* All funding and remote coordination of spaces can be done via the existing Mozilla Reps platform
* All funding and remote coordination of spaces can be done via the existing Mozilla Reps platform
=== Types of Community Spaces ===
* '''Shared''' co-working space: Mozilla volunteers rent out space from an existing co-working space run by a third party
** Pros: easier to manage, less costly
** Cons: smaller, not always possible to organize events, periodic access
* '''Stand-alone''' space: Mozilla volunteers rent entire space
** Pros: space entirely run by local Mozilla community; space can be adapted to community's needs, full autonomy, full access
** Cons:  more complex to manage, volunteer needs to agree to be legally responsible for space
=== Community Space Pilots ===
There is an opportunity to leverage existing initiatives led by Mozilla Reps to run experimental pilot projects for both co-working spaces and autonomous spaces.
These projects will enable us to identify challenges and opportunities, as well as gather lessons and best practices with regards to costs and operations
The pilot projects have been selected based on the following criteria:
* proximity of Mozilla Reps
* level of activity and organization of local community
* location in key market for Fx OS rollout
=== Costs of running a pilot ===
* Duration of these pilots : 12 months
* Budget per pilot: ~$25k
* Space (ie. rent, furniture, supplies, branding collateral) : ~$12k
* Audio/Video equipment (ie. audio/video cart): ~$13k
=== Deliverables and Success Metrics ===
Each pilot space will commit to the following:
* nominate a space “stewards” who is responsible for the space (ie. signatory of lease) and act as WPR’s chief liaison
* nominate a minimum of 5 “key holders” tasked to support the space steward
* organize a minimum of 10 public events a month
* recruit 5 new contributors per event (50 new contributors a month)
* broadcast all events on dedicated Air Mozilla page
* provide quarterly report on activities and accomplishments
