Things to think about when planning a Mozilla Social: | |||
*'''The date'''<br>Research the date range that you want to host the event and make sure that it does not clash with anything '''too''' big else you may not get anyone turn up at all! | |||
*'''Getting some help'''<br>Working alone on an event is fine, but if you have help it will make things a lot easier. If you are doing an event somewhere there has been one before, get in contact with the orgainisers and see what they know about venues. | |||
*'''Create a wiki page'''<br>This will allow for others to help fill in any gaps that you miss. If it is a Mozilla Social event then think about having the wiki following the url structure like this: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mozilla_Social/ <cityname>:<date> | |||
*'''Participants'''<br>Invite the people that you absoulutely have to have such as guest speakers, etc... and do it early. That way you can make sure they can turn up before you get the date set 100% | |||
*'''WiFi'''<br>This is a must have, but make sure it can cope with however many people you plan on having at the event. Maybe nominate someone to keep it alive? Consider not releasing the details of the network untill after the lightning talks. This will allow those doing them to have a good, fast connection to the internet if they need it. | |||
*'''Resources'''<br>Make sure that anything you may possibly need is there with you. Get a list up on your wiki page of what others need and maybe agree as a group to bring certain things, and others bring other bits. | |||
*'''Getting the word out'''<br>Once you know what you want to have, where you are having it, and who is speaking. Get the word out via as many social networks as possible and maybe even via the Mozilla Blog | |||
*'''Getting Ready'''<br>Make sure you turn up early and that everything is set to go at least 5 minutes before the event is set to start. This way you wont have to worry when people turn up and you can socialise yourself. | |||
*'''Have Fun!!!'''<br>This is self explainitory, dont be all work. If you have fun, others will too! | |||
