XUL, overlays, chrome, but have never dared go further?

This is the opportunity for you to make your wish come true: the next Mozilla Add-ons Workshop is coming to Berlin, on Saturday, 28th of March! In collaboration with the German Xul community, the MAOW will be a day of workshops and presentations (mostly in German, but also English) about Mozilla Technologies, and more particularly about Add-ons.

The schedule includes workshops that will teach you how to make your first extension, many presentations of new Mozilla technologies, conferences on how to hack and contribute to Firefox ... and on top of this, you'll be able to discuss with skillful developers, along with a nice cup of coffee. And not to forget to mention your own demonstrations of Add-ons and of XulRunner applications !

And last but not least, we have the honor to announce the presence of Rey Bango, Community Manager for Mozilla Add-ons, and of Paul Rouget, Mozilla Tech Evangelist, as well as many active members of the Mozilla community.

== Participants ==

Web developers, hackers, C++ developers, XUL developers, or bloggers, journalists and people just plain curious about Firefox Add-ons : '''EVERYONE IS WELCOME and ENTRANCE IS FREE'''

== Goals ==

* Propose a base for discussions and exchange for XUL developers and non developers.
* Encourage and facilitate the creation and diffusion of Add-ons by German developers.
* Promote a local Mozilla ecosystem.

== Schedule ==

If you know the Mozilla platform, we strongly encourage you to help us by giving a talk : feel free to send an email to Paul Rouget <paul at mozilla dot com>. It can be about one these proposed talks, or something from you.

Here is a tentative schedule.
