SUMO Event Kit

When to organize a SUMO event?

Generally, the frequency of events should depend on their scale. The bigger the event, the less frequently it happens. Big, global things at Mozilla happen once or twice a year, maximum. Smaller, local events can happen more often, but they should never happen without a clearly defined goal. You should know why you are meeting and what will change after the meeting already before you meet! :-)

Let’s look at the details...

How to organize a SUMO event?

First of all - take a look around - maybe there's already an event happening somewhere in the area. Check the Mozilla Event Calendar for that or contact your local Rep(s) to see if there's something happening that's not in the calendar. If there are some events already happening, contact the organizers and ask about the possibility of co-organizing a SUMO event as part of their event(s). If you need help or support with that, contact mana@mozilla.com or vesper@mozilla.com. If there are no events in the area, and you still want to organize one, that's great!

Let’s go through the event checklist:

  • (optional) Contact your local Rep(s) to get on-the-ground support with further planning
  • Decide on the main theme of the event. Your options are:
    • Helping others directly (includes [Army of Awesome] and/or [Support Forums])
    • Improving the Knowledge Base (in [English] or [your native language, if it's not English])
    • Hacking on the code of the platform (forking Kitsune from GitHub)
  • Do your research and create a document with as much of the information from the following list as possible:
    • Date (when will the event happen?)
    • Time (when does it start and when does it end, exactly?)
    • Place (where will the event take place?)
    • Participants (how many people do you think will take part? do you know their names already?)
    • Schedule (what exactly will happen during the event? when? who will lead that?)
    • Logistics (what items will you need for the event to be successful? this should include all stationery and internet-related needs)
    • Travel (what is the most practical way of getting all participants together if they need to travel?)
    • Food (will the event require food? where will you get the food from?)
    • Accommodation (will the event require people to stay overnight? what’s the most practical place to host the participants for the night?)
    • anything else that you think could be important for the event to happen successfully

Planning ahead like this is not easy, but it will make your life so much easier - trust us!

Share your document with mana@mozilla.com and vesper@mozilla.com, and we will work with you on the next steps.
