TOPIC 1 - Developing Participation Leaders (George) - 15min

  • Investing in a cohort of participation leaders
  • prep call with selected leaders , setting goals , building content
  • select participation leader ho commit to one strategic area
  • Mozfest Nov 6-8 London
  • Leadership Summit - Nov 20-22 TBD
  • Work Week - Dec. 7-11 Orlado
  • 150 participation leaders by the end of the year: have increased their knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to grow the impact of participation across Mozilla in 2016, are aligned with and have contributed to Mozillaā€™s vision and strategy, and who will champion this with Mozillians and others, have created and committed to specific plans for growing the impact of participation and contributing to Mozilla in 2016, aligned with the organizationā€™s goals and priorities
  • Selection process that is consistent. Application will require:
    ** Mozillians.org username (vouches will be used as ā€œreferencesā€ for evaluating application)
    ** Answers to a series of open-ended questions
    Question for you to consider:
  1. Whatā€™s unclear? What questions do you have?
  • How will the application be promoted? (outreach strategy)
    ** blogs, mailing list, community mailing lists, Monday call (ask staff who have very involved contributors to share application process), Co-ordinate with Webmaker
  1. What ideas do you have to make this stronger?
  2. What concerns do you have with this initiative? *
  3. What concerns would you have with the application/selection process?
    Q: Not a question, but I love this. Really relevant to the three categories Iā€™ve volunteers Iā€™ve been pushing in everything Iā€™ve been working on.
    Q: Will this be related to the Tech Speakers Pilot program in any way or are these completely separate?
    A: here will be a talk with Havi
    Q: One form, but is the timeline the same for all 3? If Iā€™m not accepted for one, but feel I could also have applied for another, can I still do that ?
    A: this will be discussed more as at the moment was not considered. * maybe use a preference list: 1), 2), 3)
    Q: Using vouches seems very problematic. There are no dates on vouches. Also this is going to make some profiles very big. There is a different site out there called ā€œgeeklistā€ which seems like it provides the same functionality that weā€™re asking to use the Mozillians page for +1
    A: Good to stay on Mozillians, just Mozillians doesnā€™t seem to be built for this yet!
