Hello,
Hope you're well. Last year the Mozilla Uganda community embarked on an
initiative to bring a learning, collaborative and maker experience inspired
by the annual Mozilla Festival in London to East Africa; to use it to
inspire people to create solutions to the challenges East Africa is
currently facing with the help of the web and open technologies. We have
grown since 2013 until now, developing scalable and participatory events,
MozFestEA is our prime event that shows our achievements and our steps
towards the Mozilla Vision.
This year MEA'15 is to take place on July 17th - 19th, 2015 at Victoria
University, Kampala - Uganda. We have broadened our spectrum to include
more participants from Africa, we have partnered with the JamLab team from
Kenya, the MozFest London team, Global Rising Voices, Mozilla Foundation
and a few others to help us plan for an amazing regional event.
We would love to reach out to all Mozillians and those out there that can
help us build amazing solutions in 3 days; we will have both physical and
virtual participation and kindly request most of you to register (more
details on this will be communicated on virtual participation, including
how larger community gatherings can participate).
If you wish to attend, we request that you please submit a proposal for a
session or register to attend.
You could also become an MEA Hero, these are people who are volunteering to
help us out with the event from wherever they're in the world, even if it's
just blogging about the event, posting on social media or telling people
about our virtual participation. Reach out to us if you're interested,
you'll fill a short form that will enable us to track your contribution and
after the event we'll offer you a digital certificate of appreciation or
badge and our gratitude.
We need your support, please help us spread the word on twitter
(@mozfestea) and on Facebook.com/mozfestea
Please check the mozfestea.org website for more information and direct any
queries to in...@mozfestea.org
Thank you.
*PS:* This media article also sums up the event pretty well:
