Working group: Resources track

#Resources track

Owners: @faisalaziz @nukeador

##Problem statement

Reps are not getting personalized support in order for them to be able to have the biggest impact possible while developing themselves personally and professionally. Reps have very different interests and skills and the program has been optimized over the past years for events and budgets. Most changes to the portal, SOPs and time from Reps, mentors and Council have been devoted to this. While events and budget have been crucial for the program, we need to better support Reps interested in other areas.

##Goal

Create a specialization on resources for Reps who wish to empower their communities (be it local/regional or functional) by enabling them take advantage of the resources the Reps program has.

Reps that specialize in Resources are trained to help communities and Reps plan strategically how they use resources. Ensuring that resources (budget and others) of the program are used in the most impactful way and according to the guidance provided by Mozilla’s strategy and the Council.

Could you give some examples on resources that are in the scope of this track?

Budget, swag, servers, hardware, and any other physical stuff we can think it’s needed for mozillians…

It seems next Tuesday at 13:00UTC is winning right now. Let’s give 24h more to decide and I’ll send an invite to meet over vidyo.

Cheers.

Reminder: We are meeting in 20 minutes :wink:

Sorry, I’m tavelling. Though I can hear you but can not talk with you.

My thoughts on that, Mozillians are very exited about project and event. They want do many things, expacting lot from Mozilla. What we need to do, train them about balancing their expactions with the impact and amount of recources.

I’ll update with extended notes here soon + a github issue for tracking

So basically in today’s meeting we reviewed the pending actions from last Tuesday and discuss a lot about details and open questions.

We are documenting all track description details in this document and we want to have a draft to share by Friday.

Hey @nukeador

I saw there is a need to know the list of sub-communities in India. We have updated it in WIKI. Please check
https://wiki.mozilla.org/India#Local_Communities

Thank you

The initial draft with the implementation details is ready for review.

Now we’ll ask everyone to add your comments/feedback to it. This doc will be also sent to Council for review.

Hi everyone,

We would like to move this to Council final review and approval this week.

This is a reminder to chime in the doc before Thursday (EOD) and provide feedback as soon as possible.

Thanks!

I’m moving this now to Council for final review + approval.

Thanks everyone involved!
