=== 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 | |||
