Statement

The education/culture track will build an action plan around curricula, tools and programs both (1) to support staff in learning to work in the open and support volunteer contributors, and also what curriculum, tools and programs are needed (2) to support volunteers in becoming active/core contributors.

How to

Three axes were identified:

• Broaden: Assess and inform the status of Mozilla's diversity and levels of openness. Advise on actions to broaden participation in the project.
• Share: Promote "default open" by indexing and unifying resources with an emphasis on improving wiki.mozilla.org.
• Teach: Develop and incorporate existing curricula to on-board and mentor Mozillians through their contribution lifecycle.

Main Goals

  • Measured by: sentiment towards openness and inclusion
• To share: index wiki.mozilla.org
  • Measured by: number of edits on the wiki
• To teach: publish and expand the on-boarding content.
  • Measured by: number of Mozillians who complete the on-boarding

Increase community building capacity in the project

• To broaden: repurpose the #millionmozillians and and community quilt projects to learn about the health of communities and commitments to the Million Mozillians goal.
