I’ve been wondering for a while if we could have some event in Vienna, but I don’t even know anyone from the community who’d be around here. We had a pretty nice Mozilla 1.0 party back in the old days, but since then there’s been nothing – not even a single Firefox party!
I largely assume this is because us people here don’t even know each other, I’m pretty sure there are actually Mozilla people somewhere in Austria…

I like the idea of having regional Mozilla events, especially as we try to build out our QA community. Once we get the QMO portal launched I hoped to be able to track where folks are located so we can think about having events in their region that are more informal. I liked the old school Dev Days where there wasn’t a formal agenda – everyone just came, we ate pizza and people did demos and stuff.

localizer groups also seem to meet up regularly and a lot happens in those. i am thinking about the polish team, for instance. not only are they focusing on localizing, they are also writing translation tools, creating a database of polish extensions, testing, doing marketing events, and more i am sure. they meet regularly and i have a feeling that a lot of the teams are doing this. might be another place to start.
