Let's celebrate 5 years of Firefox! 


Why do we party?
Five Years of Firefox is a huge accomplishment and we are amazed to be celebrating this huge milestone in our history.  We know you know how to party and we don't need to tell you how in an awkward video, so let's just take some time to have fun and reflect on everything we have accomplished.  Five years is the perfect excuse to meet up, spread the word, plan our next move and, of course, party down.

When do we party?
Celebrations should be planned starting November 9th and on—don’t worry, we’re not limited to any specific dates.

How and where do we party?
There should be Firefox parties all over the world. If you’re looking for one to attend, you can find and RSVP to gatherings in your area via <a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/event/2009/11/01/month/all/all/1">our calendar</a>.

We've celebrated major releases with thousands of parties all over the world, so we're also looking for volunteer party hosts to celebrate our Five Years of Firefox.  It's easy to sign up and we'll even send you some swag if <a href="http://bit.ly/fyfxswag">you ask nicely</a>   Please put in your request as soon as you can – supplies are limited.

Looking for a little inspiration?  Add a little bit of pizazz to your party and light the world with Firefox.  Here are a few ideas:

	•	Mash-Up
Think of the most interesting way you can combine Firefox and light.   For example, create the logo out of candles on a birthday cake or  program your very own lite brite! The more creative, the better.

	•	Spotlight
Borrow a projector and shine the Firefox logo on the wall during your  party, or make a logo stencil and place it in front of a flashlight  for a cool effect. Or, go crazy and get a searchlight to create your  very own Firefox "bat signal"!

	•	Mobile
Get the Firefox logo [link to come] on your phone and take a picture holding it in front of a local landmark. Or, organize a bunch of friends for a big group photo with the logo on everyone's phones.  You can also have people put Firefox on their phone to gain entry to your party.
Make sure to post a photo or video of your project to Flickr with the tag "Firefox5".
How do I host a party?
Just follow a few simple steps:
	•	Find a location — here are some ideas:
		◦	• Rec rooms at schools, universities or community centers
		◦	• Restaurants, cafes, bars or LANhouses
		◦	• Your company or your home
		◦	• Local parks and picnic areas
	•	Create an “invite” on Spread Firefox and/or a social network. You can start by <a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/add/event">posting your event on Spread Firefox<a/> (you’ll need to have a SFx account & be logged in!)
	•	Promote your party by:
		◦	• Telling friends
		◦	• Adding it to services like <a href="http://www.meetup.com">Meetup<a> & <a href="http://www.upcoming.yahoo.com">Upcoming</a>
		◦	• Writing about it on Twitter or identi.ca (use #Firefox5)
		◦	• Posting updates, creating events or sending invites via social networks
	•	Get some fun Firefox party favors (put <a href="http://bit.ly/fyfxswag">your request</a> in now!)
	•	Have people show up with a Firefox logo on their phone to get into your party!

Firefox can do a lot of cool things, but we’re most impressed by how it can bring people together. It’s time to party!

Couple of nits:

Very 1st sentence:  Five Years of Firefox is a huge accomplishment and we are amazed to be celebrating this huge milestone in our history. -->  Remove the second "huge" and replace with "amazing"

Second sentence:  We know you know how to party and we don't need to tell you how in an awkward video....change first part to:  "You know how to party and we don't need to tell you how in an awkward video..."

Under "mobile":  Remove [link to come] .  We'll just add this link in later this week.  There are also two periods here.  Please remove one :)

Thanks so much for doing this!

Made these changes - except for the 1st sentence because we would've had the word "amazing" twice.  So the first sentence is now:  


Five Years of Firefox is a huge accomplishment and we are amazed to be celebrating this milestone in our history.
