Brief

Dear Webmakers

We want everyone to tap the full creative power of the web.

The Mozilla Festival is a magnet for people interested in learning about – and playing with – the future of the web. Mozilla has grown over the past 15 years into an organisation that plugs directly into what the web can and will become. We see the Festival as an opportunity to draw as many interested people as possible into the conversation about what tech can do.

And it’s not just about tech. It’s about anyone and everyone interested in the possibilities the web has to offer, coming together and sharing their skills and expertise.

We want to move people from using the web to making the web.

Part of this move leverages new skills and attitudes. That’s why the Mozilla Festival focuses on small, peer-learning sessions. Another part of this move is about tools and content. That’s why we’re also excited about the sessions that explore the edges of the web and aim to build shared, viable solutions.

The sweet spot is in collaboration across skill-sets and in learning by making. Together.

-- Mark Surman, Executive Director of Mozilla

Where

The Mozilla Festival will be hosted at Ravensbourne, a wired media and design campus located in East London next to the O2 concert arena. It spans nine floors, combining maker labs with impromptu classrooms and bleeding-edge tech.

How

We’re replacing darkened lecture halls with nine floors of maker labs bursting with passionate people — all building and teaching the web in real time. To make this work, we need people of all different skills and persuasions.

Goals

Make things with the tools Mozilla and others are creating.
Learn who is building what, how we can share and help each other.
Imagine making in 100 years: what future are we building?
Design the things we want to build next, especially for mobile.
Fuel leaders who want to invent, teach and organize.

-=Mozilla Festival 2012: ReMo=
+The Mozilla Festival is a magnet for people interested in learning about – and playing with – the future of the web. Mozilla has grown over the past 15 years into an organisation that plugs directly into what the web can and will become. We see the Festival as an opportunity to draw as many interested people as possible into the conversation about what tech can do.
-'''A yearly festival with hundreds of passionate people exploring the Web, learning together, and making things that can change the world.'''
+And it’s not just about tech. It’s about anyone and everyone interested in the possibilities the web has to offer, coming together and sharing their skills and expertise.
-Making, Freedom and the Web<br>
+We want to move people from using the web to making the web.
-November 9 - 11, 2012 | #mozfest <br>
-London, UK | Ravensbourne <br>
-==ReMo Roles==
+Part of this move leverages new skills and attitudes. That’s why the Mozilla Festival focuses on small, peer-learning sessions. Another part of this move is about tools and content. That’s why we’re also excited about the sessions that explore the edges of the web and aim to build shared, viable solutions.

-A facilitator should be someone who is looking to run a session or two but primarily focus on being a Mozilla Rep, and help with other roles rather than a session leader at the festival. For more information on running sessions please see [[Festival2012/Submit | Mozilla Festival 2012: Submit a Proposal]]. A ReMo Facilitator should also attend sessions that are related to their skill sets and help the session leader as much as possible, encourage those attending sessions to continue contributing after the festival, and hopefully contribute to Mozilla as well.
