The following is a summary of the information gathered about Mozilla’s 2008 Summit in Vancouver. We polled all participants to get a sense of the conference content and organization. Here are some results and charts summarizing our findings.
Summit Data
- Location: 90.3% responded that it was 4 to 5 (scale: 1 – bad, 5 – great)
- Communication: 82.3% rated communication about the summit at 4-5; 14.2% rated it as 3 (scale: 1-poor, 5-excellent)
- Conference facilities: 91.4% rated the conference facilities 4 to 5 (scale: 1 – bad, 5 – great)
- Break out Sessions: 67.5% felt it was about right

Here are some charts to review as well that help illustrate some answers to the questions.
We also have all the “fill-in-the-blank” style answers to the open-ended questions. We can post those in another entry, but we decided to keep them out of this post to help keep the length appropriate. We’ll post that information later.
How do Summit participants get selected ?
Sankarshan, it’s a little bit different each time. This time we reached out to the owners of all the different areas and asked them for nominations. We had a top limit based on the availability of space at the summit hotel and conference rooms. We also biased heavily towards getting at least one person from all of the Firefox 3 shipping locales — something that we didn’t do at previous Summits.
