Prepping for May 15 blastoff. We’re working up to a big public announcement around Mozilla’s upcoming summer campaign. D-day is Tuesday, May 15. The party itself will kick off June 23.

Mozilla’s Summer Code Party: June 23 – Sep 23

• What? MEET up, MAKE something cool and LEARN how the code behind the web works.
• When? June 23 – Sep 23, kicking off with a Global Weekend of Code.
• Where? Anywhere. Your kitchen table. Your office. Your local library.
• Why? We believe everyone should know how to create and code on the web.
• How? Organize a meet-up. Volunteer to teach. Or become a partner.

Pre-flight checklist:

• Wiki: check out the Summer Code Party wiki.
• Communications: finalizing copy and messaging for the May 15 announcement, including press outreach.
• Partners: recruiting is in progress. Tumblr, CoderDojo and many others are on board, with lots more on the way. Join us.
• Events platform: In development, targeted for first phase release May 15. Will allow people to search for and add their own teach-ins, meet-ups and events.
• Get involved: Sign-up for reminders and updates.
