What are Supporting Sessions?

Link to the general FAQ

Call for Facilitators

We need facilitators for the supporting sessions! Anyone can be a facilitator. Here is the list of sessions currently on the agenda for the Mozilla Summit 2013, with facilitators at each location. More information on expectations of facilitators can be found on the Session Facilitators wiki.

Each proposed session has its own etherpad for discussion and description, if you click through to it. Please add to that pad if you want to suggest specific questions to be addressed within the session.

Also note there will be open sessions on site which can be signed up for when we are at the summit, "Unconference" style. For more information about how to sign-up to host an open session, please see our FAQ.

How to Sign-up?

See a session that you would like to facilitate? If so, please place your name by the appropriate location next to the session (listed below) on this wiki page.

Friday

Ecosystems in our Image

Friday, 1-2:15, 2:45-4:00 (please note these sessions are run twice, therefore co-facilitation is recommended)

Track: Purpose and Strategy

Put practically and short term: how our values show up in the app ecosystem or social network (where the users are now). And, in the long term, how do our values show up in big data, internet of things and other upcoming ecosystems. What would it look like to build a mobile apps and content ecosystem based literally on the ideas in the Nature of Mozilla? What features and marketing approaches would you include? How would we most effectively balance building, teaching and shaping markets? Where do local communities fit in as part of building this? Can they help build a long tail app ecosystem where we really see local diversity?
