The Grant for the Web Program team is hosting a Community Call to discuss our plans for the upcoming Mozilla Festival and how to participate. We know the Grant for the Web community has been awaiting an opportunity to experiment with new Web Monetization features. Finally, we have our chance! In partnership with Mozilla and Coil, we are excited to host a MozFest-wide experiment in tipping!

MozFest is fully virtual this year, and all ticket holders (last year there were 10,000+) will be given a free Coil account, prepopulated with $10 USD of credits that can be used to stream micropayments and to tip in $1 increments. Our aim is to use these peer-to-peer payments across the festival to introduce attendees to Interledger and Web Monetization technology while supporting resources benefitting the free and open web.ve a

We will have a note taking document here

Note: The meeting will be recorded and an open public notetaking document will be shared.

Agenda:

• Opening: People share past experiences or current involvement in MozFest (Volunteer/Popcorn style)
• What we are doing: Frame the Grand MozFest WM Experiment
• How the upgraded Coil accounts will work
• What we are doing and have available at MozFest
• Using the Web Montization Community Space as a MozFest auxiliary site
• Gradual Tool and planning Emergent Sessions
• How you can help/participate (Chris - 5 Min)
• Questions and Discussion (As needed)

We will discuss:

• Details on how to participate in the tipping beta
• How you can make sure your content and projects can participate and be available for tips from MozFest Participants
• How to help advocate and talk tom others about Web Monetization and your projects

Before Community Call you might want to:

• Get a ticket: The best way to join the experiment is to get a MozFest ticket. This gets you on the mailing list for the Coil accounts with tipping. Tickets are ‘Pay what you can’. Feel free to use award funds to purchase a ticket, and if you are unable to contribute much at this time, know that the Interledger Foundation is supporting the festival as a top-level sponsor.
• See examples of project content featured last year
• Let the Program Team know if you are currently involved in MozFest in another capacity

This call will be an hour and will take place on Zoom. We acknowledge that for a global community this time may not be friendly to all timezones so we will be recording the call to share and commit to moving these monthly meetings to different times going forward.
