As announced on this list, the event will bring together 500 participants from around the world to London from November 4-6, 2011: http://mzl.la/festivaldate The position requires a seasoned event organizer with an entrepreneurial spirit who will seek out opportunities to maximize impact while limitingcosts, negotiate in Mozilla's interest, communicate regularly and clearly with team members and vendors, and thrive in an experimental and sometimes unpredictable framework. The position is London-based. It is part-time with an increasing time commitment as the festival nears. A background in organizing technology- and/or media-related events a huge bonus (don't have to tell this group). ^_^ * * I'm attaching the job description, and there is more info below on how to apply. If you think you fit the bill, or know someone who does, please get in touch! Best, // michelle How to apply: Considering the scope of this project, we'd like to learn more about your organizing style and your vision for the event. Please submit a short project proposal, elaborating on the questions you would tackle and the steps you would take to ensure the event goes smoothly. In short, we would love you to tell us the story of how you might co-organize the 2011 Mozilla Festival and hold down the local organizing responsibilities. Please submit to us by Wednesday, June 29 a 3-5 page summary of how you would like to drive the local event organizing for the festival. Longer formats are discouraged, as our objective is to get a sense of your approach rather than all the details. There will be plenty of time to sort the latter out later. ^_^ The proposal should include: - An overview of your event organizing methodology and philosophy - A notional timeline with key milestones between now and early November - An outline of resources needed to support realizing the same - A projected budget for your services, based on your hourly rate and including any direct costs you anticipate needing to support your own event organizing efforts - Your CV - A list of similar or relevant events you have organized or otherwise helped to realize. - 2-3 references of clients for whom you have organized events or related projects For reference, you can find the job description attached and more information about the festival here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Festival2011 Please email your proposal to [email protected] if you are serious and interested. _______________________________________________ community-drumbeat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/community-drumbeat -- Co-Founder, Open Knowledge Foundation Promoting Open Knowledge in a Digital Age http://www.okfn.org/ - http://blog.okfn.org/ _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss
