(Jennie) Creating impact and soliciting support for testdays

evaluate your communication channels for effectiveness
evaluate communication channels you aren't using, OpenHatch for instance
audit who you're trying to reach and what skills you need
getting support from staff is a different problem to solve than getting support from contributors
weekly events can have deminishing returns
try holding a local event
try reducing frequency to once per month
be very aware of why the event is needed, how it benefits contributors, how contributors will be recognized (tshirt, meeting mentions, meeting invites), how you're encouraging people to come back, how you're integrating participants into the general QA org
focus on getting contributors with specific skill sets, not having a lot of contributors
develop a comms plan for hosting an event
identify reps who are willing to support running local events
KEY is identifying how you plan to recognize, reward, and integrate participants

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute - we should be feeding QA events and contributor callouts to this page
Conduct an audit of the program, swat analysis then analyze how to build from there and a timeline
Jennie is willing to try running a local event, so is Gaby
Reps reaching out to reps works better than staff reaching out to reps a lot of the time
