FISL 14 - International Free Software Forum

Website: http://softwarelivre.org/fisl14

About FISL

The FISL is held annually in the city of Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The forum is one of the biggest events in the world and the largest in Latin America. Mozilla will be present during the 4 days of the forum, with activities for the audience.

Event date

July, 3 to 6 - 2013

Lounge

This year we are planning to assemble a lounge in the booth area. The idea is to have a nice and attractive space were people would like to come and stay for while with us. We imagine this space with bean bags, projection and maybe a small stage. We are calling it "Firefox OS Lounge".

The lounge will be the stage for some of our activities during the event like the Hackathon and the SUMO sprint.

Summary

  • FISL is an important event and a great opportunity.
  • We think we can make it better than previous years
  • We want to have a permanent space this year in visible area, with a good environment for hacking and an area not related with swag distribution.
    • We don't want a room, we want a lounge. An open space.
    • This Mozilla Lounge must have good internet, lots of power plugs and bean bags for people to bring their laptops and get help…
      • get help from kickass Mozilla Engineers (engineer staff that are not full of work and other emails and bugzilla bugs, and that can give the participants the proper attention) in this area.
  • FISL should also be used for the keynotes and talks
  • Maybe also organize a localization sprint or apps-day with some time overlapping with FISL or during FISL

Costs

It looks like the top we can raise via REMO is US$ 40k (R$80k) (does this information proceed?) which will not be enough for travel, food and accommodation for the volunteers if we were to buy any of the below sponsorship packages.

Sponsorship Packs

  • In order to get a booth in the exposition area we will have to pay the sponsorship pack. The area of 25 square meters (about 269 square feet) would cost us R$80,000.00 (about $40,000.00 USD).


Accommodations

There are two options available being discussed for accommodations, the traditional one: hotels and a more ambitious/cheap/potentially awesome option: a house/mansion.

Hotels

The average price for a night with breakfast in Porto Alegre in the week of FISL is: R$200 (source http://www.master-hoteis.com.br/hotel/porto-alegre/master-express-perimetral#o-hotel) per person

Houses

It may be possible to get a good house, with internet connection, barbecue area, for 8 people for R$600 a day. (source http://www.hotelhomebrazil.com/properties/13?locale=en&month=7&year=2013 )

Travels

Mozilla have used travel agencies in the past to buy tickets, however this travel agencies have not been able to pay for taxi cabs and buses in the past, which where handled by REMO reimbursements bugs.


Food

Food in the past have been handled by reimbursements by REMO or Mozilla, and like the item above, reimbursements normally don't work. Volunteers need to eat, since they are already giving us their time and work for free. We (the organization team) find important that the sponsored volunteers eat and we don't think they should pay for themselves in advance and in the hopes of being reimbursed some time in the future.

Our suggestion is to reserve R$40 per day per person and give them in cash at the moment of arrival in Porto Alegre, lowering the bureaucracy and raising the feeling of trust which is good for morale/

Planned Activities

Talks

As far as talks are concerned, we have both listed some good-to-have talks and we have already submitted some Mozilla related talks to try and be approved for free in the voting system that FISL has.

Good to have Topics (needs negotiation $$)

We would like to have talks about the following themes in this year's FISL, but we haven't submitted most of them through the FISL voting system, so any talk and keynote speaker from the list below must have been negotiated with the event directly or bought with a sponsorship package (it looks like those packages includes keynote spaces).

  • Rust and Servo (Dave Hermann/Brian Anderson/Patrick Walton/Brian Burg)
  • Emscripten and asm.js (Dave Hermann/Alon Zakai)
  • Firefox OS (Fabrice/Ben Francis/Chris Heilmann/Robert Nyman)
  • Web Apps (Fabrice/Ben Francis/Chris Heilmann/Robert Nyman)
  • Devtools (Paul Rouget / Panagiotis Astithas)
    • There is a belief in Brazil that Chrome's dev tools are currently more advanced/ahead/more useful than Firefox's.
    • We have to bring developers back to Firefox. That's an awesome way. Dev tools is one of the most innovative area of Firefox desktop currently
    • Developers using Firefox for development may lead to more developers developing for Firefox OS (this happened with Chrome apps)
  • Game Development (Alon Zakai)
    • This would help us to bring game developers to web stack and potentially apps to the Marketplace.
    • Innovation (Emscripten, asm.js - related)
  • SUMO - Supporting Firefox and Firefox OS (Ralph)
    • Increase the number of SUMO contributors.
      • Attract non-technical audience who may be interested in localizing.
      • Attract technical audience who may be interested in helping in forums.
    • SUMO Advocacy - Suporte da Mozilla guiando decisões do futuro do Firefox (Matthew Grimes)
    • Talk to users before/after to find out common issues in Brazil

Submitted talks (not confirmed)

FISL has a talk submission system in which organizers and participants vote for talks and panels they want to see. Submitting a Mozilla-themed talk via this system is a great way to get talk space without having to pay their sponsorship fees.

Below are some of the submitted talks currently running up in the voting system that contains either the keyword "mozilla" or "firefox", being listed below does not mean that the talk has something related to the Mozilla topics that we want to see in FISL or that the submitted talk was submitted by a mozillian/community member.

Keyword Mozilla

(Can someone convert this to a table please?)

Keyword Firefox

Meetings

The FISL14 organizing task-force gather up on Google Hangout every Monday at 19:00 (Brasília, GMT-3) to discuss what is still to do and how to make it happen.

The hangout links are published on the community-brasil mailing list.

Please, Let's Keep It Open!

The group of volunteers maintaining this page, the weekly FISL planning meetings and the actual volunteers participation in this event should be informed and consulted about all planned FISL activities and parallel efforts of other groups. We don't like surprises and last minute imposed stunts, please be open! Close-door meetings and top-down decisions doesn't fit the openness and transparency we are trying to achieve here.
