Balkans/Events:2010/Ljubljana/Postmortem

Event background

Mozilla Europe once again sponsored Balkans Communities meet-up, which now happened in Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia. Lead contributors from Balkan communities were invited and sponsored by Mozilla Europe to participate in a 2-day workshop. The aim of the workshop was to enable Mozilla communities in the Balkans to share and learn from each other's experience working on the Mozilla Project, improve collaboration in the future, and work on specific tasks, based on the 5 goals defined in the previous Balkan Meetup in Skopje and in light of the upcoming Firefox 4 release.

Participants

Every community was represented by 2 contributors:

• Bosnian community [Aleksandar Savic]
• Bulgarian community [Bogomil Shopov and Mihail Chilyashev]
• Croatian community [Edin Huric]
• Greek community [Pierros Papadeas & Kostas Antonakoglou]
• Macedonian community [Gorjan Jovanovski & Novica Nakov]
• Romanian community [Alexandru Szasz]
• Serbian community [Milos Dinic & Marko Jovanovic]
