MozFest Space Contributors 2016 Application

Mozillians
#10

Quick reminder:
Registration closes this next Monday August 1st.

Some remarks:

  • This process is completely independent from the Talk Proposals. If your proposal is accepted, that doesn’t mean that you will be automatically selected through this process.
  • This call is for volunteering at the spaces (we will assign you to a maximum of 2 spaces). It requires commitment and attend some meetings prior to Mozfest. That’s the reason we are asking skills.
  • We will try to publish selected persons by the end of that week (August 5th), so we have enough time to process visas (if needed)
  • Participation team doesn’t have a vote on the Talk Proposals, if you have any inquiry about that, please contact the organization or the space owner. If your proposal is accepted, please check what’s covered by each space.
  • Space Volunteers will be sponsored for travel, accommodation and visa fees.

If you have any other inquiry, don’t hesitate to send me an email, or reply in this thread.

Hi Franc / Brian,

I want to know the significance of proposal submission with this application. Actually I am still pondering upon proposing a session for MozFest, do you recommend filling this application only after proposing my session?

Thanks,
Ram

Hello @ram1,

As it says in this post: talk proposal is completely independent from Space Volunteer application. If you got your talk accepted, that doesn’t mean that you will be automatically selected as Space Volunteer. These are two completely different processes.

Kind regards,

Hi Franc,

  1. Basically my question was - why does this application form ask if we
    have submitted a proposal or not (as both of these are completely separate
    processes).

  2. I have not proposed a session in MozFest but I will propose one in a day
    or two. Should I submit this application form only after proposing the
    session?

Thanks,
Ram

Because we want to know if you submit something or not. It doesn’t add points, or give you more chances to get selected, it’s an informative thing only.

Whatever you prefer, in the end, we will be able to see if you submit something, since it’s on github, and we share the lists. Again, if you submit a proposal, it won’t give more credits, or add points to your application for Space Volunteer. The only thing is that you will have to be conscious that Space Volunteers are requested to commit to stay at the Space a certain amount of time (that will depend on each space), so it’s not a sponsoring to attend the event.

Hope this clarify a little.

Regards,

Hello everyone,

I’ve closed the application form last night, as it was stipulated on this thread.

We’ve received an amazing amount of applications, there are more than 200 mozillians that applied. Since the amount exceeded our expectations, we might need a couple of days more to announce the selected mozillians for this event. So stay tuned for any update.

The selection process will be based on:

  • Skills
  • Roles requested
  • Goals
  • Gender
  • Region

Participation team, and Space Wranglers will be the people that will vote based on this criteria, so if you have any inquiry, don’t hesitate to send me an email.

Regards,

Hello all,

After a tough and thoughtful selection process, with more than 200 great applications from all over the world, we are happy to announce that we have a final list of 21 volunteers that will be helping at the different Spaces at Mozfest.

The selection process was based on:

  • Skills
  • Roles
  • Goals
  • Gender
  • Region

The Spaces Wranglers also voted, and after a cross-checking between our votes, their votes and the roles we need, here you have the final list of volunteers:

They will be receiving an email from the Participation team to inform next steps and how to complete their registration for Mozfest. Please note that those who applied also for a talk proposal doesn’t mean that it will be automatically accepted. Proposals accepted will be announced at the beginning of September.

For those who wants to congratulate them, please do it in this thread.
If you want to make any inquiry, do not hesitate to contact me by email.

Kind regards,
Francisco.-
