Mozilla Developer Event at Carnegie Mellon University March 1 and 2
Mitchell Baker
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
<http://www.yetanother.org/> ), 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:
* State of Mozilla talk by Mitchell Baker. The focus of this talk
will be those things other than code that make up Project
activities.
* Mozilla 1.0 Update by Peter Bojanic. Peter is a mozilla.org staff
associate member, and is actively involved with in getting
Mozilla 1.0 completed.
* Calendar functionality for Mozilla by Mike Potter. Mike Potter is
a developer and the maintainer of Mozilla's Calendar
functionality, which was contributed to Mozilla by OEone
<http://www.oeone.com>. This is an excellent opportunity
for those interested in contributing to Calendar to talk with
initial developers.
* Mozilla Community Activities by David Boswell. David is a
co-founder and maintainer of mozdev.org <http://www.mozdev.org>.
* Scott Collins, XPCOM and strings hacker as well as mozilla.org
staff member, will attend and can speak on a range of technical
issues
* Frank Hecker, mozilla.org staff Policy Wonk will also be in
attendance, we'll see what's on his mind.
* A second Business Forum/ Project Management discussion by Mitchell
Baker and/or Frank Hecker
* Mingling, demos, birds of a feather
* We hope to have a discussion of Post 1.0 Topics/Issues, we're
thinking about who would be a good presenter for this.
* We're contemplating a tutorial or advanced discussion of a piece
of Mozilla functionality, but need to determine interest level
and potential presenters.
