Roll Call, who's here (Name, location, What do you think of the new Mozilla logo?)

  • Semirah, Boston, I think it is refreshing that Mozilla has a new logo. It allows for our community to rebrand
  • Shubham Khichi, Dallas, I think its fantastic and refreshing to the new millennial era.
  • Rabimba Karanjai, Houston. I feel completely *meh* about the logo
  • Robby Sayles, Dallas, Liking the new logo......
  • Benjamin Kerensa, Portland, I think it will not last long and agree with designers who say it looks a decade old
  • DELlicia Shorter //The logo make a statement of hope
  • Emma, at first I wasn't sure because I was worried people wouldn't know that :// was protocol and not a face but as I've seen peoples reaction, and let it settle - I super like it , it feels like a recognizable 'opinion'


Topics:


Looking for Volunteers for Note Taking? 

Nominations open Diversity and Inclusion for Participation team (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSclUs1bQNfPJY55WcyjfLR0SMdBjOuMKGx3O-7NOvmIjpH3VA/viewform) +1 we have only 27% female nominees, please reach into your community (past, present of future Mozillian), women and voices of diversity). Often people won't think of their voice as being important, that's where you can play an important role! <3

logo? year plan? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NMgOCplPzTCKcJZ1gdFryBgSYj55z1t3GYZ71Z0Wg8Q/edit?usp=sharing social media strategy Once we determine our social media strategy we can update this Mozilla social media presence wiki: Community_Social_Media_Presense

  • TO DO: Add Mozilla USA & Canada blog to this wiki +Mozilla Boston Twitter +Mozilla Utah Facebook
  • Others:

task management software (https://trello.com/invite/northamericanmozillacommunity/bd1d57e5a86d4b18883557b7c4428506) --> Doesn't work anymore +1 couldn't access .... Robby please check this link create a wiki for the community (any volunteers)--> Shubham Khichi, (Timeline: 2 weeks) Building our vision statement (google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gDqVQEwp82qCWiBB24w6GShIeGhSq5Y96Soljkd8Rp0/edit?usp=sharing) Note: Canada and USA going separate ways ? can you elaborate on this?

  • USA focused on conferences (MoCo) what conferences, and what of Mozilla's goals does this line up with?
  • Canada is more focused with developed stuff (MoFo) there is a lot of work being done between Mofo and Moco to align work, for example both are working on onboarding for new mozillians (pooling their work, setting goals).
  • Goals don’t align ? again can you explain what the goals are, and why they don't aline (assuming you mean USA and Canada), second questions - do people identify as having goals related to their country of residence? Or their community (local)
  • In community organizing, it’s better to organize with smaller scale (scalability and sustainable) +1
  • Communication with everyone

How to communicate this to Mozilla? create verbiage to show that strengthen the countries separately is more productive

  • Is there work/documentation somewhere that explains how we see those differences?
  • If people are very spaced out - why do country lines matter (wanting to understand)

Mozilla Canada may need their own leadership what is leadership in the context of this discussion? Do you think you can come up with a hypothesis as to why this split is important to do now? vrs maybe breaking down the possibilities and testing what works (what I think we should consider, and respects different organizing styles, and commitment etc) ? AND then making a decision?

  • An initiative for North America
  • An initiative for just USA
  • An initiative for just Canada
  • An an initiative for just local community

Don't want burnout! Don't shoot too high! +1

Notes:

Emma: learn the last surge attempts of North American meetup attempts

learn from past communities

What do we envision as a meetup

What do we want to get out of it

Goals that show we have leanred from the past

Who is in a meetup

How is that taking shape




-had goals to run a pop up in vancouver (exhausting but successful) brought out reps, hard to get help, taxing, went back to local managing - we can do it

use desgin thinking or innovative ways to build community, succeeded in learning things and not at a rate to help volunteers




Particiaption has a goal to align with communities to get things done within Mozilla, do what matters, types of events wanted would be learning Rust/MozActivate




Majken: past experience from last meetups, people wold agree on goals/documents, people were given things to do and didnt actually finish them

we are a bunch of islands,people have other jobs, wanted to build community ourselves but we need back up,

India has l10n, they have localization as the glue, what is the NA glue? several people with great leadership but wanted different outcomes, every leader had a different outcome, allow people to break off


  • -Are there communities and what does it look like, what are the goals



  • Next meeting January 8th, 2016 7PM EST // 10PM UTC
