| |
| <br>This wiki page is for Mozilla staff interested in attending Mozilla Festival. It addresses travel, accommodation, registration and other logistical details specific to staff. '''Please note there are different processes for MoCo and MoFo staff, described below.'''
| |
| | |
| MozFest is dedicated to forging the future of the open Web. It's where passionate technologists, educators and creators unite to hack on innovative solutions for the Web's most pressing issues. We explore topics like privacy, ethics, literacy and economy on the Web.
| |
| | |
| More information, including schedule, program, volunteering and more is available at the main festival site, [http://mozillafestival.org/ mozillafestival.org]. If you have a question that's not answered here, please let the festival team know at [mailto://festival@mozilla.org festival@mozilla.org].

| ===== MozFest Venue =====
| |
| MozFest 2016 is being held for it's 6th year at [http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/51.5007/0.0032 Ravensbourne, 6 Penrose Way, London, SE10 0EW].
| |
| | |
| It's easy to get to Ravensbourne, it's right next to The O2 Arena. By Tube take the <span style="background-color: #868F98; color:white">'''Jubilee Line'''</span> to North Greenwich Station. You can also take mainline services from London Bridge, Charing Cross, Canon Street and Waterloo East to Charlton and take the 486 bus. If you fancy something a little different you can take the Thames Clipper riverboat services from central London to North Greenwich Pier or take the Emirates Airline cable car to Emirates Greenwich Peninsula.
| |
| | |
| When you arrive in London make sure you grab yourself an Oyster Card. You can either get one at any London Underground station or you can order one in advance on the [https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/visiting-london/visitor-oyster-card Transport for London website]. You will need to either pay £3 for the card (plus postage) online or pay a refundable £5 deposit at a Tube station. You should put £5 credit on to your card as well as a 7-day travel card for Zones 1 and 2. It comes to a total of £32.10 but it includes unlimited travel around Central London, so it's well worth it.

| ===== Printing Company =====
| |
| We have two printing companies to recommend this year.
| |
| | |
| The first is for more generic printing, so anything from posters to vinyls to stickers. [http://www.aspectpress.co.uk/ Aspect Press] are amazing to work with and they are a local company based just down the road from Ravensbourne. If you want anything professionally printed contact [mailto://mwalsh@mozilla.com Marc Walsh] and he'll do the necessary introductions.
| |
| | |
| If you require extra large or rigid printing we'd recommend you use [http://www.pixartprinting.co.uk PixartPrinting]. They are a European printing company, but are extremely cheap for anything printed on cardboard, fomex, wood or aluminium. Make sure you leave plently of time of delivery as even with a next day service, as they are delivering from mainland Europe it can be subject to delays.
