Started in April 2000. The gathering has become an annual party. This year is the fifth mozilla.party.jp.
原文の「2000年4月からはじまって、すっかり恒例となりました、５回目の mozilla.party.jp。」は、日本語独特の構文で、英訳しにくい所だと思います。
とは言え、少なくとも三つ目のセンテンスで、"This year" と "the fifth mozilla.party.jp" を "is" で結ぶのは英語的に NG ではないかと。あえて修正するなら、"This year, it is the fifth mozilla.party.jp." とかでしょう。
全文の修正候補としては；
"We proudly announce the fifth mozilla.party.jp, which you might know well cause it's an annual party since April, 2000."
少々硬めの英文ですが、そこは tomomi さんに校閲希望ということで

In front of JR Sendagaya Station
間違いではないと思いますが、"In front of" を使うかなー、という疑問があります。地図もある事ですし、"Near the JR Sendagaya Station" あたりで逃げるのが吉では？
