At the Open Knowledge Foundation we love festivals – and attending is just half of the fun, we really like making things happen.
So as soon as our friends over at Mozilla started building up their fabulous Mozilla Festival we decided to roll up our sleeves and join the party!

Mozilla Festival will take place in London (UK) on October 25th-27th. A big group from our team (who? Read on to know more about it) will head over and spread all around town for the duration.
Our calendar:
