The Vieilles Charrues festival is the biggest music festival in France, which takes place in the heart of Brittany and attracts more than 200,000 people every year. This edition brought world-famous rock stars like Bruce Springsteen, Lenny Kravitz, Moby, Placebo and.... Firefox.

The beloved browser had its own place in a tent shared with the Ubuntu team, called the Mozilla Web Cafe. In it there were computers, Wi-Fi and Firefox, where festival-goers could surf the web, get swag and meet the community. Every hour approximately 250 people visited the Mozilla Web Cafe for 3 days of festival.
Besides telling people about how awesome Firefox is, we also wanted to share information about the Mozilla Project and the mission. For this, we printed the Mozilla brochure, which contains all the important information about the project, the organization and the technology. We also gave out a lot of buttons, neckstraps and tattoos, took pictures and made some cool videos, which we will soon share with you.

A big thanks to the festival organizers for inviting us to promote the Open Web and Open Source at the festival. A special hat-tip to Greg Coustenoble, Kevin Hinault, and Sonny Piers for manning the booth during 3 fun-filled and exhausting days
You guys ROCK !!!
