Mozillian Marathon for Charity

[Benjamin Kerensa]

I wanted to pitch the idea of a Mozillian Work Marathon where participants work for 24 hours straight without sleep and we encourage people to donate to various causes for each participant.

This idea steams from a marathon Canonical is doing http://marathon.ubuntuonair.com


I would be up to working for 24 hours straight :)

Anyone interested? It would be webcast on Google Hangout on Air

Nice idea. We could make it a Firefox OS app marathon.

Having done a 48-hour long hackathon before, and even more, it was about
Firefox OS apps, you can count me in.

Cheers,
Alex

What if we changed this slightly for a week?
We can find a suitable name for the program, ex: Mozilla Community Fund
Raising Week..

Its more efficient if you could available for few days instead of few hours
for your own time zone.
And also you can't expect people to be online that particular day even you
already informed/advertised.
Sone one can participate full week or selected dates, event during the week


Just consider above suggestion :)

Good luck for the program!

Benjamin,

I like the idea of donating to various causes for each participant - could you explain more about what you're thinking here? Perhaps we could include MoFo in the mix?

Cool idea!

Not sure if we're pursuing the Firefox Giving Challenge again, but if so, might be a fun tie in. The JS Team raised a bunch of money last year through it :)

I just had a thought that I might as well throw out there:

What if people were to work on *other* FLOSS projects, raising money for
Mozilla?

The idea is a 24-hour marathon with no regard to timezones for participants in the Canonical example each person on that team is in a different timezone multiple U.S. time zones and multiple european. Plus I think people loving the idea of watching people work for 24 hours straight.

if you could rework it to mean continuous work by a team (rather than an
individual working 24 hours), I would be in . Not that I don't want to,
but as a parent... it simply wouldn't work. I always like the global
aspect of Mozilla and Reps - partnerships across the globe to cover 24
hours would add meaning that simple exhaustion by a single person might
not. My thoughts anyway.

[Benjamin Kerensa]

I am liking this idea but thinking multiple days with people tagging in on shifts since some Mozillians cannot do 24 hours straight.
