Venue problems

• there are no chairs on the main area
  • for now we have been bringing chairs from other sections of the building and bringing them back
  • 50 or 75 IKEA foldable chairs that can be racked will be ideal
  • (this was the biggest problem when I ran my event; GM)

• there is no water tap
  • water bottles are bought prior to events

• the door from the community space to the kitchen cannot be locked
  • it requires keeping an eye at the door

• there are no garbage containers inside of the furniture that has 3 holes which is supposed to have garbage containers
  • we have to bring bins from other sections of the building
• we need a portable screen to do projection
  • so far we have been able to project unto one of the blinds since it's dark outside
• catering needs to have a waiter
  • groups of 15+ that are getting food need to have a waiter on hand to do clean-up and bussing (busing?) throughout the event

Mission packages/swags

• we should get packages of our mission and how to get involved in the ToMozSpace for people to pick up
• poster explaining the mission
• ReMo Toolkit
• Firefox brand toolkit
• Swags (stickers and others) to just grab
• Marcia's postcards' idea?

Logistics

• determine procedure to grant access
• write down usage of equipment & wireless
• write down parking and transit info

Events/ideas

These are events that we could do and all it needs someone who would like to drive them.

• "Mission day"
  • Talk about the importance of the Mozilla mission and how to empower others to pass on the message
• "Demo day"
  • Showing what the browser can do and why it is important
• "MozCamp"
• "OpenSource Week" (October)
• "Reading Week crash course" (October/February)
• "Web Maker Science Fair"
  • Basically a show and tell for a bunch of cool projects. We've run them at the Mozilla Festivals and they're super popular.
• Something education and learning themed
  • Gather together teachers and educators working on hacking, digital literacy, etc. Matt Price and others have expressed interest. I bet Greg Wilson would be into it, too. + of course Dave Humphrey and others.
• Popcorn Camp
  • Get local film makers together with developers interested in learning more about Mozilla Popcorn. Leverage the success of Kat Cizek's "One Millionth Tower" project
• Hacker Space
  • Invite reps from the Toronto hacker space to do something cool with Arduino. Or lasers. Or something.
• TedX Toronto
  • We have several points of contact. Would be great to host some inspiring tech / thought leadership talks, TED / Ignite style.
• Mobile Android QA Testers
• Newbies Workshop
  • Event for folks who want to start to contribute to Mozilla
• XBox Competition
