== Vision ==
This program strives to create a Mozilla that is understandable, approachable, collaborative, satisfying to work with, well managed and diverse.
If we do this work right:
* We will have facilitated diversity and inclusion at Mozilla. We will become a benchmark for how to harness the collective intelligence of thousands of people to achieve an ambitious vision
* Community participation will be a core muscle available to all parts of Mozilla. It will be well run and programs will be routinely build in participation because they will provide real value
* High value contributions will result because Mozilla is knowable and understandable, and its pursuits are compelling. People are attracted to the project, see where they can contribute and how to do so
* When interacting with Mozilla, people will naturally locate themselves in the right context and altitude, and they will be able to naturally and appropriately connect with staff
* Their work is enjoyable, they get value out of working on Mozilla projects and they become confident that their efforts are impactful and recognized
* Mission aligned contributors and leaders will effectively work with us to invent, shape and defend the internet
== Current Challenges ==
We have a legacy to clean up: Mozilla is too messy & complicated to engage with all volunteers.
Our leadership is unified, but the organization and its β€œoperating system” isn’t yet.Β  We have vestigial walls that need to be taken down, and some new systems that need to get built.


== Identified pain points ==
== πŸŒ… 3 Year Vision ==


# At a time of massive strategic change, boundaries between people are getting in the way of making headway
By 2020, Mozillians and participants find it easy to access, understand and collaborate on Mozilla’s projects, allowing them to be effective and feel good about contributing to the mission.
#* no layered collaboration with different audiences
# Systems of participation do not allow us to be strategic
#* no tracking of who is doing what
# The volunteers we need often find it unrewarding and unnecessarily difficult to contribute to Mozilla
#* current enterprise habits provide friction in interactions with non-staff
#* current practice hampers community & reduces impact
#* fragmented relationship for Mozilla and the volunteers
# Past approaches to solving this have been ad hoc across Mozilla
#* bespoke, unconnected systems for different teams and areas


== How do we plan to provide change ==
# Mozilla is a great participatory organization, welcoming to staff, volunteers, and allied community alike
# Programs see the value participation brings to their efforts, and are able to build it into their processes and workflows
# Mozilla is knowable and understandable leading people to see where and how they can make high value contributions
# Our software tools continue to evolve in ways that encourage (responsible) openness and match our aspiration for being a great participatory organization


# Generate Momentum/Create Demand
== πŸ‘ Principles for Participation ==
#* Close collaboration with groups that want to work together, on β€œlow hanging” or urgent projects.
* Volunteers have access to the right data, at the right time, through the right tools
#* When: In progress w/ IT, MoFo, Participation, CD, identifying other key parties.
** Not all volunteers need access to all data (e.g. based on data sensitivity, NDA-status, etc.), but they do need to be able to seamlessly access what they need to execute Mozilla’s mission
# Scale to β€œnew” areas
* Great ideas come from everywhere
#* Build on infrastructure to facilitate new pan-Mozilla projects #* that leverage participation.
** Foster creation and collaboration, whether it originates from paid staff or from our amazing community of volunteers
#* When: by EOY, ongoing
* Decrease inertia while protecting Mozilla’s brand
# Replace legacy systems
** Low barrier for entry to get started as a volunteer and use progressively higher bars for representing Mozilla’s brand
#* Identifying legacy systems for participation and migrating them.
* Appropriate cost & security controls
#* When: TBD
* By default, paid staff and volunteers should use the same platforms and tools


== Program goals ==
== βœ… Strategic Objectives for Participation ==
# Enable Mozilla ID
# Deliver volunteer management systems
# Evolve collaboration systems
# Evolve collaboration systems
# Design and implement contributor management systems
# Evolve contributor compute infrastructure
# Enable Mozilla identity (non-LDAP)

πŸŒ… 3 Year Vision

By 2020, Mozillians and participants find it easy to access, understand and collaborate on Mozilla’s projects, allowing them to be effective and feel good about contributing to the mission.

  1. Mozilla is a great participatory organization, welcoming to staff, volunteers, and allied community alike
  2. Programs see the value participation brings to their efforts, and are able to build it into their processes and workflows
  3. Mozilla is knowable and understandable leading people to see where and how they can make high value contributions
  4. Our software tools continue to evolve in ways that encourage (responsible) openness and match our aspiration for being a great participatory organization

πŸ‘ Principles for Participation

  • Volunteers have access to the right data, at the right time, through the right tools
    • Not all volunteers need access to all data (e.g. based on data sensitivity, NDA-status, etc.), but they do need to be able to seamlessly access what they need to execute Mozilla’s mission
  • Great ideas come from everywhere
    • Foster creation and collaboration, whether it originates from paid staff or from our amazing community of volunteers
  • Decrease inertia while protecting Mozilla’s brand
    • Low barrier for entry to get started as a volunteer and use progressively higher bars for representing Mozilla’s brand
  • Appropriate cost & security controls
  • By default, paid staff and volunteers should use the same platforms and tools

βœ… Strategic Objectives for Participation

  1. Enable Mozilla ID
  2. Deliver volunteer management systems
  3. Evolve collaboration systems

🚩 Collaboration model

The program will be developed in close collaboration between IT and Participation.

  1. Participation and IT teams will co-design solutions
  2. Joint steering committee to oversee program
  3. Co-ownership at program and product level

Execution

πŸ‘₯ Who is the team?
