This is a draft, don't rely on any of this information just yet

Role

For each combination of a particular locale (en-US, pl, de, etc) and product (Firefox, Thunderbird, Toolkit, (SeaMonkey is a little special for now)), Mozilla requests an owner. This has nothing to do with someone owning stuff, but is a project management role. The owner role includes the following tasks, among others:

  • default owner of bugs,
  • key spokesperson in communications between the Mozilla project and the localization, or the specific part of the localization,
  • team leadership internal to the l10n team in question, in the particular area.

As you can tell by now, Owners are much more holding responsibility than ownership. It's just that owner is a prettier nown. We assume that owners will follow the Mozilla way of doing project management, shortly put iron fist in velvet glove.

Other obligations

CVS

Owners have CVS write access to the l10n repository.

Following announcements

Mozilla assumes that all owners follow the communication in .l10n on a regular basis.

Firefox owners

Please look at L10n:Firefox Extras.

Trademarks

Owners should have read and understood the trademarks documents. And of course follow them.

Communication with Mozilla Foundation

Every L10N team has to keep communication with Mozilla Foundation about big moves, changes, projects and situation inside the community/country. Overall, it would be good to have Mozilla Foundation up to date with your work and situation so Mozilla Foundation can choose how to help you. If you're in europe, you should keep in touch with Mozilla Europe, others should contact MLP in any case. This is extremly important in any case related to trademarks use, promotion etc. Locale team should not start new mozilla related webpage or campaign, without Mozilla Foundation agreement.

Peers

Every locale owner can choose his peers. He can choose as many peers as needed, but he is responsible for all their moves. Peer can reques CVS account and his owner should be his voucher.
