What will happen in your session?

Both Mozilla and Open Source are celebrating their 20th Anniversary in 2018.

As a way to collect and preserve open source stories, the Open Source Initiative has launched Opensource.net, inviting open source projects from around the world to highlight their significant accomplishments and milestones by sharing text, images, and video through an interactive timeline.

During MozFest, we'll work together with participants to build the timelines, either personal stories from these individuals or from their favorite open source projects.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

We hope that participants will be interested in building and sharing these milestones.

For a few examples of milestones that have already been created:

More adventurous participants are welcome to develop new ways to create and display these timelines. For example:

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

Our application works on a smartphone, but a projector or large-screen TV is welcome.

If possible, we would also like to hang a printed timeline, where individuals can use post-its to share their open source milestones.

We'll work together with the Mozilla Foundation to create their timeline.

Time needed

All weekend, as an installation, exhibit or drop-in session

Hey @nickvidal & @webmink! I'm one of the Openness wranglers team. We're still in the process of reviewing sessions, and we were wondering - if your session is eventually accepted, would you be willing/able to deliver in a shorter slot (e.g. 60 or 90 minute) rather than all weekend?

Background reason for asking: Lots of sessions have asked for all weekend slots, but our physical space is finite. If some sessions are able to run shorter we may be able to fit more in! 🦄

Hi Yo,

Yes, a shorter slot would be fine. We appreciate your consideration!

Thanks, Nick

Hi! I need to book my travel and won't have the space to be in London for the duration given this is now just a session. Can you give me some guidance on when I need to be there please? Many thanks!
