HI Everyone,
The Mozilla Webmaker(1) program helps teach people how to contribute to the web. One component of this is Webmaker parties. Anyone can hold a Webmaker party to teach people how to use tools to contribute to the web. In discussion with Mozilla they would be excited for HOT to join and OSM to be a component of these parties. This possible partnership was originally brought up during the last Communications Working Group meeting and we wanted to first reach out to you the HOT community and see what you think. This would bring HOT and OSM to a new audience and give us a great venue for introducing OSM to new contributors. What are your thoughts? If you are interested in this activity, we will ask you to provide a clear plan with location, time and date. We will in turn as for the Mozilla community support. They will provide some degree of outreach on our behalf, but we should be prepared for activities for events online or in person to have a 'host' and some degree of 'teaching and sharing support'. (This programme goes until September 15, 2014.) Thank you, HOT Communications Working Group (1) https://webmaker.org/ Heather Leson [email protected] Twitter: HeatherLeson Blog: textontechs.com
