Getting to a Million Mozillians
Here are some tips and suggestions for people who are interested in learning more about bringing new contributors in to your project.
- Who: Your project doesn't have volunteers yet and you're interested in building a community around what you're doing.
- Read stories from existing Mozillians about how they first got involved with the project as volunteers
- Watch the Designing for participation workshop video (soon to be reshot into a more watchable series of short videos)
- Join the Grow Mozilla call and introduce yourself and meet other people involved with bringing people in to their projects.
Speakers
The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation. If you plan on showing a video, you need to contact the Air Mozilla team before the day of the meeting or you will be deferred to the next week.
