Mozilla.org is planning a Developer event March 1 and 2 at Carnegie Mellon
University. The location allows those on the East Coast of the U.S. and
Canada a chance to attend without paying New York city-like prices. Our facilities
are being provided by CMU (thanks to Kevin Lenzo, CMU Faculty Member and
President of Yet Another Society
), so we hope to keep the registration fee in the $50.00 range. More details
on this and related logistics will be provided in subsequent notices.
This message is intended to generate input from those who might attend. We're interested in knowing what would be of interest so we can finalize the schedule. If you're interested enough to fill out a simple survey, you'll find a link below. Please do not fill out the survey if you know you won't be coming.
Here's what we have in mind so far:
