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.

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.

Roadmap

Pre-launch: March

Project Tools

  • web site: hackasaurus.org
  • X-ray Goggles: See what the web is made of. Mess around & remix. 
  • HTML Pad (aka "Magic Ink"): A simple website that allows anyone to easily create a Web page, collaborate on it in real-time with friends, and share it with the rest of the world.  More background for HTMLPad can be found in Atul's blog post entitled Prelude To Barcelona.
