Webmakers/Event Platform

	Event Platform Roadmap
	Owner: Michelle Thorne, Ben Simon	Updated: 2012-03-9
	We're building an online event platform to track, create, import, and sign up for Mozilla webmaker events.

Mockups

About this project

• The project in 5 sentences:
  • Events are a major participation and community engine of Mozilla's webmaker efforts.
  • We need a place to track events worldwide.
  • That enables users to learn about, create, import, sign up for, and leave feedback about events.
  • The site should allow for communication among organizers, participants, and staff.
  • And it should be dead-simple to use.

Uses Supported in Phase 1

Find Event

• See on Front Page --> Click through --> Know what the event is from description --> RSVP (can message hosts) --> Share
• Search based on type/geography --> View results by Date/Distance --> Pick event --> Know what the event is from description --> RSVP (can msg hosts) --> Share

Desired additional feature: Search event based on keyword in description

Create Event

• Learn about event types --> Pick Type --> Fill in details --> Publish --> Recruit

Agenda & Curriculum design can either happen at "learn about event types" stage or after publishing

Desired additional feature: duplicate past events & address all previous attendees of your events at once

Submit existing Event

• External event exists --> Provide us with url, event type, date/time, location, description, your email --> Event is published to our calendar

Report Back (participant)

• Receive email from Mozilla (or event host) --> Fill out feedback form & share on gallery --> Prompt to host/attend something else in future

Report back (organizer)

• Receive email from Mozilla --> Fill out feedback form & share on gallery --> Prompt to host/attend something else in future
