== Chloe Vareldi will present her amazing Pathway finding tool! ==


* Mentoring at Mozilla :
Discover is a tool prototype that connects Open Badges to your interests, education, experiences and personality traits. Combined, these paint a picture of the skills you have -- and where you need to grow -- to apply for your dream job, volunteer position or learning opportunity.
** Full discussion over email here: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/5392563
** Notes here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Contribute/Pathways/mentoring


* Tabled items:
* discover.openbadges.org
** Contributor matching and timely contribution opportunities improvement
* initially design to help young people explore possible career paths
* interviewed people working in different industries, created a directory
* pathways in real-life aren't linear; more like puzzle pieces
* discovered that telling your personal pathway story is rewarding, both for the storyteller and for audience
* badges are core vs not-core?
* Can we include badges from anyplace from the open badges world?
* planned to have the discovery connected to directory of badges of issuers from all over the place
* what about analytics? would like to have this
* can we adapt to use to outline and guide people through mozilla contrib pathways?
**  working with 3 contributors to learn about use case
* stories are important, can we outline what points to collect with getting people's stories? e.g. what's a badge-able moment, etc.


* Non-profit partnerships and pathways building (Larissa)
== Mentoring to Guiding ==
* Full discussion over email here: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/5392563
* Can we make an action point about this and broadcast it over the Project Call?
* Let's set a deadline:
* What are the next steps for establishing Guides as a thing?
** ck will start an etherpad and we'll hack on it together
** will aim to publish by end of june
* not a new thing, people are already fulfilling this role in some areas of the project. we can identify them and make sure they have the support they need
* suggested approach: clarify what a guide is, what scope is and id how to support (vs approach as we're changing mentor to guide)
* there's a specific context for this:
** We want to define a group of folks who provide support for brand new Mozillians or new contributors, as well as existing ones who want/need a new project. This is not meant to change terminology or scope for existing successful mentoring programs.


* Contributor spotlights and "story telling"
* Action items:
** team will hack on an etherpad for documentation share and turn that into a blog post defining this project and share out around the project
** we will then seek out folks who may already be doing guide type work to learn from them
** eventually, we'll communicate this out broadly and use it on channels such as (but not limited to) the get involved page, in order to help move new contributors forward


* Work week update
== Tabled items: ==
 
* Silent updates :
Contributor matching and timely contribution opportunities improvement
** What is one new pathway you have identified recently?
* This is similar to pathways finding tool
** Resources from this week. What are you reading? What are you into?
* Skipped this week, we'll come back to it when Jennie is back.
 
== Non-profit partnerships and pathways building (Larissa) ==
 
* Goal: Build NGO and non-profit partnerships that will help us broaden our contribution opportunities.
* Ask - is anyone else working on partnerships in their area?
** Lyre - community lead for code for boston (chapter of code for america), also have Mozillians in Tulsa (luke crouch), chattanooga (?)
** Seems like a great synergy with Teachtheweb team & Maker Party/Mozfest folks.
** Ben M. from MoFo could be a great point of contact ben@mozillafoundation.org (development/partnerships lead)
 
== Contributor spotlights and "story telling" ==
* Opportunity: about:mozilla newsletter, re-vamped get involved page (in development), member of press team is working on documenting contributor stories in interview style
* How do we triage who to highlight? e.g. how do we identify who justin should interview when (bugzilla ??)
* Have a separate meeting to figure out process? Yes.
* Would you like to be involved?
** Lizz
** Larissa
 
== Work week update?  ==
 
* Working on organizing a joint community building working group meetups this summer. Pathways, recognition and education. Reached out to folks individually. Tell Larissa if you didn't get an invite and want to attend.
