Welcome to the Openness Space
We probably won’t have cookies, but we will welcome everyone!
MozFest call for submissions will remain open for only a few days (deadline at August 1st), but there is still plenty of time for you to send us your proposal, so for for it! Now, if you are still kind of lost about the festival’s spaces or even feeling uncertain if MozFest is really for you, come with me for a while as I talk about the Openness Space.
Mozilla Festival is about an open and healthy internet for everyone, and at a first glance this might sound like something very specific for tech related people… But I can assure you that it is much more than that! Yes, the Openness Space is indeed the place for people who want to promote, discuss and learn about Open Source software — but hey, it is also the place for everyone interesting in Open Science! Yep, we will probably have an Open Hardware session: but they might as well happen at the same time as an Open Journalism one.
The bottom line here is that our space is designed to welcome people from many different disciplines and experience levels. In fact, we actually want the most diverse group of facilitators we can get! Our goal is to build a space that gathers and connect people interested in working open on the internet across many different disciplines, from software and hardware to education, research, journalism, and politics. This will be a fantastic group from a diverse set of backgrounds, but with a common goal: to discuss how sharing and collaborating openly on the internet can help our work, and how we can do that in a safe and effective way.
If that sounds cool for you, submit your session and and join us!
