Mozilla Festival 2012 wants you!  

Coders, gamers, media-makers and educators from across the globe are gathering at Ravensbourne (next to The O2, Greenwich Peninsula) on 9-11 November for Mozilla Festival - a yearly celebration of learning and innovation, gathering passionate people to explore the web, learn together, and make things that can change the world.

“We want everyone to tap the full creative power of the web. The Mozilla Festival is a magnet for people interested in learning about and playing with the web’s future.” Mark Surman, Executive Director, Mozilla

This year’s Mozilla Festival will gather more than 800 passionate people with diverse backgrounds and skillsets, to push the frontiers of the open web and participate in a series of design challenges, learning labs and fireside chats. The emphasis this year is on hands-on making and collaboration.

“Technology is at the point where learners don’t just use the tools, but make the tools. This happens at places like the Mozilla Festival, where geeks and practitioners get together. Joi Ito, Mozilla Foundation Board Member, Director of MIT Media Lab
