I think some people (especially the Japanese media) are misunderstanding the concept of Mozilla 24.
http://ascii.jp/elem/000/000/041/41896/index.html
In this article from ASCII.jp, which is pretty well respected IT/tech news media in Japan, the article mainly discusses the way in which people (developers) interact for Apple, Google, and Microsoft.
Mozilla 24 is compared to the likes of WWDC and Google Developer's Day's... which is pretty awesome thing as it is but kind of NOT true.
It is my personal impression that people at Mozilla Japan who organized (organizing) wants to make it more like "Open Source Festival" ("Omatsuri" was the Japanese word that was used) to shore up more interest and support for Firefox and Open Source in general.
Mozilla Japan already had a Developer's Conference yesterday (see my previous post) so it is incorrect to say the following (a quote from 2nd page of the article mentioned above)
"この秋、モジラが開催を予定している“Mozilla24”という開発者会議。" (translation: "this autumn, Mozilla is planning to organize a developer's conference called 'Mozilla 24'")
Well it is a good thing that Mozilla 24 is getting some media coverage but I hope more people understand that the Mozilla 24 is more about community, people and having fun!

Mozilla Developer Conference Summer 2007
Right at this moment, I am taking a part in the Mozilla Developer Conference.
This is mostly technical "developer conference" but I think it will be a good "practice" for the Mozilla 24 event that's coming up in September.
some facts that was of interest to me:
-people from Google were here to talk about using Google API
-everyone at Mozilla (at least in US) gets a mac (macbook pro it seems like)
-but the presentation software used by Mozilla people only run on windows, hense the use of parallels!
-audience was majority non-mac users, some let's note and some dell etc.
-introduced myself to Mike Shaver! (co-founder of Mozilla project) cool!
well it's a pretty cool event, it made me look forward to Mozilla 24! kinda weird to compare Mozilla 24 to WWDC or the Google Developer Day though.

Mozilla Japan Office direction
This is just for private use:
モジラジャパンオフィスへの行き方：
ちっちゃなビルの３階なので、ちょっと分かりにくいかもしれません。
http://www.mozilla-japan.org/contact/office/
場所は東京メトロ有楽町線 麹町駅 3 番出口から出てすぐです。でも地下鉄は高いし乗り継ぎにくいしキライですw
ICUから行くのであればJR四谷駅が最寄りの駅です。道順はそこそこカンタン、普通にあるいて１０分以内で着きます（迷わなければ！）
僕は一回下見に行ったので道順とその写真を載せときます。
１）まずJR四谷駅の麹町口改札で降りる。
２）改札を出て右に行き、階段を登る。
３）階段を登りきったら、そのまま真っすぐ歩く。上智大学側じゃない方の歩道です。
４）ずっと歩く。だいたい７分ぐらい？
５）「登龍」という中華料理のレストランがあるところで左に曲がる。
６）すぐ右手にドトールがあるのでそこにある道に入る。
THE END:
“「居酒屋おぅき〜どぅき〜」が見えます。そのビルに入り、エレベーターで 3 階に上がってください。”（モジラジャパンのwebsiteより、写真も）

じゃみなさん５月１１日の７時ですよ〜
ちょっと前に四谷駅で待ち合わせてみんなでいきませんか？
see you there:)

Mozilla 24
I've been fortunate enough to get involved with a project called Mozilla 24, which will take place in September 15th and 16th.
http://www.mozilla24.com/
I will be a part of team of volunteer interpreters from International Christian University (ICU, the school I currently attend), we will be doing various interpreting tasks at the Mozilla 24 event.
I am pretty excited about this opportunity to get involved with Open Source movement and with Mozilla, since I'm a big fan of Firefox web browser!
