'''This page describes the 2017 Mozilla All Hands event.''' You may instead want [https://wiki.mozilla.org/All_Hands/SanFrancisco2018 '''All Hands SF 2018''']
'''What is it?''' -- Multiple team meetings, happening in the same city, at the same time + some opportunity to get together as one big group as well as with other teams as it makes sense. Then, on the last day, we have a fun social event for all, Mozilla-style!

The Hilton San Francisco conducts key checks 12:01AM to 6:00AM at the main entrance where guests will be requested to present their room key to the Security officer.  In the event a guest misplaces their key, they will be required to show a valid picture ID (convention badges are not considered valid ID) to obtain a new key or to have security access their guest room.

Our standard travel guidelines apply (pre-populated in Egencia) when booking with a few additional budget constraints. Anything booked outside of them will require approval. Most people will arrive on Monday, June 26 and leave on Saturday, July 1. Here are some exceptions:  
* If you live in a country where work travel is prohibited on weekends, you may travel on Friday, June 23 and Monday, July 3, if you’d prefer (not required). For hotel, you will book and pay on your own, and expense the manager approved amount (which is coded to your cost center).

* If you plan to spend some extra personal time in San Francisco (choosing to arrive before Monday, June 26 or depart after Saturday, July 1), you'll need to create an itinerary in Egencia for standard dates/locations within the San Francisco Portal and compare to the custom dates you'd like. Please share the difference via email to bmark@mozilla.com or through the approval comment box when you submit the flight. You can sway up to +$100 over and Mozilla will cover it. Otherwise you'll need to come with an alternate itinerary that fits within the pricing (like a round trip in and out of SFO w/ longer dates, and you personally book & cover the rest). We do not have the ability for employees to reimburse Mozilla for any overage.

Change fees will be covered by Mozilla for business reasons only. If you need a change and have manager approval, email bmark@mozilla.com prior to requesting the change with Egencia. Once you have approval, call Egencia to make the change at +1 (702) 939-2530 or +1-877-264-1622 (note this will not be possible without prior approval so be sure to get that by way of an email from your manager to Brianna Mark). If you are changing for personal reasons, the change in airfare, change fee and Egencia fee is your responsibility.

====From the Bay Area but not taking the Mountain View Office Shuttle?====
Our expectation is that you commute to the hotel just as you would to the office in the Bay Area. If you normally take the BART or MUNI, do that. If you normally drive and pay for parking - that's up to you but hotel parking is not a reimbursable expense for the All Hands.

^Transportation for those based in the Bay Area is limited to "commuting" as you normally would. Expenses for commuting are not reimbursable. We have provided shuttles from the MV office for those based in the south bay. For those who that doesn't make sense to use, commute using your normal means. We will not reimburse for hotel parking.

Of course our focus, for the majority of the week, will be on Mozilla. Everyone is expected to be present and engaged each day, during work hours (as your schedule dictates). Please do what you can to make sure your loved ones understand the kind of commitment you’ve made. Family should not join you during your work sessions (other than the more tiny beings). Please note that what are able to do for families varies by each location.
