From MozillaWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

What is it? -- multiple work weeks, happening in the same city, at the same time + some opportunity to get together as one big group as well as with other teams as it makes sense. Then, on the last day, we have a fun social event for all, Mozilla-style!

Dates, Location and Weather

Monday, June 22 - Friday, June 26, 2015 (travel days are Monday & Saturday*) in Whistler, British Columbia, CANADA (various venues, all within Whistler Village)

*For those countries where rest time is required on weekends (vs. work travel), Mozilla will cover a return on the next available work day, if you choose.

Weather

Averages temperatures range from lows of 48 fahrenheit (9 celsius) to 70 fahrenheit (21 celsius). It can/will rain and will be cool (especially Friday night). Bring layers.

Travel

Travel booking will begin by the end of March for staff. For Whistler, most paid staff will book their own travel through Egencia (we're setting up a "meeting view" inside of Egencia which will make life simpler for all).

EXCEPTIONS:

  • Staff in our Taipei office, will use their own corporate travel agent, Swire.
