Hi Everyone, Quite some time ago now, the Mozilla Spaces initiative was launched - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/mozilla-spaces/ - though I'm not sure where the program is now.
I am lucky enough to live in a city with a Mozilla Space, but it would be nice to have some more formal processes and guidelines for having community events in the space. Not just in terms of booking the space, but also in terms of how to properly use the space, keep it clean, what areas need to be secured how, etc. This also ties in with the conversation we had a little while back about community calendars and team weeks, I think this is in the works, but being able to see a calendar of public events (and unavailable when private events are on) would be a really nice initiative tied to these spaces. I also want to suggest that to put these spaces to the best use possible that there could be an assistant to the office manager to help book the space, be available during events to help out as well as to evangelize Mozilla to non-Mozilla groups using the space, follow-up on events in any way that makes sense. This person could also be the community liason. Recently students at UofT came out our FirefoxOs App day and they had several ideas for events and projects they wanted to run with Mozilla. Eventually I had to get them in touch with someone in California to plan one of the events. So great that they were able to connect, but it would have been even better if they had someone to contact sooner, and had a point person in the Toronto office to help them plan and get in touch with the right people to support the event. Also when this project was first announced Reps had the great idea to have Mozilla affiliated spaces, eg hackerspace.gr where local Mozillians can have their own events, keep Mozilla related materials posted etc. in cities that don't have an official Mozilla presence. It would be great to discuss and organize ways the community can put these spaces to use, support and expand on the program. - Majken "Kensie" Connor _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
