MozCampEU2012/ProposedTalks

MozCamp Format

For MozCamp Europe, we're evolving the format from presentation-based conference to an interactive camp featuring tracks, workshops, sprints, and hacking opportunities with clear deliverables + goals to achieve by the end of the weekend.

For a list of our MozCamp goals, please see here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCampEU2012/Tracks

With this new format, we ask that at least 40% of each presentation be an interactive activity which results in an outcome or deliverable which furthers these goals. This activity can take many forms. Examples include:

• Tutorial on how to contribute to B2G
• Code of Conduct Discussion
• Workshop on how to recruit HTML5 developers
• Apps Brainstorm + Creation Sprint

Ways to Participate in MozCamp

There are two key ways in which an individual can participate in MozCamp:

1. Host a Session

2. Join the onsite team to help support and run the event

How to Propose a Session

1. Review the MozCamp goals, tracks, and sessions that we're on the lookout for here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozCampEU2012/Tracks

2. Make your proposal compelling by being able to illustrate in your wiki page how the content of your session will help accomplish the larger MozCamp goals.

3. Decide on the ideal length of your session. Proposals will be considered for sessions of 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes (with exceptions for shorter workshops and sprints).

4. Decide the track in which your session would best belong. The MozCamp are as follows:

• Apps + B2G

• Mobile + Desktop

• Grow Mozilla

5. Create a wiki page (according to the format listed below) and post the link to this wiki page under the track in which you would anticipate giving your talk.

NOTE: You attendance at MozCamp Europe is dependent on your completion of a wiki page. All wiki pages must be linked to the appropriate track under "List of Participation Proposals" by JULY 26th. It should take you ~5 minutes to complete the wiki page.
